We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

So….Hegseth has quit drinking yeah?

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Thank you to @DeanObeidallah for having me on tonight. If you missed it, check out his website where you can listen to previous episodes. Dean agrees, this special election in FL-6 is the turning point for America, if we're going to have any chance of stopping Project 2025.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

WATCH: Senator Chris Van Hollen reveals DOGE: 1 - They IMMEDIATELY fired all Inspector Generals at each Government Agency. They protect against fraud, waste & abuse. 2. Fire merit based employees and bring in political CRONIES. 3. Takeover ALL agencies to work for the RICH! WE MUST ALL SPEAK UP!

This is a great piece.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

@wired.com: “6 young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24 who have little to no government experience are now playing critical roles in Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” & are heading up Musk’s hostile takeover of our government www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

did america vote to stop suicide prevention efforts for veterans?

Sen. Thom Tillis will be remembered by history as a coward. For not, let us work to see that he is defeated in Nov. 2026.

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋

One can order COSTCO groceries through UberEats without a membership, too. ;)

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape. But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused." More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

The joke is on us.

So let me get this straight, Rev Lorenzo Sewell gave an over the top prayer at the inauguration, and then literally launched a crypto coin after? This is just the biggest grift in human history. Ever. OMG

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

We are going to have a backlash election in less than two years. Get your shit wired straight. It's our job to make this the biggest backlash election in history.

We fought for years to make this office a reality and lives were saved because of it. Stay tuned because we’re not giving up on this. Trump might be okay with dissolving a life-saving office but the people aren’t.

Just got off TikTok Live, and a Trump supporter said, “I thought Trump was going to protect DREAMers, and now he’s coming after them. My family are DREAMers. This is not what I voted for.” Well MAGA, this IS what you voted for, because this was always his plan. Welcome to the GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!
