What ?!?

He can always do both. apnews.com/article/butt...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Not good. Not good at all.

Lots of good, decent Americans losing jobs that benefit all of us because the world’s richest man (who none of us elected) doesn’t think they’re important. Sure, MAGA.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

More Dems are fighting back. Hope is alive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=suiq...

This is the energy we need from more Dems. She really brings the facts and the fight to them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh7p...

Lesson one for Dems in Congress, this is how you respond to a dictator. Not that wishy washy talk you all have been laying down.

Just got off the phone with Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), who said Elon Musk's DOGE team is "actively dismantling" federal Department of Education programs today. "They are in the building, on the 6th floor, canceling grants and contracts."

32 days until the government runs out of money Democratic are about to have a lot of leverage Not clear they’ll use it

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

when yall see conservatives say “DEI” you can just replace it with the n-word to understand what they really mean

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

This is the work Dems in Congress should be doing right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xulj...

If John Wick was a leadership Dem there would have only been one movie, about 15 minutes long, about a real sad guy with a dead wife and a dead dog, cut to black, roll credits

Let's go!

Everyone in Congress should be bringing the same energy that Jasmine Crockett does.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

Where's the accountability? No one elected Musk.

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

America is under attack. youtu.be/2B6gS_WyXKo

All of this from @pastpunditry.bsky.social. The crisis is not *legible*. Even politically attentive people have no idea - the media are not conveying the scope and magnitude of what's happening. It has to be made legible through political and institutional resistance, not passivity and resignations.

Canada is targeting red states with their tariffs. Dems should take a note from Canada.

@jeffstein.bsky.social and WaPo broke this yesterday. NYT advances. This is indescribably bad. “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system late on Friday” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DEMOCRATS I DO NOT WANT A FUNDRAISING TEXT FROM JAMES CARVILLE

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Jasmine Crockett, I love that she cuts right to the point!

BIG TIME THIS. I want one reporter or one senator who is questioning a nominee...ask them flat out "do you think black people are unqualified to be in XYZ position? Do you think women are unqualified to be pilots/doctors/senators?" Just. Ask. Them.

He definitely should be doing more and fighting harder. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

Organizing is hard work. Most Dems don't want to do any work.

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services. We've heard reports of Medicaid portals being shut down and childcare funds being frozen. Trump is steering the US into a disaster of his own making.

Jennings: This salute trutherism is outrageous.  Rampell: Do it right now on TV! If you think it’s a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won’t you?!
