It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

It’s always gratifying (and harrowing) to read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. But I especially enjoy it when amidst the stark truths about our crisis she turns out passages like this: open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

It’s difficult to admit, but Democrats absolutely MUST come to the realization that until they divorce themselves entirely from corporate America and realign their policies and strategies with the working class, the party has no real future… because the party cannot claim to represent the people.

I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

These free speech absolutists sure have a problem when the target of the speech is them and their rich buddies. Here's an ad from @commoncause.bsky.social and @splcenter.org that the cowards at the @washingtonpost.com wouldn't run

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

#handsoffmedicaid #medicaid Medicaid cuts would hurt us all! www.familyvoicesofca.org/medicaid/

Why is this entire administration narcissistic idiots cosplaying in cabinet roles? Everyone one of them seems to be playing a role that is far beyond their skills and are focused on makeup, photo ops, and sound bites (which are often inaccurate but they’ll “correct” them quietly later if at all)

Medicaid currently insures and protects nearly 80 million Americans. Trump and Musk are pushing a terrifying agenda to gut Medicaid — to feed the insatiable greed of the most privileged in America. Trump’s tax cuts will deliver the greatest benefit to the wealthiest 5 percent of…

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...

It’s wild. I have never received right leaning ads on my Facebook and yet in the past 2 weeks I’ve been flooded with republican congress ads, right leaning press ads, and read wife influencers….wtf…

This is why we’re so worried

1/ I am one of the founding members of the 1st agency-level team of USDS. I disagree that the mission of DOGE is similar to that of the Digital Service. It sounds similar on the surface, but there are a couple of fundamental differences. Quick 🧵 rollcall.com/2025/02/04/w...

This has a lot of good info. I think we are in for the fight of our lives, for our lives, and for our freedom. I hope I am up to the task at hand.
