I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

🚨 My new book, The Folly of Realism, comes out in less than one week 🚨 Take a look at the video trailer!

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

Call to Action: Protest against Trump and fascism. Los Angeles, California. February 22 at 12PM "Your voice matters" #3E #USProtest #ProtestCA #Feb22

We need your #help preserving the progressive majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Voting rights, reproductive rights, the environment, and so much more are at stake.

Truth! 👏🏻👏🏻

It's genuinely unfortunate that Republicans didn't show up to hear the concerns of Wisconsin farmers who are very worried about what Trump & Elon cutting their federal funding & contracts could mean for their livelihoods and the future of their family farms.

".. not only did Trump not win any sort of mandate, his honeymoon numbers are basically a participation trophy compared with other presidents." @sykescharlie.bsky.social charliesykes.substack.com/p/trumps-hon...

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

“Some students asked, 'Are we going to practice like an [active shooter] drill for when ICE comes?'” How Trump’s immigration agenda is disrupting education around the country

Lawrence O’Donnell explained the reasons Gov Hochul made the decision not to unseat Adams & remarked that we are being ill-served by media. But it also helps that ppl are too lazy to do any real research before proclaiming themselves instant experts. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

“It’s what President Trump has asked for." Republicans are gearing up to adopt a budget that would statutorily increase the debt. But they say that’s fine as long as it’s for tax cuts.

New from my team at the @brennancenter.bsky.social on the disastrous effects the SAVE Act would have on American elections. The short version? The way tens of millions of Americans interact with elections would be totally upended 🧵 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

He’s doing a golf cart parade at his own club. What a pathetic jackass.

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

@ossoff.bsky.social: “The momentum that is growing in Washington to gut the Medicaid program is alarming my constituents in Georgia.”

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.
