Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

Maine Governor Janet Mills is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Susan Collins. After taking on Donald Trump today, she’s shown that she has what it takes to win this race. support @GovJanetMills for the Senate!

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

💥 Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.

Believe them. (What’s “the job”? Ending our democracy, and 🇺🇸 as we know it?)

"Refusing to name this as fascism is appeasement. Refusing to act against it is complicity. History doesn’t just remember the heroes who stood against tyranny—it remembers the cowards who enabled it." 👇Read More: americanmanifesto.news/p/this-is-fa... #BeRelentless

The Eric Adams criminal case raises significant concerns about the independence of the Justice Department and the role of political influence in prosecutions. 💡 The key question: Was there an improper quid pro quo—and if so, will the Court do anything about it?

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

As of noon on Thursday, Trump was president for 31 full days. He spent all or part of 16 of those days at four Trump Organization properties. from @pbump.com: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Yep.

🤦🏻‍♂️ Just now at CPAC — Musk awkwardly swings around a chainsaw on stage to symbolize their rampage through the federal government, cutting jobs and programs as they pretend to care about the debt (while paving the way for trillions in tax cuts for the rich)

I created Democracy Docket in 2020 to help keep you informed on the fight for democracy in court. Five years later, it continues to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. Support the work of its 19-person team: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

Well there you have it. DOGE’s so-called cost cutting has cost US taxpayers at least $40 million.

Emergency food, TB testing and other programs have not resumed, despite a judge’s order halting President Trump’s dismantling of USAID.

Sen. Mitch McConnell: "Seven times my fellow Kentuckians have sent me to the Senate. Representing our Commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek this honor an eighth time. My current term in the Senate will be my last." #ProudBlue #ByeFelicia #GoodRiddance

Macron has just urged the French to join the military reserve. “We are entering a new era”. France will have to spend more on defence. “The threat that Russia represents imposes choices on us” (Live exchange on social media)

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

"Elon Musk is the undisputed champion of making money for Elon Musk. As effectively the CEO of the United States of America? Very bad. Embarrassing, honestly..." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

My latest: "King" Trump Will Make Dictators Great Again At The Expense of America & Our Allies Trump seeks to recreate Putin's dictatorship at home. In doing so he's willing to throw Ukraine, our allies & the American people, especially his voters, under the bus. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

He should be our messenger.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the original American patriots fought a fucking Revolutionary War to liberate ourselves from the rule of a king. This ain't the flex he thinks it is.

Billionaires are full of shit.

Fuck Donald Trump.

My heart breaks at news of another horrific plane crash. I'm praying for the families of the victims & people of Arizona. It's vital the government thoroughly investigate this tragedy to bring peace to the victims and families and protect everyone flying in the US. abcnews.go.com/US/2-dead-af...
