Read this whole thread!

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

#TrumpTariffs #TrumpMarketCrash

Separation. Of. Powers. Mike Johnson is appalling.

Thick as mince. It's a cult.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Yep

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

Gotta be honest, not really enjoying 2025's remake of "The Wizard of Oz."

One of these things is not like the others

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Truthfully, I would prefer lemon olive oil cake. But I’m good with all the rest.

“I won’t forget” ?

and there it is

Great meeting with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers! When our unions are strong, Minnesota is strong.

Quite the message from the guy running our government

A trifecta.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Filed in District Court today. Judge Berman Jackson making sure the record will always be reflective of what really happened that day.

An important historical note — that USAID helped end Apartheid — sheds new light on Elon’s relentless and soulless attack on USAID. During Apartheid, Black South Africans were robbed of human rights and political power. 1/2 www.thealtmedia.com/p/musks-sout...

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

“The purge orders of the Justice Department are so patently unlawful that the acting F.B.I. Director Brian Driscoll, as well as the acting deputy director and other senior F.B.I. officials across the country, outright resisted.” www.justsecurity.org/107507/senat...

I’ve been saying this to all the leopards eating faces people! This is a time for building coalitions, not chastising.

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

This is why we can't have nice things, 'Murica. Instead of dealing with Jabba the Trump and the Ketamine Klansman using America as their personal bank account, we could have had actual leadership in the White House. You'd have been a hell of a vice president, Tim Walz.

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside down—a universal signal of distress.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

Sometimes you just have to say “fuck you” with a flourish

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

Jeffries: The constitution requires the president has the responsibility to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Spending agreements passed through the appropriations process are law. When those laws are violated, the constitution has been violated.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:
