“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus … Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti. They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death. What don’t they want the public to know?

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

CBS again bent the knee to Trump and blocked Stephen Colbert from hosting Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings. This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.” “No,” her husband said. I urge you to read this today.

STEALING OUR MONEY! tRumpstein ADDED $696 BILLION TO THE NATIONAL DEBT OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS ... Borrowing $94 billion in January alone!!! 100% of Gross Domestic Product! The HIGHEST PERCENTAGE THE NATIONAL DEBT HAS EVER MADE UP OF GDP WAS 106%, and that was immediately following World War II

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Now that members of Congress are able to see what was redacted they are learning how Todd Blanche failed to comply with the law in countless instances, and it’s now about to get real because what DOJ was hiding is the most incriminating stuff.

A new proposal from the Trump administration would take away one of the main safeguards federal employees have when they are fired. It would strip an independent review board of its power to hear appeals from terminated workers and block those employees from taking their cases to court.

Please call the Senate they will vote very soon on whether to allow dangerous sulfide-ore copper mining on the edges of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Tell them to vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140 (H.J. Res. 140).

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Ohhh… he really will never stop peddling dangerous rhetoric.

The 20 biggest political donors on the Forbes billionaires list have collectively given nearly $5 billion between 2015 and 2024. We must get Big Money out of politics. No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped. And yes, they’re fields dominated by women. #ProudBlue www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

After Texas news outlets made a public records request to see emails Gov. Abbott and Musk’s companies, state officials took months fighting and delaying their release. Then, they released 1,374 pages with all but 200 of those pages entirely blacked out. trib.al/gAr6UQy

Well, I just impulsively asked for tomorrow off of work to drive to Fort Worth and back, and then most of the way to Galveston, to transport a rescue kitty. Like you do. #CatRescue #RoadTrip

I put a bunch of library books on hold that had long wait lists, and then forgot about them, so now I keep getting pickup notices that are total surprises. #librarybooks

"One case involved the sole African American attorney working for the Mississippi State Senate, who was paid less than half of what her white colleagues made. As clear-cut a case of disparate racial treatment you could find. Trump appointees ordered us to drop it." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.

This is fun!

President Donald Trump reportedly pardoned the husband of a Tennessee House Republican who admitted to distributing misbranded kidney dialysis drugs and committing health care fraud.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived. (Published October)
