DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

The U.S. must follow due process. If this administration is going to deport people, make sure they're actually criminals. The stakes are too high to make mistakes. Abrego Garcia should be returned immediately.

Russia, North Korea and Hungary all exempt from Trump tariffs. Hmm mm. Wannabe dictator traitor to America favors his dictator friends.

I really miss Joe Biden.

DOGE is not about efficiency or cost savings. It is about power.

I was 17 in 1972 and remember being so hopeful then. Who could possibly be against Equal Rights in America? Like freedom and the right to pursue happiness...who could possibly be against it? I still don't understand the opposition. 🤔🤨

This is horrible, monstrous, anti-American, anti-Christian, mean and hateful. Makes me ashamed to be an American.

Reminder: Republicans, Democrats and Independents have a common enemy in the oligarchs. Some of us don't know it yet. However, it will take all of us to stop Dark Enlightenment from becoming our dystopian reality. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/07/s...

Trump and Elon talk about “protecting American jobs,” but they’re currently trying to kill 2 million of them. Civil servants do cancer research, keep our air and water clean, are vital to our national security, and support our economy. They must be protected. thehill.com/regulation/c...

I love that these complete morons assumed we were sending palettes of cash to countries and not sending things like rice and wheat while paying American farmers for those goods

It’s a coup. Musk and his gang are breaking laws. They should be arrested. This is not complicated.

FBI firings are a 5 alarm fire. Firing the senior leadership, scores of senior agents and hundreds of line agents will make us less safe from criminals and external threats. This is a catastrophe of yet incalculable proportions. These attacks on law enforcement are a menace to the American people.

Elon Musk is NOT: - An elected official - An appointee confirmed by the Senate - Or even a legit fed So why the hell has he been given access to fire federal employees, sensitive gov data, and federal payment systems. He must be stopped.

BREAKING—Musk has convinced Trump to officially shut down USAID and terminate all USAID-foreign aid to charities. Many legal experts say shuttering USAID violates a law adopted by Congress establishing the agency, and violates laws against impounding Congressionally approved funds.

180 Republicans Voted Against Funding the FAA, the Agency That Keeps Planes from Crashing Trump selected eight of them to serve in his administration. Read this exclusive research and reporting on Meidas+.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.

It is unconscionable to hold disaster victims hostage as part of a scheme to pass massive tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy corporations. Let me politely articulate our position to House Republicans. Get lost.

Jack Smith did his duty. And the public deserves to see the product of his work and that of his team. Before Trump can follow through on his promise to bury it.

Biden on Meta ending fact-checking: "Telling the truth matters ... it's just completely contrary to everything America's about. We want to tell the truth. We haven't always done it as a nation, but we want to tell the truth ... I think it's really shameful."

Here's action for resistors

Not housing the homeless is a policy choice we have made. It is shameful and wrong. We should house and feed those in need and in poverty. Not give tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.

To my mind Brian Tyler Cohen is a national treasure: clear/ compelling/analytic/powerful/courageous and also funny. We need his voice more than ever. In today's post, he is angrier than I've ever seen him - and he's right to be angry.

I used to think this was an expression of concern, not a promise.

There is no compromise with fascism. There can be no healing without accountability & no forgiveness without atonement. Jan 6th will continue to be a festering scab on our politics until justice is served. #NeverForget #DemCast #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE

💯 Never forget what Trump and other Republican traitors did 1.6.21. Don't vote for traitors and insurrectionists!

💯

How could someone with 34 felonies become president?

I was so moved by the Jimmy Carter funeral today I sent a donation to the CarterCenter.org. I would encourage you to do the same. He was the first President I ever voted for. He and Rosalynn continue to help people and wage peace even after death. Amazing. RIP Jimmy.

January 6 Should Be "Disqualification Day" For Adjudicated Insurrectionist Trump. But Will It Be? youtu.be/5OCN-OvYsW0?...

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

President Jimmy Carter leaves a legacy unlike any other. Ceaseless in his service, unbending in his dignity, and revered for his commitment to our common humanity. He fought the good fight and kept the faith — and now he has finished his race. May his memory be an inspiration.

Why, DOJ, why? Are 17-year-old girls not worth your time and effort? You let Gaetz get away with these crimes. You should be protecting children and women, not the perpetrators of sex crimes.

Serious question Why can’t we vote on our phones? We handle money and stocks and crypto on our phones. We handle medical issues on our phones. We have end-to-end encrypted communications on our phones. Why not voting?

Having an independent, civilian-led military matters, as we came to learn in connection with Jan 6, in more ways than one. Hegseth's nomination to be SecDef is something we can't ignore. joycevance.substack.com/p/secdef

I'll repeat it again: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were never elected to Congress and should have ZERO say in any conversation about the government shutdown. Zero.

JEFFRIES: “House Republicans detonated a bipartisan agreement because they have been ordered (by President Elon Musk & VP Trump) to shut down the government.”

It's not being talked about enough how the same people who were all for sEcUrInG tHe bOrDeR two months ago are about to withhold Border Patrol agents from getting paid by shutting down the government. Insane.

There's no question why tech moguls are dumping millions into Trump's inauguration fund. They're buying influence and they're buying Trump's favor. Make no mistake. This is a government of billionaires working for billionaires.

Jeffries: This reckless republican-driven shutdown can be avoided if House Republicans will simply do what is right for the American people and stick with the bipartisan agreement that they themselves negotiated.

They want to crash the economy So they can declare a crisis and state of emergency So they can suspend free speech -- and imprison and execute people without charges or trials This is the fascist playbook -- know it so you can oppose it

Holy sh*t! The U.S. Senate is considering putting forth BIPARTISAN legislation to apply TERM LIMITS on Supreme Court justices. RT if you ABSOLUTELY support term limits for the Supreme Court!! 💙

It doesn’t get much more foolish than this.
