Russia is the enemy of the US and Europe. Also, our children in the US need the Dept. of Ed. and Medicaid. US citizens need Medicare and Social Security. These are rites we have as US citizens. The top "1%" owe their power/wealth to the US for providing the opportunity.

Work has had me completely occupied recently, but the Trump regime has continued on the trajectory that we anticipated. They are attempting a complete take-over to end our democracy. As some patriotic protestors have said: Our children are still in the house. Stop trying to burn it down!!!

BREAKING: The Continuing Resolution cloture motion has passed 62-38, advancing the CR to a final vote. These are the Democrats who voted to invoke cloture:

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR. In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

@maddow.msnbc.com Great show as always! When presenting polling numbers, you present colored bars. Could those bars represent the numbers like a histogram? It seems like a missed opportunity as so much public opinion is really strikingly against the Trump Admin policies.

Hahahaha!

Perhaps Lankford could let his state’s Senator know so that he can stop kowtowing to Trump and Elon who keep firing everyone.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

I stand with Al Green…

“…if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from TX for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial & ethnic slur against a sitting US Senator." 💥⁦‪ @raskin.house.gov

PSA alert Login to SSA statement will be barcoded/time stamped what you’ve paid in/what your SSA benefits will be due to you. If information disappears having a hard copy on hand at all times is crucial!!! make sure to keep safe your SSA card issued from them on hand

I saw “this is not normal” signs at Trump’s speech to joint session of Congress, but Dems holding them don’t understand what it means. Otherwise, they would have been thrown out with Al Green. The destruction of our government and Constitution is “not normal,” so normal “decorum” does not apply!

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Trump admin could do better job at downsizing if they valued a functional government. Outright destruction is apparent goal. Question is, why give up so easily? Could Project2025 just be another diversion from main goal of tax break for rich at expense of social security, Medicare/caid. Deplorable

@repjasmine.bsky.social: "It's not the trans people who made you lose your job... who started a tariff war with Mexico or Canada or China... who are taking away the Department of Education... it's also not the immigrants. And it's definitely not the Black folk."

I do reserve the right, however, to feel sorry for their children, firstly for having such morons as parents, and secondly for having to share in the suffering their stupid parents brought on all of us.

@marcelias.bsky.social “to be targeted by [Trump] and the mob he unleashes. It is totally reasonable to be worried. But for a Republican senator to say they are so worried that they’re going to betray their oath of office is such cowardice. Why are you in office?” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

“There must be no pause in the pressure on Russia to stop this war and terror against life.” Reminder - Russia is still killing Ukrainians. Trump is an enemy of our national interests many fold (and not just a terrible human being). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/w...

In delayed statement of the obvious, a court has again ordered Trump to stop breaking the law (impounding funds allocated by Congress). This time it was about emergency response funds. While we track with horror things cut, courts should act more quickly and broadly. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

"Members are getting disruptful" said Speaker Johnson. The first Democrat was booted out of the joint session of Congress for calling out Trump lies. It took less than 10 minutes. Hopefully, Trump won't be able to finish his speech, or every last Democrat has to be dragged out.

Every single Ohio GOP Representative (10 older white men) voted to gut Medicaid. It's the healthcare provider for 3,000,000 Ohioans -- 25% of the state's population And 6 in 10 seniors in nursing homes rely on medicaid Call these Congressmen and give them a piece of your mind #Ohio #OHpol

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Please note Mr Zelenskyy that many of us did listen to warnings and voted for Kamala Harris the strong + worthy candidate who told us all numerous times about Donald Trump + his weakness for dictators like Putin - unfortunately others ignored the warnings + doomed us all. 🙄

JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation, only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Please, please keep showing up and resist.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (By @andertoon.bsky.social )

Not sure why the original post was blocked. Here's the youtube link. youtu.be/BTM5927I_i4?...

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Brutal.

"Funding Ukraine is the deal of the century" on MSNBC tonight. What I've been saying all along. It's a no-brainer. Ukraine is fighting our fight...We dodge a Korean War, a Vietnam War etc. because Ukrainians are so strong..and because we can't fight directly in a cold war.

How does one become a Congressman, because our country needs some more representing.

A couple of things need to be said: Government has a "public good" driver that is not present in Capitalism. Government is not a business, and Capitalism is not our form of government. That being said, the rich became rich because the country provided the opportunity, so they owe TAXES.

FUCK ALL REPUBLICANS. You are all complicit and should be voted out for the next 3 generations.

What is needed to keep the Trump administration from overturning the Constitution: 1) Can the US Constitution survive until the next federal election? 2) What can we do if those that we are opposing actually want to destroy our form of government so don't feel pressured by public opinion/protests??

What Constitutional changes are needed to protect the US from the next Trump which may be smarter and aimed at destroying our Democracy? I think the Judiciary needs a fail-safe break between President and army, and Congress needs to have a quality control rule where they follow-up on their laws..

Okay, is Trump: A) A rabid, aged dog with no agenda B) The anti-Christ sent to destroy the US Watching the the Zelensky presser again I think Trump is just a tool being directed by is caretakers (that want to destroy the Constitution and our alliances).

i'm stealing this from someone on twitter but the difference in body language here is due to the fact that both of these men are condemned to eternal damnation in the deepest circle of Hell but only Rubio realizes it

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.
