Dawn Rasmussen is a candidate in the Democratic primary for Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District. I spoke with her about some of the pressing issues facing Oregonians and why she wants to represent the people. youtu.be/CwkEkQrRdSs?... #oregon #democraticprimary #midterms2026 #OR2 #democrat #election

Medicaid covers nearly half of all children born in the country and around two-thirds of nursing home care for seniors. The Republican Party is voting today on a budget framework with will gut Medicaid to finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. "Party of family values."

Bitch you are the government.

Outrageous. Unacceptable. Infuriating. It is estimated that 6,000 veterans have likely been fired by DOGE. The federal government should be protecting veterans’ jobs, not stripping them of their livelihoods. punchbowl.news/article/wash...

#braindrain arrives in the form of #resignations, not just firings. We will lose decades of expertise because #ComradeKrasnov and #Musk know nothing about running the #government and prefer it that way. #america is in major trouble. #doge #federalemployees #americaunderattack

The #trickledown myth has been shattered repeatedly. New research provides some of the most iron-clad evidence yet. #incomeinequality #classwar #wealthredistribution #reagan #decline #cruelty

We love merit, don’t we folks?

This is Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget.

Goodbye #publiclands — soon, the only one we’ll remember is that stupid outdoors store. #sovereignwealthfund #wealthextraction #environment #publictrust #theft #graft #krasnov #trump #p2025 #americaindecline

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Even though Trump has exempted DOGE from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by placing it under the Presidential Records Act, its records are shielded from public disclosure until at least 2034.

#Musk/TrumpCoup #TripleCanopy #Devos #BlackwaterMusk a Musk and Trump have their mercenary para-military to keep our legislators out of their criminal activities. #ThisIsACoup Is anyone going to fight? Our leaders in Congress, the military & Judiciary MUST FIGHT BACK. The rest of us need to RESIST.

Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war. Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

Time to put #TripleCanopy on blast — the newest mutation in Blackwater’s malignant evolution, now #blocking government officials from doing their job in places they have every right to be. The #brownshirts will be privatized. #musk #presidentkrasnov #coup #americaunderattack #classwar #doge

Former crypto adviser Corey Frayer, "Trump is participating in shady crypto schemes that harm investors while at the same time appointing financial regulators who will roll back protections for victims & who may insulate him & his family from enforcement." #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

After watching the #kootenai #nazi bros try to drag that woman out of the #townhall in #idaho I highly recommend everyone filming or otherwise making themselves a target for #fascists begin wearing metal-spiked jackets — with long #spikes on the sleeve and shoulder, where fascists most likely tograb

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

From a friend who is smarter and more well-versed in history than me: “Hypocritical fucks with no moral center - the only difference between Chamberlain slicing up Czechoslovakia for Hitler in 1938 and Trump knifing Ukraine for Putin is that Chamberlain didn’t blame Czechoslovakia.” Shameful.

We've seen this scam before. The GOP always finds money for tax cuts for the wealthiest but never for programs that help families thrive. As Ranking Member on the Budget Committee, I will fight this harmful budget every step of the way to protect the programs working families need to thrive.

A microcosm of American cruelty. We are a nation without moral standing. #deportation #crimesagainsthumanity #inhumane #humanrights #immigration #politicalasylum #childimprisonment

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

AOC has the right idea. Corporate welfare costs us $92 billion, the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, and it is estimated that extending his 2017 tax cuts will cost $11 trillion over 10 years. Let’s work on getting rid of the waste that is already there.

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.

“…too weak to govern as president.” This @theguardian.com editorial is exceptionally brutal. This is the tone we must all adopt. The emperor has no clothes. #trump #impoundment #unitaryexecutivetheory #usconstitution #constitutionalcrisis #monarchy #oligarchy #americaunderattack

#Russia invaded #Ukraine. The war was always Russia’s war to end. Blaming the duration and devastation of this war on #Zelensky is idiotic, historical revisionist victim-blaming. It’s like asking a woman why she fought back during an assault when she could have just lied still. #endthewar #putin

A freeze on the hiring and onboarding of thousands of federal firefighters could have deadly consequences as the national wildfire response operates at a "diminished capacity," a federal firefighting captain tells @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social: nbcnews.to/3D0rulI

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Hey @rbreich.bsky.social , I was just thinking that if insurance companies won’t insure homes in fire-prone areas, and mortgage lenders can’t provide home loans without insurance… that pretty much means that future homeowners and landlords will only be wealthy cash buyers who self-insure…?

NEW: A government employee for Notify. gov, a system used by agencies to send mass texts to the public, has resigned in protest after an Elon Musk ally demanded root access to it. They said the system contains the public's phone numbers & private info: www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier. Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

My senator @wyden.senate.gov held a town hall. It’s not getting very good reviews. We either need new party leadership and a plan of action NOW (not in two years)… or we need a new party to serve as opposition. None of this can wait. #americaunderattack #democraticreform #dnc #senate #townhall

Seriously, now. This is not the thing with which to screw — and they be screwin’. #nuclear #environmentaldisaster #greenenergy #hanford #trump #federalspending #radioactive #doge #stupid

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

We know what sort of #legislativebranch of government we can look forward to for the next four years. Time to find out if the #judiciary has lost its spine, too. #americaunderattack #oligarchy #justice #corruption #ericadams #bove #justicedepartment
