Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

This truly breaks my 💔 Thank you @joyannreid.bsky.social, I’ll be watching for what’s next. 🙏🏽

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Quite the difference in the crowd reaction during the U.S. and Canadian national anthems during the 4 Nations Face-Off tonight

The only ex I’m missing today is my ex-President. I miss you, Joe.

Trump & Musk are trying to fire 100,000+ civil servants right now - including over 1,000 VA employees. Purges are happening at SBA, Energy, Education & more. Firing this many critical employees at once could make it impossible for our government to provide BASIC services.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS A DAY. There's your government efficiency. 🖕🖕🖕🖕 www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

I am proud of all the people who DIDN'T understand Kendrick's performance taking the time to LEARN more about the cultural impact & significance. We see you. We thank you. We appreciate you.

Learned a new phrase today that helped me understand both why #MAGA weirdos are so #angry and why it seems like there are more ring-wing zealots than ever (even though there aren't), while also giving me more conviction in the progressive direction.

"The Administration would be allowed to rescind the agreement, or the government could stop paying, and employees who took the resignation package would waive all legal claims...

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority. He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans. Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

“the applause grew louder and louder until hundreds were standing and clapping: the crowd, the choir, the bishops, all on their feet..." www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

Eliminating USAID has nothing to do with government efficiency and everything to do with more tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy.

Schoolhouse Rock is going to have to remake its cartoon on how a bill becomes a law.

To the many conservatives acting “shocked” today over Trump’s price raising tariffs: Kamala told you so!

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us. I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

THIS.

Usually teach Lord of the Flies at the end of the year but decided to move it up to February because, yeah, I dunno, felt like a good time to explore fascism and masculinity as brutality.

America’s always been this racist—since the first white dude stepped ashore. For a while, they used their “inside racist voices,” and maybe you forgot. But racism has been here since day one, baked into the foundation. It’s not new, just louder again.

Spent this dark day with this sweet guy 💙💙💙
