Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Keep putting pressure on Congressmembers, Ds and Rs. They're all back in their districts the week of March 17. Call and email their offices to schedule your in-district meetings now.

Not sure we should take Tracy Flick’s word for it. Not that she would know if he was using the data or not. Why not have an independent team assuring us of that possibility if it is all so clean and locked down? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Trump has overplayed his tiny hand.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Trump posted 14 times about his Daytona 500 trip—but not once about the deadly flooding in multiple states.

Yikes. Even Fox is calling out the soaring prices under Trump.

Trump continues to increase prices dramatically for American consumers

PUBLIC HEALTH GOING PRIVATE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Who can afford it?

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

The kid was so racist that Trump fired him. But not too racist for the real president.

AVIAN FLU SPREAD FROM COW TO HUMAN TO CAT (But the CDC is not allowed to share these data with us) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Another MAGA J6 ‘Patriot’ to add to the list going back into jail.

Translation: What we said originally about our reasons for doing this was bullshit, we really wanted to dismantle a federal agency by fiat for ideological reasons.

Defund, defend, deport

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

We used to boycott South Africa for apartheid.

We just got to make sure every voter in Maine knows next year that her act of pretending to be a “moderate” independent of Trump and MAGA is a fraud. I intend to do everything in my power to facilitate that, and these kind of posts are extremely helpful.

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Like I said: Quiet coup www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

All The Best Character Witnesses www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Ouch. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just called Trump's new trade war "The Dumbest Trade War in History"

Leopard: I will eat your face Bank analysts: Our baseline assumes no face-eating Leopard: Chomp chomp chomp

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+.

Look, this is bad for democracy and all, no doubt. But I also can’t help but notice that NYT’s many years of pandering to Trump and shaping coverage in his favor failed to prevent them getting kicked out of the Pentagon press room.

Gutting the FBI is like waving a red flag at terrorists and other criminals.

Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care

Friday Night Massacre

Air traffic controllers have been emailed by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane crash.

People working for, or with, Elon Musk are reportedly taking over the inner workings of multiple government agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management and the Treasury Department. Read more here: tcrn.ch/4hjQvqR

Summary of Trump’s first two weeks: Trump has thrown the federal government into chaos thus endangering your services and benefits; he’s pardoned violent criminals; he’s announced tariffs that will raise your prices; and he’s done nothing to help you and your family.

“.. The @wsj.com is also showing that there is muscle left in the idea of newspaper editorials ..” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/trum...

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….

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

Fascist incompetency in 5 easy steps. 1) Trump freezes hiring of Air Traffic Controllers 2) Trump fires director of FAA. 3) Trump cuts $16 billion from transportation budget. 4) 1st US plane crash in 16 years occurs. 5) Trump: "I blame my predecessor!"

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

🚨🚨🚨

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

Kash Patel testified today that he didn’t know who Stew Peters was despite the fact that he was a guest on his show 8 times.
