Texas is the next battleground in the Republican war on democracy, and their gerrymandering scheme could have far-reaching consequences for the House majority. Share if you agree with Gov. Newsom that we need to fight fire with fire. #MessWithTexas

Federal law empowers the GAO to sue the President when he unconstitutionally steals Congress's power of the purse. So of course DOGE is going after GAO just as Trump 2.0 is gearing up to unconstitutionally steal Congress's power of the purse.

Breaking news: DOGE is now targeting the Government Accountability Office, a congressional agency. GAO is fighting back: "We are not subject to DOGE or executive orders." @notusreports.bsky.social obtained the email detailing what's happening, sent just an hour ago. www.notus.org/congress/dog...

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

This is America, 2025 In one weekend (!!), one New York Times photographer, Doug Mills, travels from Gitmo to the Super Bowl to take two unforgettable images of where we're at as a nation

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

@schumer.senate.gov you listening?

Well-off liberals still, to this day, think that you can get rid of fascism with ridicule, clever takes, and refusing to pay attention to them. But those are rules for the boogeyman, not for real monsters. With real monsters, the only way to handle them is head on. Or head off, as it were.

You are up to date.
