Marchers near WI Capitol

Protest

Big crowd

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

I know it's illegal to speak well of Democratic comms people and pollsters and consultants and yada but this is exactly what public opinion data would say to do on a race like this

This campaign worked hard, listened, and took voters seriously

Wu spars with GOP representative who called her a ‘hypocrite’ and accused mayors of violating federal law. Follow live updates. - The Boston Globe In her opening statement to the committee, Wu repeated a core message — Boston “is your home” — in multiple languages, a nod to the city’s diversity.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu shows how to stand up to cynical political theater: assert your values without apology, speak up for the people in your care, call out the lies & the shameful politics of manufactured crisis for political gain. More of this pls www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/05/m...

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers.

Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

Trump admits that Putin partnered with him to “win” the 2016 election and they worked together to cover it up. It an admission of treason, on camera, for all the world to see.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

The American people did not vote to make Vladimir Putin our leader.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Yeah we know why

Another woman standing up and speaking out…

"Firing half the people who send monthly checks to a quarter of the population" seems like the easiest way to spend Christmas in Bucharest.

I hope at every public event Republicans are asked if they’re going to do anything about Elon Musk stealing the presidency from Donald Trump.

Excellent 🧵on all the upcoming opportunities to block the GOP budget

“OMG, Democrats finally did the right thing” is not something said by someone who’s a reliable ally or a reliable narrator.

Pete Hegseth on FOX NEWS with headline chyron that reads: Tracking Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine.

This you?

As well they (we) should

The twin threat of Trump & Putin has united an entire Continent.

🗣️82 percent of Americans believe the Republican Party is looking out for billionaires and CEOs rather than everyday Americans.

💵More than four in five also believe Republicans are looking out for big corporations (84 percent) and the wealthy (84 percent).

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

It’s almost comical. Almost.

This is an absolute scandal.

Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States.

As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

Getting my walking shoes ready to knock all the doors for Maine Dems next year ✊

Ken Jenkins is the "overwhelming winner" in the Westchester special. Trump pushed the disgraceful gutter level extremist Sculti. Dems answered back - and hard. Massive defeat for MAGA. This is where it begins, folks. This is the way.

Massive repudiation of Lawler, Trump and Musk in Westchester County tonight. The White House threw the kitchen sink at this race. Lawler staked his reputation. But MAGA got waxed by a surging Ken Jenkins and an organized Democratic base.

🚨Thread. HUGE win for Democrats in Westchester County NY last night despite Trump and MAGA going all in. Congrats to Ken Jenkins and Dems on the ground for organizing so effectively!

Some actual GOOD news
