His feigned ignorance is disturbing. He definitely needs to be removed.

Access to the internet is essential, not a luxury. It's crucial for jobs, education, healthcare, and housing. The absence of affordable broadband in many communities is not just a "tech gap," but a critical civil rights matter. #DigitalDivide #CivilRights #TruthBombTuesday

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Average electricity cost increase since Jan:

Missouri ⬆️ 37%
Iowa ⬆️ 30%
North Dakota ⬆️ 30%
Oklahoma ⬆️ 30%
New Jersey ⬆️ 27%
Nebraska ⬆️ 25%
Montana ⬆️ 25%

Instead of working to lower costs, Trump is boosting power-hungry AI data centers.

@banditelli.org on a recent trek I saw this nest off Pozo Rd, in the middle of nowhere. The opening was 3-4 feet wide and a few hundred feet in the air on the side of a cliff. Any ideas what might live there? Some type of Owl? I'd like to hear the #birds community chirp in. @daryllmarie.bsky.social

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:

-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

Paying taxes to provide for public goods, many of which you may never personally use, is the price of admission for living in a society.

When parents get rightfully upset about Turning Point USA bringing clubs into high schools across the country, it’s because the people that were caught in that young Republicans chat are the same people who will join a TP USA chapter in high school.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.
