Entire Staff Is Fired at LIHEAP The move threatens to paralyze the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps to offset high utility bills for roughly 6.2 million people nationwide.

The Trump administration abruptly laid off the entire staff running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the U.S. pay their heating and cooling bills.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

Secretary Lutnick: You are a billionaire.

Maybe your mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her Social Security check, but tens of millions of seniors struggling to survive would.

They're not fraudsters. They earned it.

How out of touch are you not to realize that?

YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture Elon Musk says empathy is our problem

We all need to understand this about Musk: he says empathy is weakness. The man illegally ransacking our democracy and withholding The People's $$ from The People and calling us parasites is saying this.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

They Are a Minority Get your mind right.

ICE Prosecutor in Dallas Runs White Supremacist X Account The Observer has identified the operator of “GlomarResponder,” an overtly racist social media account, as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone

Call it a Day Of Transparency

BREAKING: Judge Beryl Howell has ruled that the FBI will have to release documents related to Trump's mishandling of classified documents in a FOIA case brought by Jason Leopold. From Kyle Cheney: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This is a great piece.

It's a coup.

I often talk about righteous fights. Make no mistake: we are in one.

This fight will be long. Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize us.

But when things get tough, there is only one option ahead of us: Nevertheless, we must persist.

🧵Part one:

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Opinion | Now Will We Believe What Is Happening Right Before Our Eyes? There can be no appeasement. None.

Many Americans chose not to believe what they were saying. Will we now believe what we are seeing? My latest for @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/o...

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit.

The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

U.S. government officials privately warn Musk’s blitz appears illegal The billionaire’s DOGE team has launched an all-out assault on federal agencies, triggering numerous legal objections.

“So many of these things are so wildly illegal that I think they’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once...”

Warren Questions Bessent Over Musk Access to Treasury Payment System In a letter to the Treasury secretary, the Democratic senator warned against meddling with a system that processes trillions of dollars of transactions.

Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter on Monday to the Treasury secretary demanding answers for why the Dept. of Government Efficiency was granted access to the federal payments system, giving Elon Musk's team a powerful tool that could be used to track and potentially limit government spending.

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

This is so good - @vermontgmg.bsky.social takes a stab at imagining how the US press would be covering overseas what's happening inside the U.S. right now:

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

I was one of those warning how bad it would be and how Trump 2 would be much worse than anyone complacently assumed.

But even I didn’t have ‘cancel all foreign aid, including to kids with HIV & malaria’ and also ‘let the world’s richest man get access to our private data’ on my 2025 bingo card.

How Trump makes tragedies worse, a history The president blaming DEI for a deadly plane crash is not the first time he's peddled conspiracy theories as the nation reels from a crisis.

Trump's baseless claims about the tragic plane collision in Washington, DC are not surprising—they are a pattern.

In the past, he also boosted false and disproven claims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a national pandemic, police brutality, and natural disasters. Here is the timeline:

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

How is this not the biggest scandal in America right now? Isn’t this unprecedented??
Maybe Dems in the Senate should take a break from voting to confirm Trump nominees & condemn the guy who said he wanted Pelosi ‘hanged’ on Jan 6th, & also condemn the guy who just released him from prison! Sheesh.

Republicans and Trump's nominees are pushing for Medicaid work requirements.
They think people are mooching off the system.

But 64% of people on Medicaid already have a job. Most others that don't have a valid reason.

It's a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.

A stark reminder of the power and discipline of rightwing messaging (propaganda) and the utter weakness and ineffectiveness of liberal messaging.

More Americans now believe Trump won a bigger popular vote margin in 2024 than Biden won in 2020 (he didn’t of course).

Wow

House Republican introduces long-shot measure to let Trump seek a third term The proposed amendment would let presidents who served non-consecutively seek a third term.
