It's Americans vs. Anti-Americans Now It's no longer parties or ideologies, it's war between the millions of people who live here.

Everything Trump Orders Must be Challenged. Nothing good has ever come from him and nothing ever will. Action comes next.

The time for analyzing and agonizing is over. The next step is action. The only ones acting are Trump and his regime. Watching them won’t do it.

Women, We're in Danger Again. A Thousand "I Told You So's" Listen to the women. We've been there.

Up today:
We women are in grave trouble. Again. It won’t get past you that these pieces are all still relevant today, but I don’t share them so we can commiserate. No, I share them as ammunition.

Our War on Donald Trump, With Feeling Of course we feel it. Anyone with human feelings would. A call for submissions.

The thing we most try to avoid during the mad chaos that is the Trump regime takeover is the mention of our feelings. So many want to write about them but don't know where to start.
I have an idea. #Writing #Politics

Trump backer Timothy Mellon identified as donor of $130m for US troop pay during government shutdown Reclusive Republican donor is descendant of gilded aged industrialist and former treasury secretary Andrew Mellon

That $130 million dollar bail-out for the military payroll is peanuts. A hundred dollars per person, at best. No, it’s meant as both a now-standard monetary tribute to Donald Trump, as well as a signal that our military can and will be privatized.

Someday we're going to laugh at all of this.

Oh, wait... 😆😆😆

@Labor Day @Unions

Labor Day: A Celebration of Unions and How They Transformed American Labor. Voices from the past praise unions and their necessary presence. A shame that we've forgotten.

“The degree to which Russia has milked Trump’s grievances to destroy US capabilities against it is one of the reasons I view the 2016 operation as the most successful intelligence operation of recent history.”

Democrats Don't Sabotage Other Democrats When the Stakes are This High and the Enemy is That Low. The main problem is staring us in the face and the stink can't be ignored. It's going to take all of us working together--with the Democrats. No getting around it.

The truth is, we can't win against the Trump regime without the Democrats. Sabotage against them isn't the answer.

In Defense of Meghan and Harry. Yes, THAT Meghan and Harry. All that nitpicking feels like much ado about nothing. I can't for the life of me see bad people. They just seem...human.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Have You seen our rallies? Have you watched us March? Do we look broken? Ha!

All Democrats need to do is promote programs that actually help people. The people will respond. They not only will be grateful, they will trust and expect it from Democrats.

Democrats will be known as the party of the people. It's as simple as that.

The Authors Guild congratulates Dr. Carla Hayden on her appointment with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. After her shocking and unjustified dismissal—a firing we condemned—we're delighted that she has found a new platform from which to continue her vital work.

Voters respond to fighters (e.g., AOC, Pritzker, Booker) who do not hold back in attacking MAGA extremists. Prefer fresher voices expressing righteous anger rather than old fogies acting as if opposition is futile. Favor politicians who pledge dramatic change, not more of the same

What could be more thoughtful than a Honey Bee Mix of perennials, to be planted next spring?

@repsuhas.bsky.social thank you for fighting this Big Ugly Bill for you constituents and all Americans.

This bill will impact Medicare eventually.
