Josh Johnson is so good and I’m glad his audience is growing.

Comedians—Colbert, Rosie, Joy Behar, Trey and Matt—are being threatened because they are threatening to this inhumane regime.

I hope they keep banding together, doubling down, and speaking truth to power.

This is the tip of the iceberg. My wife works in stroke research - doesn't touch any of these areas - but her entire field is getting shuffled off to the side. And the pipeline for new researchers is getting squeezed shut. Safe to assume all US medical research is pausing for a long time

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Ma'am

1939…all over again.

Alina Habba tweeted ‘Nothing can ever stop this man from fighting for our country’! David Simon replied with ‘Bone spurs’.

This is next level! 💥

I’m not down with this!

These Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Al Green:

- Ami Bera (CA)
- Ed Case (HI)
- Jim Costa (CA)
- Laura Gillen (NY)
- Jim Himes (CT)
- Chrissy Houlahan (PA)
- Marcy Kaptur (OH)
- Jared Moskowitz (FL)
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA)
- Tom Suozzi (NY)

I’m on my way to the House Floor to vote no on the heartless House Republican Budget.

Here’s why.

“One day one”

The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

YouTube video by Rep. Jasmine Crockett Crockett Calls Out COWARD Musk

Last week, Elon Musk's staff illegally breached the U.S. Treasury payment system and gained access to millions of Americans' personal data.

We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee.

To me, it's simple.

I'm not going to vote for or expedite a single Trump nominee while this constitutional crisis persists and deepens.

That's just a component of real opposition, but it has to be the starting point.

No complicity. Fierce opposition.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Thank you #Costco for your commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Looks like business is booming.

A statement in a blue background from Congresswoman Sarah McBride, representing Delaware at-large. The text reads: "On day one of his presidency, Donald Trump pardoned unrepentant insurrectionists who violently beat a police officer’s face, tasered an officer to the point where he had a heart attack and beat an officer with a flagpole and stomped on his face. "The new Presidential administration did all of that while revoking policies that lowered the cost of prescription drugs, reducing health care coverage and access to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid, stripped union protections from federal workers, and froze funding for the vital bipartisan infrastructure bill that Congress passed last year. "I’ve heard from constituents across Delaware who are scared right now. Yes, federal workers and public servants scared of political retribution. I’ve heard from transgender constituents and their families who are fearful of forced outing. Dreamers, immigrants, and refugees are fearful being pushed to the shadows of our communities again. "This past week, President Trump has intimidated and instilled fear in the hearts of some of the most vulnerable in our state. Meanwhile, he and his billionaire friends have unveiled plans to pick the pockets of the American workers, fleece seniors by privatizing seniors and Medicare, undermine reproductive freedom, and line the pockets of major corporations." The text closes with the Congresswoman's signature.
