The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

This is why I’m proud to be a union member! Thank you for standing up to the biggest bully in the world.

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

I believe that all his repeated accusations are projection. He believes the protestors are paid because that’s what he does. They bused people in for Jan 6, 2021, and the wife of a Supreme Court Justice helped pay for that.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

The absence of any public pushback from the Republican Party on a situation as insane as Trump is rapidly reaching on Greenland is itself a huge sign of how far gone the US already is.

I can definitely say that the images there from Washington, DC are not from this weekend. It rained all day Saturday and it’s winter now, there are no leaves on the trees. But yes, there were protests in DC and in areas nearby.

This is sickening.

Murphy: "We need to understand the choice we've made in this nation to subject our kids to daily exposure to violence is not just about what happens inside schools. For many kids in our violent urban neighborhoods, it's about trauma that's breaking their brains & causing them to be unable to learn"

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

“Who cares” is exactly what a king would say. Monarchs don’t need the consent of the governed. Presidents do.

This is good news. I, for one, did not want to see a replay of the February visit. European leadership is integral to securing safety and peace for Ukraine.

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature! Isn’t this why *he* likes tariffs? Now everything is a transaction!

I mourn this loss. It is significant. I keep hoping that a group of billionaires will crate a blind trust to keep the funding going for NPR & PBS. But losing CPB is greater damage than missing a great show - it’s losing safety and education.

In addition to the jobs lost, the U.S. will also miss out on being part of the energy economy of the future. We will not be part of innovating new energy solutions or developing new technologies for the 21st Century.

Horrible.

They want to privatize everything - you will have to pay for alerts, hurricane reports, everything.

To add to this—just 16% of the students accepted in UVa’s first post SFFA v Harvard and post legacy ban class were Pell eligible.

About 50% of Virginia’s K–12 students live in economically disadvantaged households

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

They do. They act and speak like people who hate our founding documents. I re-read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution tonight. We need to remember that the whole point of the American Experiment was to NOT be subject to the whims of a tyrant!!

Trump and DOGE Are Planning Deregulation at a Massive Scale The White House will soon move to rapidly repeal or freeze rules that affect health, food, workplace safety, transportation and more.

“Many people don’t realize how high the American quality of life is because of the competent & stable enforcement of regulations, &if that goes away a lot of lives are at risk,” said Steve Cicala… “This affects airplane safety, baby formula safety, the safety of meat, vegetables and packaged foods…”

Local news here in DC metro area barely covered it on Saturday night and made it look insignificant with what they omitted. Didn’t show that there were any speakers, didn’t do a wide shot of the crowd. Definitely downplayed it.

@booker.senate.gov Thank you for reminding me that one of the best ways to find your voice is to use it. Our country is threatened & sometimes I don’t know what to say first. Watching you, I thought, just start. And then keep going. What you did matters, to me and many others. 💙
