Tout this widely. The biggest danger right now is, as @dandrezner.bsky.social said yesterday, pluralistic ignorance, when “people who hold a majority opinion are unaware that it is a majority opinion”. We need to broadcast all the signs that the town halls etc are not a fluke.

King grills Gabbard about why climate change wasn't included in the threat assessment for the first time in more than a decade

Every night @maddow.msnbc.com has a first segment that runs through protests and town halls held in last 24 hrs and if you are feeling like nobody is feeling like you feel or you don’t know what to do: start by watching these and then find your people in your area. They are everywhere.

ICYMI — Trump’s social security commissioner sounds the alarm about SS being in peril from DOGE, and again says millions of dead people are not getting checks despite what Trump & Musk have said. www.propublica.org/article/reco...

As an American citizen, I apologize to the free world and our long term allies for the embarrassing behavior of the current administration.

The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.

Every president of both parties going back generations subscribed to the principle that a president doesn't pick the press corps that is allowed in the room to ask him questions. Trump has just declared that he will.

Eugene Daniels representing the White House Correspondents' Association: "In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps."

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Public trust in government is critical.

Having unelected billionaires fire public servants to pad their own profits destroys that trust.

Can someone hack the Dept of Education and pay the teachers?

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

Full text: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s ‘State of the State’ address Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker delivered his annual State of the State address in Springfield Wednesday, warning of challenges ahead and presenting his budget proposal for the new fiscal year.

This should be an inspiration to all American Governors.

I give you @jbpritzker.bsky.social's State of the State speech for 2025.

It's worth a read.

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention

with the presidential seal behind him, Trump does a promo for his properties in Florida

Everything is stupid. And other musings from our dystopian hellscape…

And listen up you dickless bags of hair, because this Gulf of America bullshit is so stupid it makes flat-earthers look like goddamn Nobel Prize winners.

Senator Murphy says Trump and his allies are now operating above the law (as Trump himself tweeted this week)

The truth does not matter to him.
