Pushback works

Exclusive: US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs.

Trump Republicanism in action.

Bring him back too!
In fact, bring them all back. No one should be shipped off to a foreign torture prison. Period. That’s not deportation, it’s human trafficking.

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Democrats hail major win as Susan Crawford delivers blow to Trump and Musk in Wisconsin – US politics live Liberal judge Susan Crawford wins race for seat on Wisconsin supreme court in litmus test for Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s popularity * Liberal Susan Crawford beats Musk-backed candidate Donald Trump’s planned tariffs will be negative across the world, with the damage depending on how far they go, how long they last and whether they lead to successful negotiations, the European Central Bank head, Christine Lagarde, said on Wednesday. The Trump administration on Wednesday is set to announce “reciprocal tariffs” targeting nations that have duties on US goods. That move would come after it slapped new import levies on products from Mexico, China and Canada – the top US trading partners – as well as on goods including steel and autos. Wisconsin beat the billionaire. Wisconsin cannot be bought. Our democracy is not for sale. And when we fight, we win. Congratulations, @CrawfordForWI Continue reading...

Democrats hail major win as Susan Crawford delivers blow to Trump and Musk in Wisconsin – US politics live

Elon Musk tried to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. He lost. Susan Crawford's victory means liberals will preserve their majority on the court.

"Because of Musk, the race was much bigger than just a judicial election in Wisconsin. Crawford’s victory provides a blueprint for how Democrats and progressives can run against Musk’s plan for oligarchy all across the country—and win." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rise up!

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Exclusive | Democratic Senator Says He Will Stall Trump Nominees Until USAID Is Back The move would require Senate Majority Leader John Thune to use precious floor time to advance the president’s nominees through the confirmation process.

BREAKING: Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz says he’ll place a “blanket hold” on all of Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running again.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

This is good

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

Leader Jeffries: God Gave Us Free Will -- Use It We have enough prayers. We need action.

"Mr. Leader, we are all deeply worried—if not terrified—and we are wondering why Democratic lawmakers on the whole seem anemic and woefully unprepared."

Cis women need to understand: the attack on trans women is an attack on all women. Imagine any other “group” of women having their rights stripped away, where’s that rage? Channel it into standing with our trans sisters. Women’s rights are all of our fight.

Donald Trump will be indoors for the inauguration with his billionaire pals. His core supporters will be left outside in the cold.

Think about that.

Biden declares the ERA the law of the land — but it may not matter The White House acknowledges the action won’t have the force of law.

The stories saying that the ERA, although duly ratified by 38 states as required by Article V, won’t become law until some functionary at the National Archives agrees to publish it, have no constitutional basis. I’ll be writing about this soon. Watch this space for a link.

Dear World,

We’re sorry.

Sincerely,

Sane, Decent Americans

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
