Trump just said "I don't know" when he was asked on Meet the Press if he's required to uphold the Constitution.

every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials.

if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc.

They did something.
Reward them.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

Tesla named 'The Deadliest Car Brand in America', NHTSA data shows Will you be surprised? Here’s a hint: It’s an American automaker.

Fantastic. Money is all these types of men understand. Spend money elsewhere. Support ethical people & businesses. Owners who are unlucky enough to have one of these cars are also selling. After all they have been confirmed as the most dangerous cars on the road. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ βš–οΈ www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Tactical Strategy for Dummies to Save America (Because Pointing at the Fire Won’t Put It Out)

Step 1: Stop Saying "Nothing Can Be Done"

If Elon Musk and Donald Trump were truly β€œuntouchable,” they wouldn’t spend billions manipulating laws, stacking courts, and silencing opposition.

We just got to make sure every voter in Maine knows next year that her act of pretending to be a β€œmoderate” independent of Trump and MAGA is a fraud. I intend to do everything in my power to facilitate that, and these kind of posts are extremely helpful.

Holding The Senate Floor To Fight Trump’s Nomination Of Russell Vought
YouTube video by Senator Chuck Schumer Holding The Senate Floor To Fight Trump’s Nomination Of Russell Vought

We're holding the Senate floor all night to fight back against Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought.

America saw how bad OMB’s illegal, incompetent funding freeze was.

We want Americans to hear EVERY HOUR how bad the dangers are that he poses to their daily lives as OMB head.

Every single Senate Democrat will vote against Russell Vought, the Trump nominee for OMB and chief architect of the ultra-right Project 2025.

We are holding the floor of the United States Senate overnight to expose how Project 2025 is the Trump White House agenda.

Virginia community health centers close over federal funding access Despite pause on federal funding freeze, centers unable to access grants

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cut off funding for half of the health centers that serve 400,000 Virginians, forcing some to close, which could mean up to 200,000 Virginians are suddenly without healthcare

I think there are a bunch of people who think telling people how to say things is activism. We have to not be so damned precious about the exact words and just start loudly agreeing with each other. Yes - and. Less theatre criticism, more movement building,
