The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

There is no "real America." People who live in cities are just as American as people who live in suburbs and just as American as people who live in rural communities and and just as American as people who live with no neighbors for miles.

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life.

Here's what that can look like:

Just join the other side already. As a Mainer you are not standing up for the people you represent - do better or just become a republican - you are voting with them all the time anyway.

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

Well, they lied. Obviously.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option.

Pete Hegseth should resign.

Mike Waltz should resign.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Image of a person holding a progress pride rainbow flag above their head, with a though bubble that says: What if we gave up complacency for Lent...and never picked it back up? 40 Days of speaking up, showing up, and fighting for justice-then making it a way of life.

From @onaucc.bsky.social:

What if, this Lent, instead of giving up coffee or sweets, we gave up complacency? What if we used these 40 days to speak up, show up, and fight for justice—and never stopped?

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen “I’ll see you in court!” Governor SHUTS DOWN Trump TO HIS FACE

Maine's Gov Janet Mills stands-up to TFG & tells him "we'll see you in court" .... (basically, "go fuck yourself") Bravo Gov Mills!!! We need MORE Janet Mills!!

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

Congratulations to Super Bowl LIX champion Kendrick Lamar

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

Hate has no home here.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
