History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrectionβ€”so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians?

We’re not there yetβ€”but we’re closer than we think.

Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show in Major Shake-Up (Gift Article) Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. program will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to β€œdrain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Elon’s post on air safety and the FAA.

For those who have not been keeping score…

- One of SpaceX’s rockets has already blown up

- in less than a month, Elon has fired the head of the FAA as well as hundreds of FAA employees, and we have had multiple air disasters

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk.

Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly.

Top federal prosecutor in NY resigns after being told to drop Adams charges Danielle R. Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced her resignation in a two-sentence letter that does not reference the DOJ directive.

This is what integrity looks like.

Jeffries Works With N.Y. Democrats to Weaken G.O.P. Control of the House New York lawmakers may give Gov. Kathy Hochul more time to schedule special elections, a move backed by the House Democratic leader that could keep a key seat vacant for months.

Ron DeSantis pioneered this tactic by refusing to allow special elections for Democratic-leaning House seats with a vacancy, holding them open simply to hurt Democrats. I don't think Republicans really have any standing to complain about NY Dems copying the playbook. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/n...

As I discuss in my book, Attack from Within, authoritarians demonize anyone who checks their power. Trump is trying to villainize the honorable prosecutors and agents who enforced the law against his β€œStop the Steal” minions. Don’t fall for it!
