A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Pete Doocy coming up with a better one-line talking point for Democrats than 90% of Democrats. You don’t have to always speak in run-on paragraphs to try and fail to make your point. Voters remember lines like this, they don’t remember verbal policy essays.

Brazen corruption. 💰

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Elon Musk blew up another rocket using your tax money, it was recently reported that his failed experiments and falling satellites are causing severe damage to our ozone layer, risking the entire planet. #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy

1 Al Green is worth 100 Hakeem Jeffries, 1000 Chuck Schumers

Wyden on why he's not attending Trump's speech tomorrow and instead is hosting a town hall: "We're not interested in hearing about the Donald Trump alternate reality."

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

📌If Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer were coaches for some sports team, they would have been fired by now…
This has to be the meekest, non-response to a daily ass-kicking I have ever seen.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

This Is the Way to Stop Elon Musk Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

67 fake bomb threats on Election Day 2024.

Almost all of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — which had lower turnout than in 2020.

Many of the threats were clearly traced to Russia.

And the mainstream media and establishment have somehow COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

🚨🚨🚨White House bars AP from press event because it will not bend its editorial standards to his will. www.ap.org/the-definiti...

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.”

— Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.

The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.

At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.

Nothing should be "business as usual."

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Congrats to Meidas Touch for beating Fox in audience ratings. Talk about a light in the darkness!

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:

Congress must immediately act.

That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk:
Blunt Rochester
Booker
Cantwell
Coons
Fetterman
Gallego
Gillibrand
Hassan
Hickenlooper
Kaine
Kelly
King (Independent)
Peters
Shaheen
Slotkin
Warner

This is a national emergency:

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

grandpa keeps forgetting he's the government
