A female staffer in Sen. THOM TILLIS's DC office told me it would be "logistically impossible" to hold town halls for all his constituents. When he was elected in 2014, he promised to “spend time going out and doing what I did when I became speaker – town hall meetings.”
That's funny.

His DC voicemail is full again.

We are planning a Tillis Town Hall for Monday March 17th! Time and location are still TBD, but mark your calendars! It will be in Greensboro somewhere!

RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a “historic final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Musk, Sunday, 3:31 p.m.: “One of the first things Hitler did upon gaining power was apply aggressive censorship.”

Musk, Sunday, 9:15 p.m.: “60 Minutes are the biggest liars in the world! They engaged in deliberate deception to interfere with the last election. They deserve a long prison sentence.”

Screenshot of NBC reporter describing interview with Jeffries in which he declines to commit to withholding Democratic votes in the upcoming fight with the House GOP over the budget.

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage.

If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead.

Stay tuned - more to come.

What's being done?? We are all out here screaming and calling our reps, but is it doing any good?

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Kansas faces one of the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in US history Kansas is currently facing one the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in U.S. history with 67 confirmed active cases and 79 confirmed latent cases.

What does it mean for the Trump administration to remove basic information on tuberculosis surveillance exactly when one of the largest tuberculosis outbreaks in US history is occurring in Kansas? abcnews.go.com/Health/kansa...

I LOVE AMERICA MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, AND, EXACTLY FOR THIS REASON, I INSIST ON THE RIGHT TO CRITICIZE HER PERPETUALLY. - JAMES BALDWIN

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

Trump crying “TRUE!!!” in response to post by Judicial Watch saying, GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.

Beware the Day One dictator.

This is not a mandate, sure he won the popular vote but it’s not a mandate.

classy stuff at the latest school board meeting in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota (the same town Pete Hegseth is from)

these people are more emboldened than ever to be their absolute worst selves

I just wanna let everyone know that it’s not up to DoJ/Smith/Garland to release grand jury stuff. That’s up to a judge. It IS up to Garland whether he releases a Special Counsel report if one is written. A report must be written at the conclusion of probe - meaning the cases would have to be closed.
