A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

DOGE isn't here to serve anyone other than Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

And it was never about "efficiency."

Just like the doge meme, the lives of hard-working families are a joke to them.

As I said at a celebration of Maryland’s role in the Underground Railroad at Emmarts United Methodist Church earlier this month, we won’t let any person or any president attack Black history or diminish the countless contributions of Black Americans.

I know there’s a phrase that perfectly describes what’s going on here but gosh darn it I’m blanking on it

Maybe we can crowdsource this. The best I can come up with is I think it may rhyme with or sound something like “anti-magnetic lyco-bath.”

Can anyone help?

Not at all a rogue ranger. There is a whole movement of park service employees surreptitiously keeping everyone up on what's going on behind the scenes. Alt National ParkService.

The media has to STOP giving trump credit for "taking questions" if he's not answering any of them truthfully.

Anyone can take a billion questions and answer them in the bullshit lying way he does with ZERO pushback.

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks.

Just sayin'.

There's really not a single rational explanation for what DOGE is doing to USAID than that fully recruited Russian (or Hungarian or Chinese) agents are deliberately destroying all goodwill US has around the world.

Hey Thousandaire...The Trump Musk DOGE MAGA Plan is going to transfer $4.7 trillion of wealth from you to millionaires and billionaires. Also services federal workers provide will be cut, so either we'll pay out of pocket now or just be sh*t out of luck. #reeciecolbertshow

This President has orchestrated a callous witch hunt against our patriotic civil servants.

In his attacks on them, he is attacking the people they serve – the American people.

#TeamMaryland is continuing to do everything in our power to push back against this Administration.

The President has decided to hold $330 million hostage from Maryland's Department of Transportation.

To be clear, this is money that has *already* been appropriated by Congress.

I asked transportation officials today if this was normal.

WATCH ⬇️(it’s not normal)

Republicans in Congress are voting to take away your Medicaid & SNAP benefits while Donald Trump is selling merch in the Oval Office/QVC from hell.

Republicans aren’t good with money.
They’re just good at taking yours.

All but one House Republican sold out their constituents and voted to start the process of pilfering $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for MASSIVE tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

Every Democrat voted No!
