Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.

They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This country is in the midst of a fucking shitstorm.

And if you don't like those words or are for some reason too scared to repost this, then you're just not ready to do battle with Trump, MAGA and Musk.

We're taking this battle to the streets.

Even after being threatened by Trump and racially harassed by the MAGA movement, Mexico has sent humanitarian aid and firefighters who are risking their lives to save U.S. civilians and homes during the LA fires.

Hear hear!

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but Hitler was wildly popular at one time. To me it shows that popularity can sometimes mean nothing more than a gauge of how many people have fallen victim to propaganda.

We have a severe case of disinfo in this country.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:

Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984

Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.

Barron was born in March 2006

Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.

Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Bidenomics at work! The U.S. economy has created jobs every single month President Biden and Vice President Harris have been in office.
