Outside the Bucks County Justice Center in Doylestown today, hundreds of people gathered to protest the president on Presidents Day. Presidents need to defend the Constitution & enforce the laws of the land, not shred the Constitution & break every law.

They won it all!! Republicans have a full house, with majorities in Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. The Legislative branch can pass all the laws they want, the President can sign them into law, and the Supreme Court can uphold them. Why aren't they doing that?

Amen to this.
"Pressure is building for Democrats to embrace a more timely, cohesive and yes, more aggressive response to the Trump/ Musk incursion. The blue state Governors’ COVID briefings offer the perfect model."
Jennifer Schulze (@newsjennifer.bsky.social) calls for daily Dem counter-narrative briefings.
Democrats should fight back with an aggressive, fact-based counter narrative every single day.
They know how to do this, they’ve done it before. The daily COVID briefings by blue state Governors are the perfect roadmap.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

After years of cheering on Trump’s war against “government workers,” his own diehard supporters are now realizing that means them too.

Congress is considering a bill that would hold critical federal funds hostage unless states comply with Trump's agenda.

Tell your representatives to vote NO on this bill by texting SANCTUARY to 82623.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details

Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Musk has broken into the federal payment systems. This breaks all kinds of laws ... Call you Congress person and Senators!

The move by DOGE means it could have wide leeway to access important taxpayer data, among other things.

Real talk.
FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.

There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
