If you've been hearing people tell you to call your senators & you keep putting it off - today is the day to do it anyway. Trumps agenda cannot pass.

They snuck in a castration of the courts ability to hold members of the executive branch in contempt. This is the LAST check on power that we have!

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

The media needs to call this what it is:

This is a techno-oligarchic hostile takeover of the federal machinery of the United States of America.

This is not governing. It is lawless. It is not based on principles of electoral representation.

This is a criminal takeover of the federal government.

“Every American can do something—show up, walk out, call, sign up, demonstrate engagement.”

The Musk-Trump axis thrives on chaos and intimidation, but resistance is growing. Thousands protested, DOJ lawyers resigned & NYC officials walked out. Jen Rubin explains.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party

thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest?

TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

Keep calling! Yesterday, Sen Murkowski (R-AK) noted the U.S. Senate phone system had around 1,600 calls/minute, in contrast to the 40/minute usually received.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
