So much love for @dcmediagroup.bsky.social. Please give them a follow. Collab’ed with them for this report on the Thursday, Feb 13th Drag and Trans rights protest in front of the Kennedy Center.
The Drag and Trans community put on a street show of resistance in front of the Kennedy Center arts center in response to Trump’s Trans Community erasure policies and his takeover of the Kennedy Center Board.

BBC’s Steve Rosenberg reports from Russia that JD Vance’s speech at the Munich conference “has gone down well in Moscow.”

That alone should tell you everything you need to know about the speech and what the Trump administration really stands for.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23.

That’s where we come in.

With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

We're getting more calls now than at any time since I've been in Congress. I'm helping out on the phones, talking to constituents about what I'm doing to stand up for the country and federal workers under attack by Trump and Elon Musk.

I welcome your calls, I am listening, and your voice matters.

Putting an anti-vaxer in charge of America’s health as measles makes a comeback, shows we need a vaccine against a new virus - the virus of an anti-science
brain worm that so infects the wholeTrump attitude, from climate change to vaccinations.

Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Good morning! Busy with some local community defense, then will assess where things are.

I usually don’t push weekend calls but no matter if your reps are Democrat or Republican, wouldn’t hurt for them to come back on Monday to inboxes full of angry voicemails.
