Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury.

Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting.

Musk has no idea what he’s doing.

He paid some kid to play video games for him, and now he’s paying some kids to cut government spending for him too.

Musk admitted today that he didn’t even know these kids are illegally cutting things like cancer research.

The guy is a fraud.

Yeah. Trump knew to do this the night of the Super Bowl.

Every healthcare worker, doctor, nurse, etc. working at a hospital (most are nonprofits) that has student debt is enrolled in this.

Cops, prosecutors, first responders are enrolled in this.

People wait a decade for this. Wow.

This.. is.. so.. important -

- Regardless of whether you’re in a red or blue state,
- Regardless of how good/bad your reps are;
- Regardless of how likely it is that they will or will not be swayed by their constituents.

The point is to show collective outrage and make unprecedented noise.
Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure.
Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump.

5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

You claim to be the party of “small government” but that is a lie. You want to control books, curriculum, teachers, children’s private parts, and every uterus in the state.

You can’t be the party of “small government” when your members act like tyrants.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Holy crap! An aide to Mike Johnson advised against House Republicans issuing a subpoena for Cassidy Hutchinson — a White House official who testified against Trump about Jan 6 — out of concern that doing so could expose “sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors” with her.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Bleak. Don't let this administration claim to be about law and order or reducing crime. They own this 100%.
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

Joined 326 bipartisan colleagues to pass HR 82 the #SocialSecurityFairnessAct and repeal WEP and GPO. This is a win for Ohio police, firefighters, teachers, and public workers. I look forward to swift Senate passage so we can send this bill to the President’s desk to be signed into law.
