I’m a federal employee who was furloughed and just missed my second full paycheck. I have two young kids, so it’s tough.
It’s hard but DAMN worth it. Hold the line.
Capitulating now puts all that folks have sacrificed to this point in the trash bin.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Seconded! @markjacob.bsky.social, as always, is spot-on:
Trump’s “mental faculties are crumbling like blue cheese, and major media need to write prominent stories about this alarming problem – not just stick a sentence into the 14th paragraph of a news story.”

“Are you telling me we can spend $40B on Argentina, $1B on Trump’s Qatar jet, $250M on Trump’s ballroom, $150M on Trump’s golf, $520M on Trump's National Guard deployments & $172M on Kristi Noem’s jets - but we can’t spend a penny on lowering our healthcare

Today, Rep. LaMonica McIver fought back in court against Trump’s effort to imprison her for doing her job and conducting Congressional oversight of an ICE facility.
I stand with Rep. Iver against this mockery of our justice system. We will not be intimidated.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:
📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)
📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)
📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)
📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

We may never get the full story when our government is engaged in such concerted deception of its own citizens. Republicans won’t ask them. It is falling on Democrats to ask the questions that need asking.
