A giant banner of Trump is now ominously hanging at the front of the Dept. of Agriculture. It's not the kind of thing American presidents do. It's more in line with what you typically see in places like North Korea -- and it's the latest sign that America might be sliding into autocracy. #Velshi
The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans.
You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption.
Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.
Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.
Sheesh.
Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music.

More boned than owned.
This is where we are now.
It gets worse.
This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.
But her emails…
This seems like the exact right interpretation.
He's a disgrace.

Dems across the board feel beaten down. Polling supports that conclusion. I know I feel that way. I’m not sure how we all rally. wapo.st/3WT7ata
Truth.
Not that it’s a conflict of interest or anything but maybe Musk and Trump wanted to shut down USAID and called it a criminal organization because it was investigating Musk’s StarLink due to issues in Ukraine and the fact that StarLink tech wound up in Russian drones. www.newsweek.com/usaid-elon-m...
Looks like the NRA somehow forgot to rise up against a tyrannical government that is operating outside the law.
What a shame.
The thing is, acronyms blunt what’s actually being said.
Let’s hand all the support the global community needs to China and Russia. That seems like a good plan. Can’t imagine that shuttering USAID has anything to do with them investigating StarLink in the Ukraine. Nah, couldn’t possibly be.
Love is love.
Felon47 just fired the National Archivist without cause.
Follow the money. And follow the reporting.
He’s such a worthless PoS. He’s suing companies for not advertising on his racist platform. www.npr.org/2025/02/01/n...
Again, saying the silent part out loud.
“I’m supposed to say she’s going to be totally impartial… I’m not sure if there’s a possibility of totally.” 😡🤬

The HHS website covering HIPAA and reproductive health information has been taken down. 🤰
That’s nice but the ABA has an overview of HIPAA rules around reproductive health data.
HIPAA remains the law of the land. Laws are set by Congress, not whiny incels.
Seen on IG today. Don’t be silent! Do your best to shout and be heard!
This.
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
Everything is awful, what can we do?! THREAD
