As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

Pure 🔥🔥🔥from Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich. Republicans passed this knowing people will die. They know people will lose their health care. They know children will go hungry. They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

🚨🚨 Republicans just voted to close rural hospitals, cut health insurance for millions, and slash food assistance for Veterans. All to pay for a tax break for billionaires. We will never let them forget this. We will ABSOLUTELY hold them accountable.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.
Wall Street Journal headline: “Trump’s Budget Hawk Takes Over the DOGE Agenda. First Up: The Military,” with a photo of Russ Vought. Highlighted text discusses Vought pushing for Trump to use “impoundment” powers to block Congress-approved spending.

I agree with Speaker Johnson. No one should wonder whether a lawmaker is advancing their own financial interest or the public interest. It makes no sense for lawmakers to own individual stocks. Just ban it. Members of Congress shouldn't even have the appearance of conflicts.

I've been thinking this for some time too, @sifill.bsky.social. sherrilyn.substack.com/p/democracy-...
I have come to wonder whether these expressions of despair and surrender are really masking an irrational longing for a magical way out of this nightmare. A hope that some deus ex machina will swoop down and spare us what we are facing. But this moment we find ourselves in is the result of the reckless voting of our fellow Americans in 2024, the failures of our media over decades, the critical political mistakes of our leaders, the short-sighted greed of the corporate community, and the longstanding lack of urgency about repairing the gaping cracks in our democratic infrastructure over far too many years. There is no magical way out.We are reaping what has been sown by many, many years of inattention to the eroding foundations of our democracy and we must face it.

To overcome or even slow the momentum of the forces arrayed against us will require our resolve, and an ecosystem of resistance – litigation, activism, organizing, direct action, communications, political pressure, and our voices raised to speak truth to power. We may not be able to score a knock-out punch, but we can score a series of technical knockouts against our opponents to reduce the intensity of their efforts. This will take all of us, committing to do what we can.

Everyone should be pointing out what is happening at CFPB. There is zero argument to be made here that this is being done to provide taxpayer value. The agency's budget is minuscule, averaging like $600 million/year, yet it has obtained $20 billion in payments from corporations to Americans

This is good, but I don't think this gets Musk-Trump rel "Musk is doing what he became unbelievably wealthy doing: stealing other people's ideas and passing them off as his own. In this case, he's swiping Trump's strategy of using Twitter mobbing tactics to work around the bureaucratic obstacles."

This is consistent with what I've been saying about Trump and Musk: they don't accept our system of government, they're malignant narcissists, and they aren't going to accept checks on their power. Ever. Rather, their countless cowardly enablers in the GOP will try to give them more and more power.
