"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

I don’t want to hear another word from the right whining about dangerous, incendiary, violence-inciting language from the left. Once again, here’s their dear leader, the most divisive person on the planet.👇
I’m married to Nathan (aka Colton Blew) so I may be biased or I may just think he’s freaking brilliant. As is the illustrious @andyostroy.bsky.social
Nice to see this pop up in my feed. Good times. #Bones
We are in deep deep shit my friends
If you’re not watching The Pitt — do it now. This is television at its best.
Wisconsin—ignore the polls & get your ass to the voting booth on Tuesday. Elon Musk is dumping millions to turn out a group that usually stays home—voters that the pollsters didn’t account for.
Don’t let the richest man on Earth buy your state to serve his own interests. Show up and shut him down.👀
Most astounding chyron ever…

5pm ET, hearing on Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act and the defiance of court order.
The public can listen by telephone. Let the number of callers show we are paying attention.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.
This this this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Deep down even the MAGAs know this is humiliating for America, and any who don't need do no more than imagine Obama hawking Subarus from the Rose Garden
I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
Check out our pal Andy Ostroy’s latest podcast. Nathan (a.k.a) Colton Blew is a call-in guest at the end. This is his 2nd outing. They're having fun! @andyostroy.bsky.social

Madness.
This x’s 1000
Everyone in this country should email #elon and tell them 5 things they did last week.
Pay attention. The release of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists was strategic. These folks are brown shirts. No doubt about it. Oh and @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a hero.

Spread this far and wide. Thankfully we have the Wayback Machine.
I needed this. It gives me hope. We can either bury our heads in the sand or stand up to these mad men. Which side of history do you want to be on? I know my answer.
A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds.
We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.
