First Trump removes any reference of diversity from the present — now he’s trying to remove it from our history.

Let me be PERFECTLY clear— you cannot erase our past and you cannot stop us from fulfilling our future.

Democrats, you need to engage young men. Provide role models who exemplify the best traits of masculinity—don’t just tell them what’s wrong with them. Make policy decisions that help them and take a balanced approach to the challenges men and women face. #DemsListen #FutureOfTheParty

Still finishing Of Boys and Men. I’ve noticed that when discussing gender differences, we often highlight men’s negatives but celebrate women’s positives. We should uplift women—but we should also recognize and celebrate the positive traits of men. #GenderDiscourse #MensIssues #BalancedPerspective

Firing employees through a passive-aggressive email isn’t efficiency—it’s the move of a narcissistic sociopath. Leadership isn’t about power trips; it’s about accountability and respect. #ElonMusk #ToxicLeadership #AccountabilityMatters

Musk said that federal workers would receive an email asking them to report their weekly tasks, warning that "failure to respond will be taken as a resignation."

Democrats need to shift from protecting the status quo to championing real change. It’s time to focus on transforming things for the better, not just maintaining how things are. #Progress #ChangeForBetter

Kash Patel claimed he never promoted QAnon at his confirmation hearing. As the person who did the reporting on this, what Patel said is blatantly false. He has lauded Q, signed books with the QAnon slogan, promoted a Q Truth Social account, & even helped create the Flannel Friday trend in Q world.

Teddy Wilson @reportbywilson.bsky.social · Jan 30

Morning Briefing: Kash Patel denied that he is adherent of QAnon, said he should not be “guilty by association” for his association with figures such as Laura Loomer and Stew Peters, and refused to provide direct answers to multiple questions regarding Trump’s pardons of Capitol Riot defendants.

Both Democrats and Republicans harm proper discourse. Instead of representing constituents, many politicians focus on influencing and distracting them. There’s more allegiance to the Party than to the people they’re supposed to serve. #PoliticalReform #Accountability #TrueRepresentation

The orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General isn’t just illegal—it’s a direct attack on our democracy and puts the safety of every American at risk. This reckless move must be reversed, and my colleagues and I demand that he comply with the law, no excuses.

Rep. Gerry Connolly @handle.invalid · Jan 25

Donald Trump's brazen attempt to purge Inspectors General violates the law, attacks our democracy, and undermines the safety of the American people.

My fellow Ranking Members and I are demanding he reverse course and comply with the law.
