I’m in California, but whenever I feel overwhelmed by the daily dismantling of our norms
and rights, I tune in to Congresswoman Crockett because she calls out the b.s.
and gives me hope. My Rep. in CA06 says little because our district is purple (sigh) and is adjacent to MAGA nut job Kevin Kiley’s.
60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law.

Now, we have an administration conducting voter suppression in real time. In Texas, Republicans are trying to gut our democracy by redrawing maps to erase 5 Democratic seats—before a single vote is cast.

Let’s be clear with what’s happening in TX! Stop the steal! This is just bad and is a repeat to what the republicans did in North Carolina. We can not allow this to happen again! #messwithtexas It’s why the BBB passed! Think about that! This impact all of us!
Texas rep speaks out - well worth listening to this!

Hey, @bera.house.gov this is how it’s done. This guy also chose not to censure Al Green. Just sayin’
DEMOCRATS 📢 The base is growing because we’re pissed off. People who were never engaged before are showing up. If you’re not listening, you’re missing the moment.

1️⃣ Get out of DC. Your constituents have stories—hear them

2️⃣ Tell their stories—loudly

@repsuhas.bsky.social gets it. Follow his lead.

One of Johnson’s tells is when his voice starts to lilt as he’s about to tell a lie that he knows reasonable, non-brainwashed people can see right through.
HARF: What do you say to people who work for the VA who can't man the suicide hotline now bc they've been fired?

JOHNSON: Look, in Elon's defense, there's no playbook for what he's doing. So as he acknowledged, there are gonna be some mishaps & mistakes. But we will do course correction immediately

@bera.house.gov What are you going to do to help the Ukrainians in your district? I know you were busy censuring Al Green for having a spine, but your constituents need you.

And it’d sure be great if someone would actually answer the phone in your local office. 😡

How many more fucking deadly mistakes will have to happen before this asshole gets sacked
on his ass?????

These aren’t accidents. They’re preventable fuckups
that anyone with common sense and a brain cell could see shouldn’t be chainsawn into a bloody heap of wrongful termination.
DOGE has made several potentially deadly “mistakes,” and yet another was mentioned at Trump’s first cabinet meeting today.

Elon Musk attended and essentially ran the meeting, admitting that his Department of Government Efficiency “accidentally” canceled Ebola prevention funding —…

Remember in the first regime
we logged on to the bird app to find out what fresh hell transpired?

Now, fed wrkrs not only wake up to find that out, but now
checking work email is a gut wrenching ordeal of dread. Fired? No income? No healthcare? Over 50? The sense of impending doom is real.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does.

Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does:

Hmmm

If you buy your leader's shoes,
And cheapass Chinese bibles
If you speak in yells and boos,
And denegrare your rivals.
If you wear a bright red cap,
And never hesitate,
Then you are in a cult, my friend,
And truth can't penetrate.

This president cannot stop congressionally vetted and appropriated funding from getting to its intended beneficiaries.

Why do people just stand by and watch this go forward? WTAF?!

But he can send military planes full of migrants to pull publicity stunts at 8x the cost of a commercial transport?
