How many times has Trump called into Fox and Friends over the years? Hundreds? It would be so easy for him to pick up the phone and call in now, just to prove he’s alive. The fact that he’s not going into his favorite safe spaces is a major flag #whereistrump
Where’s Trump? Why aren’t you reporting on his health? What is being hidden from the public?
Hey @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com, now would be a good time for wall-to-wall stories about Trump’s health and inquiries into what his handlers are hiding from the public. You just flexed those muscles last year so let’s see them again now.
Maybe we need to deploy the National Guard to our schools. It’s clear the GOP will not do anything to actually address gun violence.
So, has Pritzker ensured that he has constitutional loyalists leading the national guard, who are prepared and willing to refuse an order to federalize? Like, every Dem Governor needs to purge their national guard leadership of anyone they aren't confident would refuse an order to federalize.
I’m trying to work like all of this is normal and I’m finding it hard to focus because the economy is being sabotaged and our democracy is being destroyed 😩
THANK YOU CORY BOOKER FOR THE SHOT IN THE ARM WE ALL SO DESPERATELY NEED. LET’S GO!
Thank you for clarifying. I don’t have Twitter so I didn’t check.
As a Navy veteran who also happens to be a black woman, my heart is breaking for our military today 💔 Gen Brown and ADM Franchetti are true servant leaders who are being dishonored by bigots
I’m sorry, who is subsidizing whom?? Elon Musk is the welfare queen that the right has demonized for decades. He is so corrupt and is wrecking our government to keep funneling *our* tax dollars to his companies

Charlie and Murphy 💗 both across the rainbow bridge now 🫶🏽🌈
Thanks! Honored to be included 🙏🏽💙
I know there’s so much chaos happening, but can we take a moment to appreciate this near perfect Orangetheory output from my workout yesterday? 💪🏽
To everyone who wants to know what they can do to save our democracy - you have to participate. At Greater Than, we don’t miss any elections! We organize all year, every year 💙
We’re all going to die.
They’re not US voters. This post was specifically about the US election.
But more importantly, China and other competitors are out there investing in development. When we aren’t present, other actors fill the void. Extremist groups fund schools and indoctrinate children. People are exploited. It’s very important to our safety that the US be seen as a force for good.
They think the only way for the US to demonstrate power is through the military. Even though we know the military is bad at nation building. The military begs for more funding for the State Dept and USAID. The Army Corps of Engineers even funds some USAID projects.
But I feel like people on the right think of USAID as charity and can’t make the leap from investing in development to US soft power and influence. They think it’s lame hippie shit when the Peace Corps does more capitalism building than private companies.
I’ve heard that much of his antipathy is because USAID was used to fight against apartheid in South Africa. So he’s butthurt about that. Because he’s a disgusting racist
Keep focus on what's actually happening, not distractions. Folks in the CIA getting laid off, told to return to US. Keep up the pressure on Congress. No legislative, confirmation hearings.Full stop. Https://youtu.be/OIHJub72vuM?feature=shared #DemocracyNotDictaorship #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy

Followed. And please check out my post about OMB and USAID bsky.app/profile/meli...
Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on XItter, to Elon: "we aren't taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story--the billionaires seizing government to steal from real people" 👏🇺🇸👏🇺🇸👏
When will you have another podcast?!
I’m trying not to be a conspiracy theorist but after what Elon and his goons have been doing this week, can we please figure out where these guys were in October and what they were doing? I have no faith in this election
After seeing what Elon and his band of incels have been up to this week, I’m more convinced than ever that they tampered with the election. Someone please check on what these guys were doing in October and November
I hope all those “protest voters” are happy with the worst possible outcome and absolutely no voice in the government.
All of the people who said Harris wasn’t doing enough for Palestinians, I hope you’re happy now
Hilarious snark from the administrative judge at the EEOC
Can I also recommend this book? I picked up a copy at @bearpondbooks.bsky.social in Montpelier. It’s depressing but important to understanding our current moment
I’m so proud to be from Vermont! Thank you @balint.house.gov 💙
Vermont would also like to be considered!
They are coming for the children now
I won’t be giving any more money until I see Elizabeth Warren and AOC kicking Elon Musk down a flight of stairs! Get out there and fight, Dems
Followed! Glad we are finally getting energized to fight back!
US foreign aid is not wasted money. It is good will and engagement with people from around the world. And when we are not there, we lose leverage with those countries. Our absence is also an opportunity for countries like China and Iran, especially when it comes to economic and education aid. /end
Overwhelmingly the countries said no. It was more valuable to them to have access to US programs on health, development, education, etc, than it was to keep Snowden. USAID ended its programs in Russia in 2012. It’s not a coincidence Snowden is there. /3
He was looking for countries that would take him in. I was asked to pull the foreign aid spending and programs for each country and provide that list to the president. He spoke with all of those leaders and said “is keeping Snowden worth $X hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars?” /2
I used to work at OMB in the International Affairs Branch. The USAID budget was part of my responsibility. So let me tell you a little story about the power of foreign aid. Remember when a guy named Edward Snowden leaked classified information and then fled the US? 1/
It was never about economic anxiety, it was about hurting the people they don’t like
What is the case for suing Musk? Let’s get that ball rolling asap! Someone needs to have him in court 24/7
Trump is literally destroying our government and economy. And why does Musk get any say in this? He’s not elected and he’s not a government official. He’s a private citizen
I hope they bring the US Marshalls or something with them when they go
@schatz.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov Please raise hell over this! Bring the Senate to a halt!
We must call our representatives and demand they speak out! This cannot be accepted as normal!
I would love if @dahlialithwick.bsky.social, @stevevladeck.bsky.social, and @strictscrutiny.bsky.social could weigh in on moves like this. Please help us understand where the key court cases are
I can only hope. I recently listened to @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on Amicus and I’m very nervous about the SCOTUS
History has shown that autocrats rise using legal means, capture institutions, and change the laws. This is an opportunity to bring union organizing to the captured SCOTUS and break federal employee unions. Please focus on this instead of DEI (and I say that as a DEI leader) thenewsglobe.net?p=8377
Followed!
Racism and bigotry is learned. Clearly he comes from a long line of bigots!
It’s Groundhog Day and I can’t believe we have four more year of this shit! We need to rise up and fight!
@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - listen to this! You need to fight. It’s 1995 any more. It’s not even 2015. This is existential!
Are you serious with this response? “Trump should…” It’s 2025, not 2017. You’d think that after the Hegseth confirmation, you’d realize this is an actual crisis. Get out there and do something! Act like you’re alive and like you have a back bone!
Happy Saturday all 💙
I shared this exact sentiment with my company’s leaders last week. If we claim to be a purpose-driven company that cares about people and the planet, now’s the time to walk the walk!
Time for Vermont to shine!
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth to all! Follow me for helpful advice on how you can keep DEI alive in your life and in your workplace, even if they try to ban it 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿🦾💙
It’s our turn now 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿💙
If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.
Absolutely devastating what just happened in DC. Praying for all those affected in the plane-crash. 🫶 This just goes to show why we cannot defund the FAA.
This is an attempt to intimidate and silence employees. They know that when people come together as allies, they are strong. Stay safe feds, but stay strong together 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿🦾
This is the Resistance 2.0 - women coming together across the country to invest in our state and local elections. It’s an amazing source of light in dark times 💙
Consumer confidence collapsed in January. People see that the incoming administration is incompetent and destabilizing. Buckle up, because this is as good as it’s going to be for at least 4 years www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...
Trump's strategy is to simply *be* the American carnage he thinks he sees in the world.
Sorry, but definitely not subscribing to Fox News to read the story
Please, be more public! It feels like Dems are just rolling over. Where is the fight? Why are any Dems voting for his nominees?
They’re not ringing alarm bells because that doesn’t work. We did that about the election and look what happened. People just have to see for themselves, and the rest of us will suffer for it.
Do republicans realize that if they repeal the 22nd amendment, it means the Obama can run again?
very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman
This is the kind of idiocy that happens when uneducated religious zealots try to make laws
Dear price of eggs Trump voters, Not only aren’t they any cheaper, there’s an actual shortage because of the raging Bird Flu we’re not getting any public information about because the food safety & public health agencies responsible for that shit have basically been shut down. Bravo.
PS - follow @greaterthanpac.bsky.social to see how we were committed to electing the future of the Democratic Party. We focus on building community and building a bench of progressive leaders
If one of these men win, they’d better be serious about making change in how the party operates. This article by @perrybaconjr.bsky.social should be required reading for all Ds who want to start winning again. I’m a DEI professional and I agree 💯 wapo.st/4hIatLZ
Dems can’t go to Black or Hispanic or Asian voters with the same leadership they’ve always had. I’m not knocking these candidates, and some have done great work, but seriously Dems, learn the lessons the electorate was telling you.
This is exactly the types of problems organizations have when they don’t invest in their future by investing in a broad future. This is exactly the reason why Dems lost ground with Black voters. Because where is the actual, long-standing commitment to this group of people that Dems rely on?
I’m sorry but how is it that the top contenders for the DNC Chair are white men? Where are the Black women? Why is the demographic that is the most reliably Democratic not represented in this race? abcnews.go.com/Politics/dem...
It’s not a department. It’s an office within the Executive Office of the President.
Please investigate Trump’s claims that Elon rigged the election! I’m not trying to be a crazy conspiracy theorist but he literally said it.
I had this exact same issue! I asked my family and they didn’t. Gross, but not unexpected at this point. Would love to know how widespread this was.
Thank you Becca! Proud to be represented by you!
Today is a terrible day for America. Instead of celebrating freedom and democracy, millions of people are in fear of the incoming administration. Greater Than will not let democracy end without a fight. We will be present in state and local elections. Every year, every state, every race. Join us
The hilarious thing is that I can hear the southern drawl in that misspelling.
You left out Christian Nationalist fascist. It’s going to be very bad. I recruit for the Naval Academy and I don’t know how to tell the parents that their children will be safe.
Pete Hegseth is like Donald Rumsfeld on booze and pills. If you think Abu Ghrain and Guantanamo were bad, just wait until this incompetent, posturing, christofascist takes charge…
Pete Hegseth is all of the worst things that republicans think DEI is. He is a completely mediocre to incompetent person but keeps getting opportunities because of his outward appearance
Pete Hegseth is the reason why we need DEI. The promotion of incompetent white men over qualified women and people of color happens literally every day and at every company. The real reason they’re afraid of clear and concise standards is because they know they don’t meet them 🤔
He doesn’t know anything, except being a yes man to Trump. I think that’s the point. If a black man or any woman performed like this at a confirmation hearing, Fox would be screaming about the dangers of DEI 24/7. Yet when faced with an incompetent white man - nothing but support. I’m sick
Fingers crossed for sure. We deserve to know the facts.
