Ex-gov employee with a scalpel to grind 🤷‍♂️

Josh Weil offers practical solutions for real problems. As a teacher, with 13 years of experience, he’s fighting for better schools for our children and smart climate action. He believes there are opportunities for immigration reform - without hate and divisiveness. Weil is right for Florida!

Surprise, surprise! There’s a scandal in the Trump admin, and he gaslights like a pro. Apparently this Signal chat blowup is another hoax or witch-hunt. But of course, how could it be anything else? 🤷‍♂️

"Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records..." www.propublica.org/article/elon...

How Elon Musk’s SpaceX Secretly Allows Investment From China

As a U.S. military contractor, SpaceX sees allowing Chinese ownership as fraught. But it will allow the investment if it comes through secrecy hubs like the Cayman Islands, court records say. “It is c...

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper. Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

THREAD: Trump just signed an EO about voter registration, but in 2023 the super-conservative Chief Judge Pryor in the 11th Circuit penned an opinion as to why Mark Meadows (and the president) have no role in supervising state elections, and therefore, cannot have his case moved to federal court. 1/

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer. And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public. The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence. They just got caught.

It’s looking like April 5th will be huge! Join us! So far, I’ve heard of three charter buses heading to Boston from the Northampton/Amherst region in Western Mass. Look up the particulars for #protests in your state here. Two weeks to plan! Let’s go!

Grifters be griftin’ Their ill-gotten gains A weak IRS Cannot repossess Grifters be thrivin’ The IRS ain’t survivin’ Let’s all hail the King 👑 Who wrought this great mess! [Trump & his entourage are some of the biggest grifters to ever walk this earth]

After mass firings, the IRS will be forced to close audits of wealthy taxpayers. Audits of rich individuals and corporations will soon be closed — without action — due to a lack of personnel to complete them. Millions upon millions in revenue will be lost. “All of a sudden, these cases…

100%. He should have never run for a 2nd term in the first place. He had promised to be a 1 term prez who would pass the baton to a younger Dem gen And the epic gaslighting by him & his team after the debate only helped to normalize Trump’s gaslighting A total disaster from every possible angle! 🤦‍♂️

"The only thing I honestly want to hear out of Joe Biden's mouth is, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry for not dropping out of the race earlier... I'm sorry that Merrick Garland wasn't quicker to hold Donald Trump accountable for January 6th and so many other crimes.'" @franifio.bsky.social

While Kamala’s run taught us not to get too carried away by crowd size, the large Bernie/AOC crowds r telling for 2 reasons 1) This is NOT an election year 2) They’re also getting big crowds in red districts [Obviously, the packed & heated R town-halls (& now lack thereof) are THE key indicator]

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

15k people came out to see AOC and Bernie in Arizona. I feel like 2024 taught us all not to let big rallies be leading indicators of electoral victory — but this is not an election and that is not nothing!

You 2 rock!!! I think there’s no going back to the Dem party or America as we knew it before Trump-Musk We either become an authoritarian oligarchy or we move to the broader social contract that most advanced countries have with their people. Let’s fight to make this second outcome a reality! 💪
