Yesterday's No Kings protest in Corvallis was amazing to behold! Thousands from our community stood together with millions, joined in similar protests across the nation. And we will keep showing up, speaking truth to power until power hears our truth and bends to the will of the people. #NoKings

Let me let you in on a little secret: The GOP is trying to sneak Trump’s policy wish list, aka his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” into law through a budget gimmick.

Folks, this is a scam.
The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.
Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

Resistance is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

Since bending the knee seems to be all the rage these days, @davidlitt.bsky.social, a junior speechwriter for President Obama, took a shot at drafting Trump’s big speech. Unfortunately, his team went in a different direction. Read the original proposal now.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Respect to President Zelens’kyi for going on Fox and saying sensible things at a time when that is rare.
Key points and statements from President Zelenskyy's interview to Fox News:
◾️Ukrainians want peace more than anyone.
◾️Ukrainians need peace through strength, with security guarantees, not just a ceasefire that Putin will violate like he already has done with numerous earlier ceasefires.
