Members of Congress going into the US Agency for International Development!

Meet the new acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

Congratulations to David Hogg for being elected the new Vice Chair of the DNC! Be sure to follow him: @davidhogg.bsky.social

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Perfectly captured.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

REPORTER: With the govt offering buyouts, are you not afraid more aviation incidents could happen with less staffing? LEAVITT: POTUS is intent on ensuring that we are increasing staffing . That's why he signed a very strong EO on his 2nd day immediately terminating DEI hiring practices at the FAA.

It seems that as one of Trump’s lead propagandists, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has already taken up one of his favorite tactics: making stuff up on the spot when backed into the corner.

Is this a threat to sitting U.S. Senators if they don’t confirm RFK Jr?

I am going to put together a thread covering RFK Jr's confirmation hearing for the HHS secretary job. Follow along for clips and commentary.

More food for his marks.

Trump press secretary insists Trump did “NOT” rescind their extremely unpopular Project 2025 funding freeze

Thousands were hospitalized and died

🚨BREAKING: Federal court BLOCKS Trump OMB order purporting to freeze federal spending. Stay will be in place until court can consider case at hearing next Monday. Follow @democracydocket.com for more. www.democracydocket.com

Over 130 drones attacked Russia last night, one of the largest since the invasion began. Key hits: the "Kremniy" factory near Bryansk, oil refineries & power plants in Ryazan. Explosions near Dyagilevo & Engels-2 airbases, but no confirmed damage yet. Russian MoD reports 120+ drones destroyed.

all of the centrist “abundance” types who fell for Trump and DOGE are the biggest rubes on earth and I say that as a liberal “abundance” supporter myself

get a load of Fox News "hard news" anchor Martha MacCallum cheerleading Stephen Miller's diet fascism at the end of this clip

How Republicans learned to stop worrying and love the mob:

NEW: In an unexpected move last night, the North Carolina Supreme Court dismissed GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin’s petition challenging over 60,000 ballots cast in his November 2024 race for a seat on the bench, which he lost to incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by over 700 votes.

Wooooooooooboyyyyyyy! Senator Jeff Merkley on Pete Hegseth: "What experience does Mr. Hegseth bring? He ran two little micro nonprofits, and he ran them into the ground." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Check out these peaceful protesters on the day of love!

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump. “I am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.” Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! 🦋

Way to go, Doug!

Trump’s previous efforts to discredit and demonize Fauci give the removal of his security detail a distinctly more sinister connotation.

Mexico should close the border to prevent America’s epidemic of stupid from spreading south.

Welp

Jessica: There is a story that there was $17 million cut from the fire budget and that is inaccurate. The budget had an extra $17 million because they bought one off expenses. Respiratory protection for firefighters. There’s an extra $50 million set aside for the fire department

Looks like MAGA is really mad at Justice Barrett for casting the swing vote to allow sentencing of Trump to proceed this morning. Good! Let the hate flow through you…

Suckers

Disgusting

We wanted to understand the economic rationale for buying Greenland. So we talked to three unvaccinated UFC fans at a Jersey Mike's in Toms River.

Remember the accusation that Harris was being fed questions by another network? Always projection with Trump.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget
