Remember these words… “I will vote for you if you are brave…”

Republicans hate the troops

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you. Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded. All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

yep. and this is the basic problem with trump being psychologically incapable of perceiving a positive sum relationship. everything is a dominance game for him.

Trump has been president for 6 weeks.

Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.

Let me say @fahrenthold.bsky.social is a national treasure. Also he can do math. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/u...

That flag hangs in a Ukrainian brigade’s r&r house near the front in Kharkiv region, where I was visiting some infantrymen in September. I was proud to see it.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Respect to President Zelens’kyi for going on Fox and saying sensible things at a time when that is rare.

Will one single member of the administration, at any level, resign after today? Will one single elected Republican criticize Trump?

What a joke this country has become. Far right Trump flatterers cosplaying as journalists in the Oval Office. Rubio sitting there rightly looking embarrassed.

Susan Collins must be so concerned right now…

Good god Republicans - it’s not worth it. Your country, your ethics, your self-respect, your soul - selling all of them for what? To keep your job? So no one yells at you? Why?

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

It's like a Russian nesting doll of illegality: Musk holds no office running DOGE, DOGE has no lawful authority to direct OPM, and OPM has no legal power to insert itself in the chain of command from agency heads to their employees.

It’s remarkable how much weakness this conveys on the part of Vance and Trump. It’s classic bully weakness: Vance: [Dumps on Ukraine] Zelenskyy: [pushes back] Vance: [pikachu face] HOW DISRESPECTFUL Pathetically weak.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

I really don’t know how a Russian plant in the White House would act differently.

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

This is insane. No one exaggerated: these folks present an existential threat to the Republic

Every reporter in Washington should be asking every elected GOP politician incessantly if they back this administration’s stance on Ukraine. Looking at you Lindsey Graham…

Disgusting. Immoral. Betrayal. Traitorous. Trump and his fascist henchmen planned to humiliate Zelenskyy. They humiliated themselves and our nation. Trump serves Putin, not the United States. He is the enemy of democracy. Will our institutional press cover fascism now?

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?

Opt out tomorrow!

there really ought to be more discussion about the fact that virtually every promise (or denial) trump made during the campaign was a total lie

Republicans are about to explode the debt by $4 trillion but good news, we saved a few dollars on some unused Microsoft 365 licenses 👍

OK honest question what is the root of this? Is this just how you think on drugs?

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

This is indeed brilliant

If any federal employees care to save time responding to today’s #5bullets email: 1. Experienced joy 2. Felt pity for the miserable, soulless, empty-vessel fucks who can’t experience joy 3. Was loved honestly and deeply by many people 4. Egged a Cybertruck 5. Wasn’t a saucer-pupil racist weirdo

Wise man…
