I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

It’s a race to be the biggest blowhard. This is the opposite of smart. The opposite of good. The opposite of effective. It’s sound and fury signifying the continued collapse of a proudly dumb and angry nation. These are children acting like children.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

WHY are we not seeing ads about Joni Ernst on YouTube and Hulu RIGHT NOW? Why aren’t Democratic leaders — that is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and Schumer, who control the House and Senate leadership PACs — spending money to attack?

She concludes by saying schools need to make sure they're teaching students "what it means to promote freedom and liberty" and apparently their way of doing that is banning students and silencing protected speech.

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

I'm headed into the Rules Committee in the 14th hour to fight against the GOP's Big Bill for Billionaires. Meanwhile, NY Rs are caving and about to sell out NY for Trump, Musk and their buddies. Reps. Stefanik, Lawler, LaLota, Garbarino, and Malliotakis are choosing Trump over their constituents.

Pathetic and weak, #NYTimes. If you won't call the Trump administration "liars," at least have enough spine to say: "There is zero evidence to support their claim that the legislators stormed into the detention center." @fairmediawatch.bsky.social @protecttruth.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

Every college and university in the United States should take notice of the real lesson here. It's not to give in. The lesson is that with this crew, if you cave, they take it as a sign of weakness. When a sheep is cornered by the wolf, it's not a great move to lie down and show the belly.

The government is demanding that a school discipline students as it wants, change the authority structure at the school, and end a department it doesn’t like. Remember that next time some person on the right tells you the GOP is the free speech party.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

The American political class is determined to treat Trump as one big goofball and strategically ignore everything he says or does that contradicts that claim, but he’s actually deranged and starting potential military conflicts with allies for no discernible reason.

Ds must accept that Republicans - including those they became used to treating as colleagues - are now, virtually universally, enemies of democracy. This is because being an R today means bearing allegiance to Trump, who is a traitor/enemy of democracy. Murphy, one of the smartest Senators, gets it.

Can’t wait for all the CIA ops officers to email what they did last week. This is a super smart and totally not dumb and illegal idea by a person who’s definitely not drugged out of his gourd and surrounded by tender-handed tough talkers.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

@nytimes.com this article said that the this case was dismissed because the plaintiffs lacked standing. The judge didn’t rule on the legality of the offer. That seems like an important difference. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.
