House appropriators released an 168-page committee report for the Homeland Security funding bill, detailing major bi-partisan concerns with Trump's ICE plan. Even Republicans are urging Trump not to spend money we don't have to fund immigration efforts. subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=000001...

on this day in 1935 in Akron, OH, "Bill Wilson and Dr. Robert Smith, two recovering alcoholics, found Alcoholics Anonymous, also known as "A.A.," a 12-step rehabilitation program that eventually helps countless people cope with alcoholism." "One day at a time."

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

This.

Ashley Babbit's family is poised to recieve 30 million dollars (from tax payers) thanks to the Dept of Justice... Mrs Sicknick just wanted a phone call and the people who assaulted her son Brian held accountable.

Russia isn’t winning. They’re burning through men, tanks older than your dad, and begging North Korea for troops. That’s not strength—it’s desperation. We didn’t let them win the Cold War, and we won’t let them fake a win now. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI?...

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Trump today: If Iran does not agree to a deal “There will be bombing and it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before” Can he go 1 day without threatening a new war? How many would he like? - Greenland - Panama - Gaza - Mexico - Yemen - Somalia - Gaza - Venezuela Is 8 enough?

Every. Accusation. Is. A. Confession.

Watch me lie with impunity. Watch all the GOP congress applaud. Watch me name call. Watch the GOP congress laugh. Watch me trivialize the roles of the legislative branch - ignore the laws they passed, the appropriations they made, & the constitution they swore an oath to. Watch the GOP applaud.

"The U.S. decision to suspend the flow of military intelligence to Ukraine this week has aided the Russian advance along a critical part of the front, weakening the negotiating position of President Volodymyr Zelensky and killing many Ukrainian soldiers in recent days..." time.com/7265679/sate...

Every. Single. Word. 🎯 🎯 🎯 shorturl.at/SKwi7

“And lastly, it was nauseating to witness the numerous times that JD Vance and Mike Johnson were laughing—laughing about invading Greenland, laughing about Trump’s slurs, laughing about all the “appalling waste” in foreign aid that they’re ending.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Maybe we all need canes.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

PATRIMONIALISM is the word. Now it all makes sense. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“CNN asserted there’s no evidence to back the claim that Trump is ‘beholden to Putin’ in spite of the fact …” *Crash. Bang. Wallop.* Nobody drags mainstream media for incompetent, misleading pseudo-journalism - with receipts - like @emptywheel.bsky.social ⬇️: www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/02/r...

Straight up. Trump is a traitor & He is Putins Bitch. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Looks like that economic boycott started early. Funny how completely upending people's jobs, lives and sense of security can do that... www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

The DoD is conducting Reduction In Forces exercises according to the same guidelines other agencies and departments have used: Emails requesting a list of all probationary employees and recent promotions. I assume, as usual, no attention will be paid to value to the country or mission critical jobs.
