On potential sanctions on Russia, Trump said: “When I see the moment where it’s not going to stop, we’re going to be very tough. And it could be on both countries.” "… So we are going to sanction Ukraine too. Makes sense. We need to punish them for defending themselves."

Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!

This @vanityfair.com investigation of RFK lieutenant Calley Means is a must-read, and includes compelling evidence that his claim to fame as a Coca-Cola whistleblower is totally made up. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Carl Sagan in 1986 on the problems with media and science literacy.

As I predicted, we are now entering an era where we cannot necessarily trust data coming from the federal govt on things like inflation. Something to watch VERY closely for GDP, unemployment, everything. www.wsj.com/economy/cpi-...

This is such good news! Now let's see how the government responds. Or fails to.

The worst health inspection report for any food establishment that I've seen.

Pocan dominated Vought during this exchange about the BS Vought is spreading about how the reconciliation won't add to the national debt

A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.

On Feb 10, Linda McMahon canceled a program that served over 1,600 disabled students. She can't seem to answer whether she stands by her decision. Those students deserve a chance to thrive.

These are being used to lure and kidnap Americans. But when the State Dept’s chief spokesperson was asked about it yesterday she didn’t know anything about it. All the best people.

Bannon says Musk and Republicans in Congress are lying about the deficit numbers in their budget, and the only way to reduce the debt significantly is to increase taxes on the wealthy: “You’re going to have to raise taxes.”

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

"Morning, Jim!" "Hey, Tom."

Thank you for all the follows. I'm playing catch-up on following back.

One mission, one team

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...
