The cruelest part of the Musk-Trump shutdown is that their little Johnson will continue to be paid—despite the fact that he fails miserably at his job—while thousands of dedicated civil servants will be forced to work while not knowing when their next paycheck will come. At Christmas.

Whenever someone tries to silence me, it only makes me louder. I know what it’s like to have a hand over my mouth and a boot on my neck. I know what it’s like to have someone steal your voice from you. But I got out of it. I emerged stronger. And I will never let anyone silence me ever again.

When I tell y’all TikTok has been beyond wild the past week, I am not kidding! On my feed yesterday👇 (P.S. Not an endorsement so don’t @ me)

Over a month before Inauguration,Trump walks back one of his main campaign promises - bringing down grocery prices.

That’s when you chuck the board. This is also a lesson in politics, sociology, and economics.

Good night, Bluesky friends. 🌙

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

No Chuck, we should not do the thumbs up. He also should not have had a good time laughing it up with Trump at the Al Smith Dinner right before the election, but too late for that one. We need new leadership. I’ll say it if nobody else will.

Just to give you a sense of the growth of Bluesky: the first individual Bluesky user has just reached 1 million followers. (It’s AOC—so, well deserved!)

TikTok recently dismantled several networks of accounts that had tried to interfere with elections in Romania, executives said today, with some removed as late as Friday.

Trump didn't fuck up the US, he took over something that was already broken & abused. Nothing in that country is normal or has been normal in a very long time. Which from the outside, it is horrifying to see a country so powerful and subjugated, so involved in our lives and apathetic to them too.

Britain’s government argued it has not changed position on the war in Ukraine today after PM Keir Starmer spoke openly about strengthening Kyiv’s hand in peace talks.

I am not going to stop calling for an FBI background check of Tulsi Gabbard and neither should you.

Bluesky feels more like “old Twitter” than X does. That’s one reason why millions of people are switching to Bluesky. 🦋

To recap, the guy nominated Ambassador to Israel does not recognize Palestine and the guy picked to lead the military gets drunk a lot and yells stuff like "Kill all Muslims". I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

PSA: If you’re currently twisting yourself into some sort of false equivalency “abuse of power” pretzel in order to make Joe Biden pardoning his son the same as Trump pardoning those who killed our Capitol police in his name, please stop. You look stupid.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

"No one is above the law" now rings hollow. Can America rebuild the rule of law? www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The Russian economy is on a free fall. Two years of unsustainable war and sanctions are finally catching up. #russianbankcollapse

I just leave this here.....

Funny because true.

Interesting how businesspeople who didn’t inherit and bankrupt companies actually understand and take seriously the laws of supply and demand. 🤔 www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

I just want to say that even though I am the Board Chair and Executive Director of a 501(c)4 non-profit that is clearly going to be in the crosshairs of the Trump Administration… I will never back down. You can count on that. I hope and believe that many of my peers will stand with me.

former Trump National Security Adviser HR McMaster: "There are some people in the Republican Party these days who tend to parrot Vladimir Putin's talking points."

Couple things about Russia’s IRBM/ICBM attack on Ukraine: 1. Well, we know at least some of their ballistic missiles work. This is not unexpected 2. It’s a clear escalation by Russia, but one that I think highlights the fact that—at this point at least—they don’t want to cross the rubicon on nukes

Which is precisely why the GOP constantly seeks to control and degrade the education process. If you keep voters dumb and afraid, they’re far easier to manipulate.

The allegations in the media report on Hegseth’s sexual assault are vile. The Trump team was already looking at potential replacements because they feel like Hegseth mislead them. Now we wait to see if they accelerate the replacement or double down on the nomination.
