@bluegal.bsky.social I heard driftglass with the BradCast complaining about corey booker talking about today’s problems not being “right vs left” but I think he missed that this “filibuster” was all about him running for president. Hopefully, next time there is a bill favoring his pharma donors 1/

@kagrox.bsky.social @demfromct.bsky.social I like salty Greg (his French is excellent!)

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

MAGA voters are said to benefit most from Medicaid and most of them oppose cuts to Medicaid even though their orange felon/GOP voted to destroy Medicaid today. Don’t cry now, enjoy what you voted for. FAFO.

⚡️128 Ukrainian drones attack Russia overnight, Krasnodar Krai port targeted. Residents reported explosions in the cities of Tuapse and Anapa in Krasnodar Krai, while the airport in Sochi was closed due to a drone attack.

McGovern: To the gentleman who just spoke from South Carolina, he may need reminder, maybe he could do a town hall in his district, 74,000 of his constituents receive coverage under the affordable care act. By supporting this resolution, he's betraying the..

Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Elon Musk's human shield told Trump that he's not the president and needs to go away during a live press conference. Kids repeat everything they hear.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Tulsi Gabbard as Director Of National Intelligence is like Ted Kaczynski as Postmaster General. This will cost lives.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

President Musk, Mista Trump, & DOGE are squeezing every last penny out of every government entity for one purpose: To fund Trump's $5 trillion tax cut for himself, his crime family, & other super-rich billionaires & donors like President Musk. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

Speechless. Put this in the Projection Hall of Fame🥇

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

“Albert Einstein himself thought that the eponymous Einstein ring would be impossible to observe, but the Euclid telescope has picked one up just 600 million light years from Earth.” www.newscientist.com/article/2467...

Great point.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Their aim is nothing short of a new Dark Ages. Anti-science, anti-education, anti-democracy, in favor of needless human suffering. NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Scientists were quick to point out that cutting indirect costs could be detrimental to research studies because it would mean slashing funding for lab space, researchers and supplies — all considered essential for scientific research. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Calling the costs of running scientific research labs “administrative overhead” might fool the lab rats and guinea pigs. It won’t fool the people dying of cancer or heart disease. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

With loopholes & incentives for private equity pillaging, this is bound to happen over & over again. I’ve got legislation to prevent private equity looting from destroying jobs, putting valuable companies out of business, & putting lives at risk in our health care system:

Collins: ‘Trump has empowered Musk far beyond what is appropriate.’ Constitutional, Susan. You misspelled Constitutional.

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.
