We can no longer stand by while the criminal-in-chief ransacks our government and lays waste to our democracy. Time to knuckle down.

If Musk says it's "a disgusting abomination," but Trump says it's "a big, beautiful bill," then each thinks the other is a liar. And while we're discussing conflict, it does not feel great being on the same side of anything as Musk, but here we are. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"Two weeks" is the ultimate bullshitter's safe harbor -- far enough out that the pressure is off for now and well enough in the distance that most daily news media can be counted on to forget.

Do Americans understand how shockingly racist & xenophobic our nation seems to the world, as Trump - rounds up thousands of brown people for deportation, - punishes colleges for intnl. enrollment - and now promises to aggressively persecute Chinese students? www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

😆SCREAMING. Trump loses his shit over his new #TACO nickname in a hysterically defensive word salad. Despite economist takes that the US economy was "the envy of the world" under Biden, Trump declares the US was "stone-cold dead" and "people didn't think it was going to survive." #TACOThursday

🧪 YAASSSSS: 16 state AGs just sued NSF for its illegal changes in "agency priorities" The broad scope would seem to not only address grant terminations...but also the underlying basis for closing programs, returning proposals without review, etc. The filing: www.doj.state.or.us/wp-content/u...

What an impotent POS. #Trump has gone from endless brags that he would end Russia’s war on Ukraine to whining that he’s “very disappointed” in Putin (!) and posting “Vladimir, stop!” on his shitty platform. He didn’t lower inflation, didn’t stop Israel or Russia and tanked the markets. #LOSER

Took some digging, but New College of FL's Fall '24 headcount was *allegedly* 872, per State University System of Florida. (SUS fudges facts for DeScamtis and so has little cred in my book.) W/ state funding of $105M, NC gets - ready for this? - $120,413 PER STUDENT.🤯 @newcollegeoffl.bsky.social

Then: “I will end Ukraine’s war with Russia on day one. It will be easy. I may even end it before I take office.” NOW: “Vladimir, STOP!” 😭 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Our federal govt and in some ways our nation are imploding: - Russia ignores Trump, now slaughtering Ukraine. - Seven of our closest allies including Britain, Germany & France have issued advisories against US travel. - Trump brazenly, illegally whores out the WH for $$$ without consequence. 1/

Great time to remind everyone that NO, the market HAS NOT RECOVERED from Trump's tariff whiplash and the chaos his rando economic actions inflicted on an economy described as "the envy of the world." On Jan. 29, the Dow Jones was at 44,882. It's now at 42,301 - DOWN by 2,580. 👀

What are Democrats doing TODAY to ensure that the the Republicans' griftfest of a budget bill is DOA? Republicans are split, which provides an opportunity, but how are we leveraging that opportunity? This bill will screw MILLIONS of Americans. It cannot pass. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It's been nearly 9 mos. since FL's public colleges and universities released official fall 2024 enrollment data, including detail on their entering undergraduate, transfer and graduate classes. Why hasn't @NewCollegeOfFL.bsky.social shared its numbers? Why aren't they online? 1/

What a lazy representation of @newcollegeoffl.bsky.social by @Chronicle.com - heavy on stereotypes, thin on fact.🧵 1. How can you post a 7,000-word Q&A on #NewCollege without noting that for years it has been the State Univ. System of Florida's honors college? 1/ www.chronicle.com/podcast/coll...

Trump thinks his followers are so easily deluded - like if he just says he’s winning and positive change is happening, people won’t notice he’s bankrupting America, raping our democracy and pocketing MILLIONS in straight-up grift, right out in the open. I call for a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in TRUMP.

Chief Justice John Roberts continues to run point for Donald Trump in their joint mission to dissolve American democracy. The latest: He blocks access to records of Trump’s para-governmental DOGE hit squad, which has repeatedly violated the law. #CorruptSCOTUS www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
