Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Rubio is dumber than a bag of hammers. Doesn’t even know geography. Russia is already on the western border of Poland. It’s called Kaliningrad. Also, Russian troops are on Poland’s eastern border in Belarus. Get a map, Marco.

along with wagon loads of other lies and bullshit from any number of sources

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

More please. šŸ¤—šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

New signage in NYC states that all dog poop must be placed into the nearest cybertruck. šŸ’©šŸš®

Musk explicitly says he wants to turn America into El Salvador where a strongman has consolidated power, undermined judicial independence, harassed journalists, and suspended constitutional rights

Wild. Bond villain stuff. Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to describe this. The national security concerns here are off the charts. www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

It's not a complete list, though, it's a good starting point. Boycott what you can. #TheAlliedForces

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

ā€œTrump may respond by inviting only sycophants and right-wing hacks to chronicle his daily decrees,ā€ Acosta continued. ā€œFine. Let the American people soak that in — the image of an aspiring autocrat and his servile propagandists.ā€ @jimacosta.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/jim-acosta-c...

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe? ZELENSKYY: Yes

Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough. It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

ā€œSo Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ā€˜transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.ā€ H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

ICE wants to hire contractors to monitor social media for threats. Those who criticize the agency could be pulled into the dragnet. theintercept.com/2025/02/11/i...

ā€œI’ll protect women, whether women like it or notā€ — Trump He’s not, in fact, quite the opposite! He also froze the funds and had the DOJ’s Violence Against Women Office remove information from the site that supports victims of Domestic Violence.

Now would be a good time to read @trevondlogan.bsky.social's excellent article on the relationship btwn white supremacy—esp anti-Black political violence—& progressive tax policy. The DOGE coup builds on the historical lies that 1) taxes only help Black folks & 2) that helping Black folks is wrong.

PLEASE SHARE.

Harsh! Imagine working in the federal government under Musk—where loyalty is tested, cruelty is rewarded, and nobody is safe. A former Twitter exec, @ruchowdh.bsky.social , who lived through it speaks out.

#FOIL - Freedom of Information of Act- start now thinking about what you can request to file an action- Civil suits are being brought by state AGs for citizens. #Project2025 #ArrestMusk Richard Painter rocks! So nice to see him! youtu.be/dTIwy2f_e9s?...

NEW: Did Elon just create a secret IT contracting vehicle at OPM to avoid Congressional and public oversight? We need to get more eyes on this so please share my latest (always free): www.muellershewrote.com/p/did-elon-j...

A 19-year-old working for Elon Muskā€˜s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was given access to sensitive US government systems, but, his past association with cybercrime communities should have precluded him from gaining the necessary security clearances to do so. WTF ?!

ā€œPresidents Trump and Musk have merged their cult followings, attention addictions, conspiratorial mind-sets, disinformation artistry, disdain for the Constitution, talent for apocalyptic marketing and jumping-from-thing-to-thing styles.ā€ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/o...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a red alert moment when this entire country has to understand that our democracy is at risk, and for what? The billionaire takeover of government." Nailed it!

With the NFL removing "END RACISM" from the end zone, there is an ominous undercurrent running through #SuperBowlLIX. With America descending into authoritarian fascism, the similarities between Trump attending Super Bowl LIX and Hitler attending the 1936 Olympics are undeniable.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Yes, and it's time to get to the bottom of what happened here:

WAY surpasses Watergate. It’s the most serious constitutional crisis since 1861.

Sam Nujoma, the freedom fighter who led Namibia to independence from apartheid South Africa in 1990 and served as its first president for 15 years, has died. He was 95.
