The Oscar for Best Humanitarian goes to Volodymyr Zelenskyy 🎗️

This move poses serious risks to U.S. national security and global cybersecurity ⚠️. It will embolden Russian hackers, weaken deterrence, and leave critical infrastructure vulnerable 🔓. It's a dangerously misguided decision.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

A visual perspective on the National Weather Service’s budget, and the cost of those let go last Thursday.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;

Disgusted. 🤢 Dirty. Ashamed. A 🧵 For an entire afternoon, most of us felt it. Still do now. The mobster-like bullying and language: 1/

This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.

Trump on US imports of Canadian resources: "We don't need their oil. We don't need their lumber." 60% of US oil imports are from Canada. 35% of US lumber imports are from Canada.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Congratulations to the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. GO Birds!

The most qualified Supreme Court justice nominee in history gets dismissed as a “DEI hire”—because she’s Black. Mediocre White men don’t get this disrespect!

Send letters to Congress right now--tell them to pass the bill to prevent anyone from messing with our payment systems and data. This has to end!

I’m taking every opportunity to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s illegal government takeover. Just now, I offered an amendment at the Commerce Committee to stop their seizure of your data at Treasury. Republicans voted it down in fealty to Trump. youtu.be/wR9Eu--McII

Germans know fascist wannabes when they see them.

A weak, pathetic man incapable of taking responsibility for the death and chaos caused by his incompetence.

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services. We've heard reports of Medicaid portals being shut down and childcare funds being frozen. Trump is steering the US into a disaster of his own making.

Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that: Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid. Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance. Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

The USAF, at the order of the Commander in Chief, will cease lessons involving The Tuskegee Airmen. Over 30 of these decorated combat pilots are resting with honor in Arlington. This isn't about DEI. This is outright racism & segregationist ideology - the very ideology these men fought against.

It is wild—and crushingly sad—how quickly corporate America has embraced the most basic pay-to-play business practices ahead of the incoming Trump admin. What would considered illegal overseas under the Foreign Corruption Practices Act is now de rigueur here at home. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Every wildfire starts with an ignition – downed powerlines, lightning, arson – and we can do a lot to reduce these. But in California the number of fires has dropped while the area burned has doubled. What has changed is conditions, not ignitions:

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers. I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

Anyone who says "History will not be kind" to Trump has never walked through the US Capitol and seen how Jefferson Davis, Alexander Stephens and John C Calhoun all have tributes.

Is this true? Super wow!

100% earned. Congrats Bill!

Must be nice

People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.

If I ran MSNBC, I would: 1. Make the @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social a daily show; 2. Give @mollyjongfast.bsky.social a daily show; and 3. Beg @nicollewallace.bsky.social to add another hour. But, I don't run MSNBC.

New to this whole starter pack thing, but I didn’t see one for Philly yet. Please let me know if you want or be added. let’s connect, Philly! go.bsky.app/UoLnwgq #philly #gobirds
