Old but relevant! Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

HISTORY DEPT. The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

39 years ago, a KGB defector chillingly predicted modern America A disturbing interview given by a KGB defector in 1984 describes America of today and outlines four stages of mass brainwashing used by the KGB. bigthink.com/the-present/...

This video is insane. Watch this fascist buffoon try to threaten the governor of Maine to her face at a White House event. She doesn’t back down at all: “I’ll see you in court.”

Let’s GO!!!!! youtu.be/BiXs6OYBM0U?...

200 million dollars of waste.

This makes me crazy mad! RFK Must be rolling over in his grave. RFK Jr. says he'll fix the drug crisis. Critics say his plan is risky www.npr.org/2025/01/29/n...

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

@gatech-globedev.bsky.social I’d love to hear Georgia Techs position on all of this. @ajc.com

1/ "The Trump administration has blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money."

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

I have decided to call @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social EVERY DAY to tell him to fight harder. The days of being cautious and timid have led us to fascism. I will remind him he works for us and that he needs to ramp it up. I called and left a message today. Please join me. His number: 202-225-5936

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

Are you all okay over there

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

So a free pass to commit crimes forever?

@extremearturo.bsky.social had a piece this morning on the parallels between DOGE austerity and Milei's program, and it's worth flagging: 1 in 8 Argentinians has fallen into poverty under Milei's policies.

Co-presidents Trump & Musk are gaming us—pretending to cut “government waste” while plotting to rob us blind and push a permanent billionaire tax cut that will add trillions to the debt they care about only during elections. The thing is—the con is so g damn obvious! (Video 🧵)

Works as advertised

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

In case you missed. Treasury Secretary Bessent, supposedly a normie Republican, reached out to a MAGA extremist and conspiracy theory-monger who has extolled murderous fascist dictators as role models for the right’s war on progressives. And Hegseth did, too.

@maddow.msnbc.com you gotta get John on air and ask him what’s really going on.

RFK's not-so-veiled threat to take mental health drugs away is even worse than it looks at first blush. He wants to replace these medications with labor camps. This fits with the larger, eugenics-informed Trump/Musk agenda. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

@staceyabrams.com you gotta see this!

This is quite a thing to find 18 paragraphs down in a story. wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Trump handed the government keys to Elon Musk, + now DOGE staffers are running federal agencies like a startup. This week, we sat down w/ @leahfeiger.bsky.social + @kateshaw.bsky.social to break down Musk’s Treasury infiltration + what happens if courts can’t stop him: crooked.com/podcast/how-...

@staceyabrams.com Who is going to lead? Many of my friends are asking who is going to take charge and help lead us into battle? I live on the southern coast of Georgia and there are many of us here that want to stand up and fight. Send us the leader, because we’re ready to fight!

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/
