It's always who you most suspect. www.joemygod.com/2025/02/wa-p...

This makes so much sense

I’m so tired of this asshole. Who the fuck does he think he is? He hasn’t been elected or confirmed to a goddamn thing!

Feeling old. I was just a kid, almost 10, but I can remember when this came out.

Not to mention almost 30 years of right wing hate radio. I blame Reagan for getting rid of the Fairness Doctrine and Clinton for media deregulation which gave us conglomerates like iHeart that buy up radio stations to spew this garbage.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

This will go down as the Friday Night Massacre of the Military. First the Chairman of the JCS and now Adm. Franchetti, the first woman to become a member of the JCS. Next up the Air Force’s No. 2 officer & the top JAGs for each service. Martial law is coming. breakingdefense.com/2025/02/trum...

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Friday #sunset over the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania. I wish I had taken the pic but someone I know who is over there sent it to me. #photography

devastating, amazing reporting and photography on the aftermath of the Philadelphia plane crash: The ‘hero’ who saved a 9-year-old boy on fire share.inquirer.com/C3gxqw (gift link). Really, save a few minutes to read this one.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Elon Musk is such a whiny little bitch.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

“Americans will not escape the dire consequences” of the past election. 😵‍💫 by @monacharen.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/america-jo...

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Pete Hegseth is about to purge military officers—and make no mistake, this is 100% political retribution. 📌 Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth is planning to fire generals and top officers as soon as this week, per two Defense officials and three Congressional sources. Most of them tied to Lloyd Austin.

This is so dangerous!!Western NC is littered with trees and debris from Helene. Forest fires have been and will continue to be an issue. The firing of U.S. Forest Service workers in Asheville threatens Helene recovery efforts, current and former employees say, and future of the agency.

Totally not a #cult though

Trump won’t need Congress to act in order to toss thousands if not millions of people off the Social Security rolls. He will just claim—through his hand picked head of the Social Security Administration—that there is fraud and they are simply cleaning up the system.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

Putin has been grooming Trump for decades. When he attacked our elections in 2016, Trump’s campaign repeatedly sought to cooperate with the assault. In office, Trump lashed out at Putin’s enemies and tried to extort Ukraine. Now Trump lies on his behalf. The mask has fallen. He’s Putin’s puppet

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I did this morning and it took me about 10 minutes for all three. It’s best to have your credit locked down since Musk and his minions have access to all of our personal info. www.nerdwallet.com/article/fina...

Parse those words carefully. He says he will take millions of people off social security to save money. I can't wait to see who the DOGE boys decide are worthy of receiving it.
