ICE is referring to the abduction, deportation, and imprisonment of a Maryland man, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, as merely an “administrative error” — claiming it was all done “in good faith.” In a court filing, lawyers for the Trump regime claimed that Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador…

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/5Gdbpcbq

Heather Cox Richardson cited this article by Jess Piper in her newsletter today and it is VERY illuminating. Sort of crystallized in my mind what I’ve been seeing but could not have defined. “Curated failure”. Very much worth reading. substack.com/@jesspiper/n...

If Democrats have to show up for the pack of lies trump will tell Tuesday night, I hope they arrive equipped with signs that say "YOU LIE," and hold them up every time he lies. Sadly, that means they'll have to hold them up for the duration of his entire lying speech.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cut off funding for half of the health centers that serve 400,000 Virginians, forcing some to close, which could mean up to 200,000 Virginians are suddenly without healthcare www.vpm.org/news/2025-02...

The Trump administration just delayed a key CDC vaccine advisory meeting—originally scheduled for Feb. 26-28. The excuse? Needing more time for public comment. The reality? A troubling move that could weaken science-based vaccine policy. 🧵 www.npr.org/sections/sho...

"'My frustration with USAID goes back to my time in Congress,' Rubio told reporters." Ah, so *that's* what he meant when he said Joe Biden wasn't doing enough to support USAID!

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Exactly.

More of Representative Crockett, please.

Finally!! Thank you Senator Schatz! www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

Remember we were so worried about TikTok getting our data that we banned it? Then we gave Elon Musk and his cronies access to Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, federal salaries, and other sensitive information.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

Instead of working w/ Congress to pass a bipartisan border bill to fix immigration & drug trafficking, Trump started a costly trade war which he claims will fix our immigration & drug trafficking problems Make it make sense! American consumers & workers will pay the price #TrumpTax #TrumpTariffs

If this doesn’t bother you, then you’re not paying attention

Despicable

The latest installment of “Leopards Ate My Face.”

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans. Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

The administration says it will conduct a comprehensive review of grant recipients' political and social ideology before resuming any funding. www.everylibrary.org/statement_om... via @everylibrary.bsky.social

The stakes couldn’t be higher with Trump's 1,500 pardons for January 6 criminals and an order to eliminate birthright citizenship. This is authoritarianism in action and bipartisanship isn’t the answer. Fight back, Chuck. app.sosha.ai/s/Ty9FVX7e

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Oppressing women is a priority of this administration. Like we’ve been saying this whole time. #resist

I will no longer engage with hateful comments on X , thus I have chosen to respond in this manner. 🤗

Good advice.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

Canada ranks 15th on World Happiness Index—USA is 23rd Canada ranks 24th on World Democracy Index—USA is 36th Canada ranks 11th on World Peace Index—USA is 132nd Canada's debt is $1.1T—USA's is $36T If MAGAs were smart they'd adopt Canadian policy & be happier, safer, more democratic, & less in debt

This is a fascinating turn of events

Always the cleanup crew. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hey everyone! The discussion I had with Officers Fanone and Dunn about their thoughts and feelings on the fourth anniversary of Jan 6 attack was so important, that I lifted the paywall. Please take a look, it’s very powerful adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/special-ja...

"If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions...If there is a guardrail protecting democracy — and that is very much an if — it exists in the black robes of our state and federal judiciary."

I hereby declare today the first annual "Kyrsten Sinema is No Longer a Senator and We Never Have to Care What She Thinks Again Day" Celebrate by putting on your silliest outfit, cracking open a bottle of your most expensive wine, and being a huge asshole to everyone around you for no reason

I worked on Justice Riggs’ campaign. She is a brilliant Justice with integrity and a strong sense of ethics. This gambit by her sore loser opponent and the NC Supreme Court is blood boiling and tragic.

Wow. Look how many respondents don’t know much about Trump’s nominees for various governmental positions. Is this ignorance or are people just not paying attention? Discuss. apnorc.org/projects/vie...
