They traded DEI for DAF

Omggg!!! I love this so much. Brittany showed up, babe in arms. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Reminder for everyone to watch your phone hygiene!

That’ll calm things down

The USG gets $5m but Trump gets much larger bribes or ownership stakes in their companies. Like Russia. My guess is $50m to him personally, maybe $100m.

The Trump administration has fired 400 FAA workers in the past week. www.axios.com/local/chicag...

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

I wrote about the very violent, very public detention of a woman for interrupting a speaker at the Kootenai County Republican’s town hall on Saturday. In Idaho, the lines between Republican politics and political violence are thinner than they are in some places; this is a terrifying escalation.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Republicans just voted to take your money and give it to billionaires. It’s not enough that House Republicans are enabling Trump and Elon Musk’s outrageous power grab. Now they’re selling out everyday Americans so that Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies can get even richer.

When I went to Congress as a Republican a few years back, I figured out in about one afternoon that Republicans don’t give a shit about the debt & deficits. 💯 this.👇

They are killing people.

Note here that Musk is now literally assigning himself new contracts based on the use of his DOGE wrecking crew and the associated micro-bros. this isn't a "conflict of interest". it's just handing yourself federal money www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

This is literal dictator shit. Jesus Christ. This is actually incredibly chilling.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social did everything in their power to stop House Republicans from stealing from sick children for the billionaire tax cuts but fell short because every single House Republican is in the fascist felon’s pocket. #DontCutMyMedicaid #SaveMedicaid #MOMSky

👏👏👏

A much better outcome for #Ukraine. And an important lesson for the rest of us: Zelenskyy shows again that he knows how to deal with bullies. kyivindependent.com/breaking-kyi...

My latest: "This is How Musk and the Broligarchy Are Trying to Steal the Wisconsin Supreme Court" All eyes should be on Wisconsin as Musk is spending millions to buy a pivotal Supreme Court seat & test a MAGA strategy to capture state courts across the nation. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

“This move tears at the independence of a free press in the United States,” the president of the White House correspondents’ association wrote. “In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b...

A Southwest Airlines jet attempting to land at Chicago Midway Airport nearly collided with a private plane on the runway.

it's her time

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

This narrative is getting real old. We successfully got Trump out of office. It was Dem leadership’s job to hold him accountable for his crimes so that he could not rebuild for 2024

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains? Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

LOCALLY: Options to rent or buy alternative spaces (ie abandoned schools vs. tearing them down which costs & to do) need to be more widely considered. In addition, more price gouging regulations need put into place to stop rental companies & landlords from profiting off natural disaster events.

The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Reporter: Who is the administrator of DOGE? White House secretary: “I’m not going to reveal the name of that person from this podium…”

Just as I predicted, once no other media organization stood with AP (other than issuing statements) this was the next step. And when you bow down to this, there will be another step taken to erode press freedoms. If you don’t fight for your rights, you lose them. Started / Going

The other Five Eyes nations would be insane to share vital intel with the US now that it is a Russian ally, has intel risks throughout the admin and the president has a track record of mishandling classified info. And here’s the thing: They know it and will withhold key info. As they should.

"Did you remember, by the way. that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014? That invasion was a giant triumph for unreality."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Um ... "small army" of private citizens, "processing camps" ... this is sounding familiar.

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago on February 24, 2022. Ukraine has not been defeated or destroyed but remains resilient and innovative in the face of this unjustified Russian aggression. 🧵(1/11) Latest: isw.pub/UkrWar022425

Republicans are voting today to cut healthcare for 72 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Dems, don't give them even one vote.

When Vanity Fair asked Trump Jr. for comment, his spokesman replied, "You people are a bunch of retards."

New York's (de)congestion pricing, which charges $9 to drive into Manhattan below 60 St, has reduced traffic, increased ridership, reduced subway crime, and is raising funds to fix the decaying transit system. Rare for a public policy to have this many benefits!

Noting that how directly the foreign press says things: Here is Le Monde, France's most established daily, which casually talks of the the "failed coup of Jan. 6." www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

You know… Congress and the senate could always pass resolutions calling Russia the aggressor, supporting NATO and calling for a Ukraine victory. Just sayin…. Stop tweeting start forcing.
