Ok. I'm out. Washington Post Opinion Editor Exits as Bezos Steers Pages in New Direction www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/b...

The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

Dismantling of the free press continues. The WH press pool will now be controlled by the Administration, rather than coordinated by the Correspondents’ Association. “It’s beyond time the White House press pool reflects the media habits of the American people in 2025." l.smartnews.com/p-j9nrSGs/bN...

@newshour.bsky.social just posted pic of RETYPED text of Musk's email to Federal staff demanding 5 bullets on their work. Why not just post an image of the email? "Musk is known to put coding in his emails that could reveal our source." Think of what our FREE press is having to do.. already...

"DOGE is the Theranos of cost-cutting...We’re being ruled by a mad king living in an alternate reality and a erratic, ketamine-fueled oligarch - [and] it’s not clear which is the other’s sidekick." #DOGEshit bit.ly/41vhBpI @pkrugman.bsky.social

There is no ambiguity. There is no gray. Nazism has taken hold of the Republican Party. WATCH THIS. youtu.be/cTDMHv0IXt8

Horror upon horror. Will this poor, suffering, innocent family EVER find respite? www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-feb...

The official White House twitter account just posted this insanity

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

On Truth Social, "Trump wrote Zelensky 'better move fast or he is not going to have a country left'..Trump also wrote Zelensky is a “dictator” who “refuses to have elections," signaling support for Russian demands that Ukraine hold elections before negotiating an end to the war." bit.ly/4b7476u

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE: Trump Sues Brazilian Judge Weighing Arrest of Bolsonaro. "The lawsuit..represent[s] an astonishing effort..to come to the rescue of a fellow right-wing leader.. indicted on charges that he tried to overturn his election loss." @nytimes.com bit.ly/4b55nXI

"Calling for presidential elections in Ukraine..Trump said of Zelensky: “He’s down at 4% approval..Trump’s comments came after US and Russian foreign ministers held talks in Saudi Arabia.." Poll by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology found Z's approval at 57%. @timesofisrael.com bit.ly/417Gc2o

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Here is your opportunity, @amazon, @andyjaffe. Create a hostage Rehabilitation and Recovery fund and spare Sasha and his brethren this need for crowdsourcing. Come on... You can do it... bit.ly/4hHEI5M #BRINGTHEMALLHOMENOW

IN MEMORIUM. Heart breaking news. The Bibas Babies are gone. 💔

CANCELLED: 1/2 the team of 'disease detectives' at #CDC are receiving letters stating 'You are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency's current needs.' These are the EXPERTS who investigate disease outbreaks w/in US & abroad. Thanks #RFKJr.

What is wrong with this pic?

Cavalier ass. "As is his way, Trump was airily confident on Tuesday as regards Gaza’s terrorist monsters and his ultimatum. 'They want to play tough guy, but we’ll see how tough they are...They’re bullies. Hamas is bullies. The weakest people are bullies." bit.ly/42Xqycg @timesofisrael.com

We can play this game too.

Also known as Elon's "legion of flying monkey incels from the Department of Breaking Shit They Don’t Understand" ~ @jeffteidrich.bsky social projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social on yesterday's presser with "Donny, bearing all the intellectual heft of a concussed toddler," "Kid Ketamine," and "the son he actually calls X": "even Elon’s mini-me...is all ‘what the fuck is going on with this stinky old man?’" Want more? www.jefftiedrich.com?r=8yk9r

Boom.

WHERE IS THE PUBLIC OUTRAGE? Chained, gagged, hung by their feet and burned. Given a single rotten pita bread to share. Mouths covered in thick cloth, deep in dark, dank, airless tunnels. Forced to sleep on the floor with only one blanket to share. Is this not another Holocaust? bit.ly/40V4XPd

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

2025 #KennedyCenter honorees: Kid Rock, Kanye, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, Ted Nugent, Carrie Underwood, Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer

#Hostages Eli Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami, seen on #Hamas propaganda stage before they were released to the Red Cross this morning, beside scene from the liberation of #Auschwitz 80 years ago. #NEVERAGAIN

As OTUS (Orangutan of the United States) fires the board of the Kennedy Center and appoints himself chair, be alert to America's legacy of diverse art and the cultural institutions he threatens to eliminate. Here, Kehinde Wiley's "An Archeology of Silence." #RESIST

2/2 THIS IS NOT NEW! "The Nazis heralded Adolf Hitler, the Führer, as an artistic leader...War and culture went together in the National Socialist agenda. Art, said Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, 'is no mere peacetime amusement, but a sharp spiritual weapon for war.'" bit.ly/3Q7uW0C

1/2 Next up: #CULTURECAPTURE. "At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center...GREAT AGAIN." He said he would “immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture.” bit.ly/3WNCGZF

Meanwhile, back in Musk's DOGE CAVE... "Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool." l.smartnews.com/p-iGRMhVn/qT...

NYU's @bartongellman.bsky.social describes table top exercises he ran last summer looking at what would happen if tRUMP were elected. Worst case scenario? "Everything Everywhere All At Once." Even that didn't foresee all the power off loaded to #Musk. It's a MUST listen/read. HORROR. bit.ly/4gqF3bT

Today at National Prayer Breakfast, we learned America needs new task force to eradicate anti-christian bias. Tonight on @pbsnews.bsky.social, Rep. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) repeatedly stated FBI under Biden went after Catholics. Detect a theme? #ChristianNationalism bit.ly/412F6Gj

And stop saying "we voted for" this. Trump did not run on giving Elon Musk universal power to decide how my tax dollars were spent. Trump did not run on starting a trade war with Canada, invading Greenland, or the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. No one vote for this.

#GazaRiviera #MaraLago

Has it dawned on anybody in the Administration that this reign of chaos presents a PERFECT opportunity for the next 9/11? #WHOSONFIRST (art: Jon Han for @nytimes.com)

#STATECAPTURE refers to the way laws, social norms, gov't bureaucracy, or gov't decision-making are manipulated by corrupt officials, state-backed companies, private companies, or private individuals, to influence policies and laws in their favour. See e.g. South Africa under Jacob Zuma.

ADDED BONUS: If they deport American Jews to Israel, they can kickstart the Rapture. Make their evangelical base happy. (Involuntary gagging)

Ah, the wisdom of the Acolytes. How 'ya like him now, Michiganders?

“The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too," says Self-Appointed-Messiah-of-the-World. Uh-huh. How 'ya like him NOW, Michiganders?
