“Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” O’Malley said. “I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days.” Ahead of any interruption in benefits, “people should start saving now,” O’Malley said. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🤬

The overall message of the administration is clear: The law, such as it is, exists only at the pleasure of the sitting president.

FYI Hope for Ukraine Inc and Nova Ukraine both have 100% ratings on Charity Navigator.

I'm old enough to remember when Lech Walesa's labor strikes turned into the Solidarity movement that eventually toppled Poland's communist regime. I'm hoping that today's Economic Blackout leads to General Strikes here in America. We've reached that point. Who will be our Lech Walesa?

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

It’s. A. Fucking. COUP. By. Russia. Our federal government has been captured by the Kremlin.

“[K]ey figures in or around the [Trump] administration entertain the kind of psychopathic fantasies indulged by Ayn Rand” in which “plutocrats leave the proles to die in the inferno they’ve created, while they migrate to their NZ bunkers, Mars or the ocean floor…“ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

AYFKM? Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe says he’s been fired from his Edison High School coaching job following his arrest at a Huntington Beach city council meeting in which he blasted the MAGA movement. www.thedailybeast.com/ex-nfl-star-...

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos's changes to the opinion pages have led subscribers to cancel in droves. It's the third wave of mass cancellations at the Post in just a few months.

Trump attacked Zelensky today for one reason: To make his Russian handler Putin happy. Trump has been engaged in lies for weeks attacking Zelensky and Ukraine with lies that Ukraine started the war, that Zelensky is a "dictator" and shaking down Ukraine for natural resources. This is all for Putin.

Pro-Ukrainian demonstration in Washington today.

Trump to Zelenskyy: "Your country is in big trouble. You've done a lot of talking. You're not winning this."

It wasn’t a “shouting match,” New York Times. It was Trump and Vance disrespectfully shouting at Zelenskyy. It was a shameful episode for America.

Starmer and Macron were polite in their corrections. Zelenskyy didn't come to play.

How would a random Russian news agency reporter sneak into the White House?

we have had evil and terrible people running things before but they have generally had some sort of idea for what they think the government should do, some vision by which it should operate these people have nothing except a desire to break it and hurt the people who work for it

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

WARNING: 3 measles cases have now been reported in N.J. News of the confirmed cases in New Jersey comes as a measles outbreak in rural West Texas has swollen to more than 120 people. It recently claimed a fatality — a young, unvaccinated child. www.nbcnewyork.com/new-jersey/m...

bsky.app/profile/thea... Sure, whatever…corruption is all the rage now… bc people can’t be bothered to learn to vote for themselves.

excellent point and thread

as part of a larger conservative push to deregulate child care, Idaho is set to become the first state in the country to gut all state-required child-to-staff ratios www.edsurge.com/news/2025-02...

NEW: HEALTH ALERT Measles has been confirmed in Washington state. An infant in King County has been identified as the first confirmed case of measles in Washington this year. This follows an alarming increase in measles cases in other regions of the United States. The King County infant,…

America...💔💔

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Remember the day Elon bragged with an infantile giggle about putting USAID into the "wood chipper". just your bog standard sociopath marauding through our world.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

The Social Security Expansion Act, intro'd by @sanders.senate.gov today, would: - Make Social Security solvent for the next 75 years. - Lift millions of seniors out of poverty - Expand benefits for seniors and people with disabilities by $2400 a year

This is the kind of American we value – not Musk-Trump. Reinstate all federal workers. Now.

Trump went out of his way to rescue two bottom-feeders. He pressured Romania to release Andrew & Tristan Tate—far-right influencers, accused rapists, human traffickers, money launderers, and leaders of an organized crime group. The brothers built their empire exploiting women. 1/2

😡

It's the oligarchy, stupid: One of the unacknowledged advantages of the horrendous era we’ve entered is that it is revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. Oligarchs are fully exposed, and they are defiant. It’s like hitting the “reveal code” key on…

These people (not this company necessarily, but they probably do too) also think AI can write TV/Film scripts too.

A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours. Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.

My latest:

you don’t need the press corps anymore — just pull out your phone. AOC did a livestream that spurred THOUSANDS of calls to congress. the msm wants drama? give it to them. like right now dems should have a fucking PARADE of fired federal workers out there putting a face on all this.

My latest, in the Post! [Just kidding. This is six years old and probably wouldn't get published there today.]
