Look at Elon and the children, racking up bills doing reckless shit while their “boss” plays unending rounds of golf.

I cannot overstate how much I love @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This is what fascists do.

This is the swan song that Mitch McConnell deserves.

He wants to own it all.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

We’re coming together for an ALL HANDS ON DECK National Organizing Call to support one of our chances to take on Trump- two special elections for congressional seats in FL. Join us on Monday, Feb 24th at 7:30pm! www.mobilize.us/floridadems/...

Oh, look. The House GOP Budget reflects all the evil cuts to Medicaid they said they'd do in Project 2025. Maybe take them literally and seriously.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

The problem is that a large percentage of viewers won’t bother to fact check, or to believe the fact checkers. I’ve said before and I’ll say again: once you convince the masses that lies are truth and truth are lies, it’s over.

Ready to pay higher bank fees? 👇 financialservices.house.gov/news/documen...

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

From a business perspective, the way DOGE is carrying out its activities is just poor management practice. You can’t implement effective new software or reorganization without understanding current operations and taking advantage of historical knowledge.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

NEW PIECE: This is exactly what it says on the tin. I asked former Bureau of the Fiscal Service employees to respond to an Elon Musk tweet and they did. Largely "on background" analysis but I also have a number of great anonymous quotes from former BFS employees. www.crisesnotes.com/i-asked-form...

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

They won’t ever learn will they

Musk has made over $25,000,000,000 from tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts. That’s $25 Billion we as taxpayers have both given him directly and had to compensate for. You care about the deficit? Great! Give us our fucking money back.

The CFPB will begin deleting agency data as soon as today. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and Musk staffers are rewriting history on U.S. government websites and erasing data from databases nationwide—removing information that doesn’t align with their political agenda.

As I’ve said. The United States has seen its last free and fair election for the foreseeable future. Our children will be the ones who pay for this travesty.

Thanks Trump.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

“It’s time to break some shit.” -Jen Psaki, on the Democratic Party, on today’s episode of The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart. @kenmartin.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social I hope you’re listening.
