NASA begins cutting staff and eliminating three offices, marking the start of a mandated reduction in force at the space agency under Elon Musk’s directive. Gotta keep SpaceX afloat, right? Conflict of interest!

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

BLUE boosters and influencers to follow 😀😍💙🌈💚🌊🌎🌹 @fredbluevoter.bsky.social @itsjustjules123.bsky.social   @jackieresister.bsky.social   @jbm32753.bsky.social   @jcismyshortname.bsky.social   @jensdad4biden.bsky.social   @justinpowellweb.bsky.social   @kanekavi.bsky.social

What are we giving massive tax cuts for billionaires which adds 5 Trillion $$ to the national debt. The need to cut the debt has Trump instead cutting Medicaid, science & medical research, USAid, FBI, etc etc etc

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success. Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public? My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Exactly… there is none

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

Why the fuck did even one Democrat vote to censure Green?

The Target boycott is working!!!! Target is losing their ass. So listen up & share Amazon boycott starts this Friday, March 7 & lasts till the end of the month. No Amazon, No prime, No Whole Foods. No excuses. Send the message LOUD & CLEAR

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

No shortage of selective outrage

Some news: I'm starting a new job at @thebulwark.bsky.social, where I'll be writing a newsletter twice a week on right-wing media and conspiracy theories. It's exciting! Here's the announcement in today's Reliable Sources newsletter:

I hope it passes!!

Absolutely monstrous. Stop saying you’re “Christian” and support this evil fucking racist regime. — Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

CNN Fact-Checker Nails Trump On 13 'Flat False' Claims: www.huffpost.com/entry/daniel...

EXCLUSIVE: I recently spoke with Rep. Al Green who was just escorted from Donald Trump’s speech. We’ll have a chance to ask him more questions this evening. Here’s what he told me:

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

And now this…👇 Angry yet?! This. Once. Great. Country. Is. Weeping. ✨

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Gotta love Janet! ❤️ She is a badass, isn’t she?! 🤚 Pass. It. On. ✨

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.
