Pay attention to Tim Snyder.

Amen to that.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

If he gets this clenched at "See you in court," one wonders what might happen if there is strategic heckling at the State of the Union 11 days from now.

This is how it’s done.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

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

Biden’s eleventh hour pardons are really making sense now. Instead of the Gulf of America, I propose Gulf of Retribution.

Ok that made me laugh

Math is hard

Ukraine started its own invasion for sport. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

America's first gender neutral bathroom was Rush Limbaugh's gravesite.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum will reopen on Wednesday February 19.

An important point to keep in mind.

Imprisoning journalists is fine when we do it

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

This is fascism.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

jamelle is correct

This is probably the most accurate take.

Conquest: Trump War: Hegseth Famine: Musk Death: RFK

The co-presidents are in the White House together today

It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

Mitch McConnell can vote against every Trump nominee and still not redeem himself for his refusal to vote (and encourage his then sycophants) to impeach Trump for the insurrection. Now, McConnell has no power, no sway, no respect for self or country. We could have removed the orange menace for good
