Lots of people think it's pointless to call out GOPers on capitulation to Trump. Here's why it's not. You need to make this claimed helplessness visible. You need to make it clear Jerry Moran has PLENTY of tools to rein in Musk, but has chosen not to use them. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

There isn't much good news around at the moment. But it turns out beavers create it in bucketloads. @timsmedley.bsky.social's first dispatch for Prospect, from somewhere near a Northamptonshire shopping centre, is the joy you didn't know you needed. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/enviro...

New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

Here's my action of the day for anyone in Texas. These are the agencies that the Commerce Committee, headed by your very own Teddy Cancun, oversees. He's the guy w/oversight authority over Sean Duffy's cuts to FAA (and failures to respond to plane crashes). Think of creative ways to lobby him!

Incredibly positive news for Scotland's northeast, as the energy transition brings £30 billion in investments. Remember: as powerful as the far-right looks right now, they have nothing to offer but a retreat into the past borne along on a current of scientific and economic illiteracy.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are
