Here's one more action, bc I realized that Chair of the House Ag Committee's district (appropriately) includes State College. If you're at Penn State, plan a trip to one of his offices to ask him he's not holding a hearing on USDA firing people in charge of bird flu. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Democrats in Washington have been reactive - not proactive - in creating a strategy to counter the Trump agenda. We can’t continue to be caught flat-footed. I’ve got a solution. Check out my first Substack below. open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

Instead of posting snarky comments on social media, maybe Senator Tillis should remember this isn’t a game. It’s not a joke. These government agencies impact the real lives of the North Carolinians he claims to serve. And the people deserve better than this MAGA clown show.

The outrage over Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" came when the top two officials at the DOJ resigned rather than follow his corrupt orders. These posts aren't as prominent, but their resignations should help force more attention on the insanely corrupt bargain between Adams and Trump.

Pope Francis' remarkable rebuke of JD Vance and Trumpism lays bare an essential truth: Trump is overseeing a massive and systematic abandonment of obligation to the global poor, and Vance's theological obfuscation can't make that disappear. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1914...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Take note We The People need you to step it up, like @rbhubbell.bsky.social and @politicsgirl.bsky.social are saying: open.substack.com/pub/roberthu... www.youtube.com/shorts/keNw6...

Group 2, you've been nominated by @rbhubbell.bsky.social. Please all coordinate with each other. Take it away! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @katieporteroc.bsky.social @tammyduckworth01.bsky.social @brianschatz.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @elissaslotkin.bsky.social @adamschiff.com

Please send an email to Sen. Schatz and thank him. This is how it's done.

Government officials and leaders: Be like James Dennehy.

Isn't there a way to stop this? An injunction, perhaps? Something else?

Trump’s DC US Attorney says that “Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impacts” what Elon Musk’s people are doing will be investigated by his office since that “may break numerous laws.”

'World's richest man cancels aid from the world's richest country to the world's poorest people'. There's your headline.

FYI

Freezing rain + Sunday scaries are nothing in the face of @schumer.senate.gov’s weakness as Minority Leader — he needs to take *several* pages out of McConnell’s playbook 📖 It’s a coup, where are YOU?! Fight or Resign, Chuck. @indivisible.org @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

In case you’re wondering what’s about to get MORE expensive, helpful FOX scroll. 👀 #TrumpTradeWar

Can we call them digital brownshirts?

If each Treasury payee is a separate record, and there are, say, 68,000,000 social security payees (as is estimated), then at $5000 per violation, it seems like Elon could be penalized $340 billion if he unlawfully accessed their Treasury records...

Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system

Really? WTF?

Who Can Stop Elon’s ‘Team’ Wilding Its Way Through the Federal Government? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/who-c...

Republicans have a major strategic advantage in terms of narrative control because all of them, from swing district Rs like Mike Lawler all the way to the true blue MAGA, are willing to ruthlessly exploit tragedy to score political points.

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

Like, is there ANY DOWNSIDE to, say, a Tim Walz media blitz where the democrats stop acting like everything is grave and ponderous and Walz just calls the the Trump administration pieces of shit, and Fallon is like WHOA can he say that!

If these Republicans advance RFK Jr., they're not just rolling the dice on a reckless nominee, they are telling the country they believe it's more important to appease Donald Trump than ensure Americans' health. Confirming this anti-vaxxer is not just about politics--it's a life-and-death decision.

Tax dollar alert: By using heavy duty military aircraft for deportation flights, Trump is wasting $150,000 to $750,000 per flight over the $102,000 charter flight cost, as reported by @maddow.msnbc.com #Deportation #Taxes

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

it has always been wild to me that the model these guys have for the united states is a country that would rival mississippi for poorest state if it became part of this country

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

This is Soviet-style revisionism. Just airbrush it away. Fascists and authoritarians always look to control history.

TONIGHT: @normornstein.bsky.social and @johnhforthepublic.bsky.social talk to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

Yup :

They want to empower the predators to inquire about girl’s genitalia so they can oppress trans people. They are obsessed with this to a dangerous degree.
