šŸšØ JUST IN: President Biden made a surprise appearance at the Model UN Conference in NYC this week. He spoke to young leaders about the power of diplomacy, the importance of listeningā€”even to those we disagree withā€”and the responsibility to create real change. Even out of office, a leader leads.

mRNA vaccines are legit a near-miracle tech, there's one in testing that might be able to cure pancreatic cancer, and this fucking degenerate might take them from us arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

This was two months ago.

Trump and Musk have cut vital programs at the VA, leaving many veterans in crisis abandoned. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs. youtu.be/dNkPuZ0gRdI?...

This is an embarrassment. If you are a Virginian and don't like this, let your senator who is up for reelection know.

This is evil. Pure evil.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

HA! You can't hide from your own angry constituents but it is genuinely hilarious that you think you can try. Looking forward to the next congressional recess. šŸ˜˜

Perhaps Nikki wants to consult a mirror?

Iā€™ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, Iā€™ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It wonā€™t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

Germanyā€™s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Very interesting reporting here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

I should just give up, butā€¦ Democrats should imagine what Republicans would have said and done if Merrick Garland had gone to, like, Netroots Nation, called Don Jr a crackhead, and mused about fabricating criminal charges against Joe Biden's enemies, and then say and do that.

This is an excellent read.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trumpā€™s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

During Bidenā€™s 2020 campaign and after, the pressure was nonstopā€”ā€œForgive student loans, or we wonā€™t vote for you!ā€ People ignored that executive orders arenā€™t the best solution since the next administration can just undo them. Weā€™re seeing that play out now. šŸ§µ

Governor Hochul must use her power in this extraordinary crisis + remove Eric Adams from City Hall. Hochul also needs to stand up to Trump to undo his destruction at the federal level. There is a lot she can do to protect NY! Call her at 518-474-8390 + join this on Sunday šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡ @indivisible.org

Gov. Hochul: NYers are hurting & scared of what Trump-Musk are up to. We need leaders who fight, not traitors who profit from fascists. #MayorAdams isn't putting NYC first. He has broken his oath. But you have the power here. Hold #EricAdams to accountā€”remove him ASAP. gothamist.com/news/will-go...

Interesting, Ari Emanual and his firm Endeavor are in on this deal. They're the ones that withheld funding from down ballot democrats until and unless Biden dropped out of the race three months before the general election. I'm sure it's unrelated. www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

Jon Batiste, who is performing the Star Spangled Banner right now, served on the Kennedy Center Board until he was removed by President Trump this past week.

But Trump promisedā€¦šŸ„“

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

Please plan a visit to your nearest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trumpā€™s lawless overreach. Your ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need to know: http://indivisi.org/...

Hey you - yeah YOU, person who called your senators, visited their office, attended a rally, or sent an email this week. Check out what you're capable of. Keep it up.

NEW: Someone at IRS just told me they were informed that if they accepted the Fork in the Road deferred resignation, they'd still have to work through May 15th because it's filing season. So Musk lied. And what about filing season 2026? Are they just gonna cross that bridge when they come to it?

Um, hi. Congressional Democrats, exactly WHAT IN THE FUCK (!!!!) ARE YOU DOING?! Can we PLEASE wake up and get this foreign actor the God fearing fuck out of our government?! What exactly are you waiting for? Here is your actual formal invite to this fight. šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Itā€™s Holocaust Remembrance Day-80 years. www.cnn.com/2025/01/27/w...

ACOSTA: Do you agree with Trump's decision to pardon violent people? REP. BURCHETT: If they were truly violent, no. But I don't know that? ACOSTA: What do you mean you don't know? We're showing the footage right now.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrioā€™s mother just announced that he will be released from prison. Most likely a sentence commutation from Trump. Tarrio was serving 22 years for seditious conspiracy.

Lots of tradition and pomp and circumstance today, but a reminder that what we heard in President Trumpā€™s inauguration speech was not normal and his comments after are not just ā€œrhetoricā€

Elon Musk gave two back to back Nazi salutes at the Trump inauguration parade

My god, the capitulation is stunning. Our fourth estate is clearly in the hands of independent media.

President Biden. Lawrence O'donnell. You. Be There. Thursday

Please share this list FAR & WIDE! I will update as needed.

New in PN: Merchan subtweets John Roberts ahead of Trump's sentencing "Merchanā€™s order is a remarkable condemnation of the chief justiceā€™s screed, which treats legitimate criticism of SCOTUS's rulings as violence, while disregarding the actual violence encouraged by Trump and his cronies."

Everyone whoā€™s saying the media is failing usā€”WATCH THIS. ALSO: Dear @msnbc.com, how about a weekday version of The Weekend to replace Morning Joe? They keep it real and call it like it is. Thatā€™s what we need, deserve, and will consider watching again! #TheWeekend

They will try to rewrite history-But we watched with our own eyes. Never forget. Trump tried to overthrow the United States government, have his VP murdered & stop the election from being certified on January 6, 2020. Even worse? Trump has promised to release these violent offenders from prison.

By many traditional metrics, the America that Donald Trump will inherit from President Biden when he takes the oath two weeks from Monday is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since George W. Bush came into office in 2001.

1/Earlier this month, and largely unnoticed by the national media, a man from southern Virginia was arrested with what has been called the largest cache of explosives ever, perhaps 150 devices. And it's a very curious case. www.smithfieldtimes.com/2024/12/30/f...

Next time someone at CNN wonders why they continue to lose viewers, send them this.

BREAKING: Our exclusive interview with President Biden is LIVE NOW!

This is a great idea. Since we know MSM wonā€™t do it, I nominate @meiselasb.bsky.social and @bmeiselas.bsky.social or anyone else at the Meidas Touch!
