Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Same

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

“Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the D.C. Beltway,” Sanders said. “It will only be defeated by millions of Americans…in every state in this country, who come together in a strong grassroots movement and say no to oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy.” More here:

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Exactly right

BREAKING WAPO: Elon Musk's DOGE is seeking access to a heavily-guarded IRS system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country — sparking alarm within the tax agency. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Don’t forget it

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is so good.

So Trump hurt America's relationship with Canada and made markets wobble all to "get" Canada to do things Canada had announced back in December in coordination with the Biden administration, do I have that right?

This is correct.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.” And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus. And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires. So the GOP mocked it.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

More of this!

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

This is who has the keys to our US Treasury now. Are you ok with this, America? This is a coup.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Do not f*ck with NBC News Chief WH Correspondent Peter Alexander! Keep fact checking live! FOTUS ha nothing left in his tank but to say “Quiet, quiet”.

Starting tomorrow, get vaccinated. Everything you can. The CDC took down their list. Use this. www.immunize.org/vaccines/vis...

This is all going to plan...

NY Times, Feb. 11, 1933.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

This is a national emergency:

ICE just adopted new policies making it harder for Congress to prevent deportations, per memo leaked to me:

NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

Trump says he's also going to put tariffs on pharmaceuticals

What the actual hell

Insanity, and possibly (hopefully) illegal
