What I saw from the President and Vice President today was a total and utter disgrace.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

"I gotta be honest, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other" - JD Vance in 2022. Explains a lot of today's behavior.

Today I called my Congressman's office. I said that I am a rare disease patient and that if the Medicaid cuts that he votes for last night interfere with my treatment and cause my death, I will make sure that his name is in my obituary as one who is responsible for my death. His name is Dave Joyce.

Liberals created Musk’s wealth with which he tries to crush liberals.

@maddow.msnbc.com congratulates @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the news that his book, "The Sirens’ Call" hit #1 on The New York Times Best Sellers List.

CALL twice a day since thats how fast things are moving. For Ohio: Sen. Jon Husted husted.senate.gov (202) 224-3353 Sen. Bernie Moreno moreno.senate.gov (202) 224-2315 For Kent and the rest of the 14th Congressional District: Rep. Dave Joyce joyce.house.gov (202) 225-5731

In a separate directive, Bondi “orders DOJ employees to adhere to ‘zealous advocacy’ of the Trump administration's policies.” She refers to them as “his lawyers”… Note: Lawyers still have ethical obligations that stand separate and apart from what a client wants them to do.

Not to worry as it’s only a tier 1 violation of the Constitution and, as everyone knows, it only really becomes a problem at tier 3 and above.

"In Mogadishu Somalia, the State Department instructed security guards protecting an arms depot from insurgents to simply walk off the site. When the guards asked what would happen to the armory, their government contacts told them they didn’t have any answers..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

“The Harvard Medical School physician received a stop-work order for a program designing treatment plans for people with the most drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Infectious diseases do not know borders, she pointed out. 'It’s terrifying'...” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

"Shuttered HIV and TB treatment programs have been told they cannot resume work without written instruction that the waiver applies to them. Few have been able to obtain such clarification because their assigned contacts at USAID have been fired or furloughed..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

"Two-thirds of the staff of the President’s Malaria Initiative, an organization founded by former President George W. Bush, have been fired, including some of the most senior and respected scientists working on malaria control in the world..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

thanks bsky! this is a big help

"I, like many Venezuelans, was very supportive of President Trump..." "Betrayed. We feel betrayed. More than betrayed. Beyond betrayed...” www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

An election denier has been confirmed as Attorney General of the United States.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump "appeared to announce a completely unprecedented American policy towards Gaza and the people that live there that on its face would violate international law and be seen by millions around the world as the U.S. backing explicit ethnic cleansing.”

This is unacceptable! Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren, reporting that Navajo citizens in Arizona and New Mexico have faced “negative, sometimes traumatizing experiences” with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants after Trump’s recent immigration orders.

"This is like a meteor just crashed into all of our cancer centers and research areas..." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

history has shown that prosecuting librarians or educators is one of the hallmarks of an oppressive regime that seeks to control knowledge and suppress dissent. bit.ly/3WtYPMs via @everylibrary.bsky.social
