Simple question. Impossible for a Trump sycophant to answer!

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

80 years ago today: Marines raise the flag on Iwo Jima. We in the pro-democracy camp fight for the America that won World War II, and for the America that after the war worked to further advance the American idea. We know what side we would have been on 80 years ago, and what side we're on today.

Fingers crossed!!

Friday night Tequila tweet: Fuck Donald Trump & everyone else who stands with Putin. Fuck @elonmusk & everyone else who doesn’t know what Ukraine is fighting for. Trump & Musk would’ve sided with Great Britain during America’s fight for independence. Fuck them. Slava Ukraini.🇺🇦

A neocolonial shakedown. The American government doesn’t share American values.

Happy Birthday, John Lewis. #BlackHistoryMonth

First KC and now USA. Looks like Trump curse.

Imagine saying you were threatened by Chuck Schumer lmao

Kash Patel is a frightening extremist who will be wholly focused on revenge and retribution. Hoeven and Cramer’s votes are COWARDLY!

The context is that Trump is Putin’s bitch.

A story in two parts! Trump denouncing Ukraine & Zelensky, now. Here's the transcript of Trump congratulating President Zelensky on his election victories... and then attempting to extort him. If you want to understand the rationale behind the hate of Ukraine, its because Trump was caught criming.

Cruelty and incompetence in one tidy package.

I love this.

“The Trump administration seems not to realize that the Russians are the ones in trouble, not us; that they are the ones with a faltering economy, a stalemated war, and more than three-quarters of a million casualties.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Now this, I can co-sign.

As Lavrov chats to Rubio in Saudia Arabia, Putin ramps up the war

Trump/Pompeo gave the Taliban what they wanted. Trump/Rubio just sold out the west and saved a dying Russia. Great negotiators, these guys!

What has Putin done to deserve “restoring relations” with the US? He’s an indicted war criminal who has started a war in Europe and who has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people. How is this in the US national interest?

Allowing the administration to define broad swaths of history, programming and civil rights compliance as “DEI” and then regurgitating that language instead of clearly articulating what specifically is being targeted is spreading disinformation and propaganda.

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

🤔

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk, has done more to publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration this week at greater personal cost than any elected official I can think of.

Lil Marco even liddler

Yes. That article was a ridiculous normalizing of outrageous and dangerous behavior.

Tedious to keep pointing this out, but: 1) Trump did NOT get "majority" of vote. (49+%, to KH 48+%). Biden 2020, Obama both times, GWB 2004 most recent w *majority*. 2) Carried House w smallest margin in modern times. 3) He flatly denied even knowing what Proj 2025 was. No Proj2025 'mandate'

There's still time to support school meals for all!

"Gaza development plan" is such an Orwellian turn of phrase, such an abuse of language to normalize a proposed ethnic cleansing

1. It’s WSJ reporter. 2. Even when the Trump Admin fires one of their own, it is The Media’s fault. We made them do it. 3. Americans have a right to know the names of people running the country. 4. This is a time for journos to be fearless because this is part of the deal now.

Thinking a lot of the role of recording dissent, of the role of bearing witness. My mind goes to Sotomayor's Trump immunity dissent. "The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

From Michael Roth, president of Wesleyan University: slate.com/life/2025/02...

This is an important article and sadly chronicles what seems to be the blueprint for today's enabling oligarchs.

Yes, be like Mitch!

Thom Tillis, the new Susan Collins, very concerned. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

it is now extra funny that the guys who needed $1 trillion to train an AI that in retrospect could have been trained for $5 million are now in charge of making the government more cost-effective

Our former gov seems touched by this incredible display of affection.

Maybe MAGA could have a big event outside on Monday to accommodate everyone. The forecast calls for seasonal temps and sunny skies.

This is an article everyone should read: open.substack.com/pub/lyz/p/yo...

America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing. America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
