If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

lol once a cable news host, always a cable news host. leaning into something he actually has experience doing.

You can’t make this shit up.

He nails it.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

FYI…

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

PURE ABUSE OF POWER & EXTORTION: Ukraine was warned it faced an imminent shutdown of Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system unless it signed the extortion deal on rare earth minerals, Reuters reports

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Insanity breeds and this shit becomes normal. Nothing here is “normal.”

NEW: “The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed.” Because who cares about accountability in law enforcement, amirite? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Texas law threatens up to 99 years in prison for providing an abortion. We’re often asked about what happens if a woman doesn’t receive the right medical attention when having a miscarriage. Here you go … Texas banned abortion. Then sepsis rates soared. apple.news/AFdYaEJu-Rsq...

This is why he is such a unique liar - he repeats the lie that has been repeatedly debunked and discredited, even in front of him (as it was in the Oval Office the other day).

Third item on this list: Participate in the boycotts against corporations that have rolled back DEI measures. - Feb. 28th: 24 hour Economic Blackout (theonecalledjai.com) - March 5 - April 17: DEI Boycott of Target for Lent (targetfast.org) Contact your local churches and unions to help.

President Trump is expected to move as soon as this week to fold the Postal Service into the Commerce Department, which experts say would violate laws establishjng the mail agency as independent www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

MLK Jr. was an advocate for economic boycotts. It took the Montgomery Bus Boycott a year to prevail. "Our aim has never been to put the bus company out of business, but rather to put justice in business." Remind Target that bowing down to dictators is bad for business. tinyurl.com/40-days-boycott

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

And there it is

Dark Pence is back.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

This is fantastic! Follow and share @resistancesentinel.bsky.social !!

Are you a federal worker who has been impacted by DOGE, or do you have family members who have been? Have federal programs been cut that you and your community rely on? We want to hear your story.

I feel like the attacks on the Kennedy Center & the JFK library are intended to humiliate RFK Jr. Trump gets off on humiliating people who continue to kiss his ass. I realize the Kennedy fam has pretty much disowned RFK Jr, but it's not like he's got a library or a center named after him.

I can't even. Does anybody even remember when Russia invaded Ukraine? Wasn't it like over 80% of Americans supporting Ukraine? How can Trump now be saying it was Ukraine's fault?

This is 10 years old, so the numbers are out of date, but the principle stands.

The Regime keeps yammering about alleged conflicts of interest in science. Yet RFK Jr. not only has a financial conflict related to vaccines, but perhaps more powerfully, he has a self-image conflict. He. will. not. accept. any. result. that. does. not. prove. him. right.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

Blatant lie. Agencies inform one another of beneficiary deaths and immediately stop payments, and for those with no next of kin to inform, the IG constantly monitors for this. But you’d know that if you didn’t fire all the IGs.

NEW: Despite all appearances, the White House insists that Elon Musk is not in charge of DOGE. US Doge Service employees can't get a straight answer about who is.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

🚨Trump & Musk are coming for your VA benefits. They’re coming for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. We can make it politically untenable—but we need your stories. VoteVets delivers the hardest-hitting ads in politics. Help us fight back. Submit now: votevets.org/doge-tipline

This is so damn messed up. Nobody knows what DOGE is, what DOGE does, what DOGE has the authority to do/doesn’t have the authority to do, who’s in charge of DOGE, etc, etc, etc…and this is all possible bcuz Congress just stopped doing that whole “separation of powers/checks & balances” thing.

More media controlling the narrative—The Washington Post refused to run an ad that said, “Fire Elon Musk.”

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Here's an idea: Don't pass Trump's Tax Scam for the wealthiest among us, including himself and Elon. Amount not added to the debt: $4.5 trillion. Fiscal responsibility!
