Aspen Hill, MD today

Al the work that went into holding the police accountable for needlessly executing Black people is being undone. This is just the start of their revenge planning. www.axios.com/2025/02/21/d...

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

To explain: Judge Ho has said, "I'm canceling the trial for now, eliminating one thing DOJ was complaining about, and instead I've asked a super conservative judge who can argue this to SCOTUS successfully to argue against the govt for me." Brilliant move.

"They're buying more social media companies. They want to buy more television stations. They want to buy more radio channels. They want to consolidate more and more power, and more and more mass media, and make them in their image." 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

🔁 Missed my Instagram Live with @RepUnderwood yesterday? We broke down the threats to Medicaid and what’s at stake. Catch the full replay here! youtu.be/W_LbgrD78os

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Trump and Musk may believe they're Roman emperors, but their reckless actions could soon bring America's modern empire crashing down, says Russell Jones

“It’s the American people vs the Billionaires.” w/ @briantylercohen.bsky.social

DNC intervenes in North Carolina Supreme Court fight, accuses GOP of trying to "steal an election": DNC Chair Ken Martin accused North Carolina Republicans of trying to "steal an election in plain sight"

Elon Musk just moved ANOTHER $1 MILLION into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. That brings Musk’s spending on behalf of a right-wing takeover of the court to 2.5 MILLION over one week. This is a major intervention in state politics—and the fight for control of the judiciary—by the world’s richest man.

Appearing today in The Week:

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

Canada, Europe, Japan etc should actively recruit US citizens to immigrate. I understand there are lot of skilled, well educated people out of work under Trump, who might like to live in a democracy again.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

“Judge Martin shouldn’t be adjudicating parking tickets, let alone First Amendment cases.” www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

THIS is NOT how we treat our allies: Bessant giving Zelenskyy one hour to sign a document that would give the US ownership of half of Ukraine's rare earth minerals is absurd, and it's a shakedown. Watch the full @therickwilson.bsky.social rant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRZW...

NEW: @democracyforward.org requests expedited discovery in their lawsuit to block DOGE from accessing Department of Labor data. If granted, this would be the first case that collects evidence on how the faux-agency operates within the federal government.

A USAID contracting officer (who for obvious reasons is not disclosing her identity) says a company named after its founder Philip Green almost got its federal contract cancelled because the fools at DOGE thought it had something to do with "green" energy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Elon is wrong a lot and sometimes it’s because he’s ignorant and sometimes it’s because he’s lying and sometimes it’s because he would rather turn his ignorance into an attack than admit he’s wrong. Sort of like Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Let's check in on Trump's first month in office! (Gift link: wapo.st/434l8fD )

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.
