While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Here’s what Democrats did today (February 14):

It's very cute how Mitch McConnell is doing his little protest votes on Trump nominations now that he's one foot in the grave. He had more power than anyone to stop Trump from ever becoming president again by pushing to convict him in the Senate four years ago but he was too big of a coward.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

As best you can, ignore him.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

Remember Joe Biden ended his presidency with these numbers: 2.9% inflation. 4.1% unemployment. 43k Dow Jones. Manufacturing boom. Gaza ceasefire. Medicare D $2k prescription drug cap. Infrastructure boom. Fastest economic recovery. Covid handled.

Ok, here's a good news story. Go otters!

Thank you @kat4obama.bsky.social Evil has a big fan base but no actual mandate. Keep the faith.

The evidence in the case of Donald Trump illegally seeking to cling to power after losing the 2020 election would have been sufficient to convict him, had his 2024 win not made it impossible for the prosecution to continue, Jack Smith, the special counsel, said in a final report. nyti.ms/4aeAn7t

They got the idea from Ronald Reagan, who got Iran to agree not to release the hostages until he was president, who got the idea from Richard Nixon, who got South Vietnam to agree not to agree to peace before he was president. Who cares if Americans get killed? Republicans wanted power.

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Get ready to fight, be active in your community and on your school board, run at the state and federal levels, find your way to be part of the solution, and remain accurately informed. We're past debating the current administration, the election, and the failure of the MSM. We're where we are now.
