Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

These cowardly puppets would’ve stayed mute if their guy had blamed Poland for Germany’s 1939 invasion — something not even Adolf Hitler dared to do www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

Here is the ad the Washington Post accepted and then rejected:

And hold an alternative conference with great people like Pete B daily instead

My question is: what are people keeping their powder dry for?

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

Good!

i do not understand what elon and trump would be doing differently if there weren’t themselves actual agents of beijing and moscow

Watch @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social discuss the one of the scariest things I have ever heard, the potential breakdown of federal law. What happens if #ConvictedFelonTrump refuses to respect a court order? Please repost. youtu.be/TjqSeb9GyeI?...

Coward

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

Shame shame shame on them

Thank you, Canada!

Please!!!

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

This would be a good time for all the Republican Senators, Representatives, Governors, State AGs, and Judges I've heard say how pro-law enforcement they are during the course of my career to speak up.

Is any senator, member of Congress, or really anyone in a position of any actual power or authority, going to step up and express outrage with an actual plan to DO SOMETHING? These dipshit social media posts being like “Things are bad and illegal! 🥴” are about to make my head explode

How could this not possibly violate a slew of federal laws?

It has now officially been confirmed. We have reached the singularity

#1 in the 🌎 For the second year running, Los Angeles Public Library is the number one lending library in the world on Overdrive/Libby with over 14 million items borrowed in 2024. We couldn't have done it without you 🫶📚🎉

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

One of Trump’s first moves last week was to gut aviation safety.

We need to pay attention to this now before it’s too late.

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

Amen to this!

Never forget January 6th. Never forget January 6th. Never forget January 6th.

Hey journalists, if you have not already done so, now is the time to file a FOIA request for Mar-a-Lago report so that it can’t be destroyed by new DOJ leaders when they take over. If (when?) dismissal or pardons of co-Ds occur, there will be no legal basis for refusing to comply.
