Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

“As Trump attempts to remake the federal government into an instrument of destruction, we must both hold the line on our federal courts and also turn to state courts as a critical defense for our civil rights, health and safety.”

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

Worth a listen to what Al Green says after he was removed from the chamber.

WATCH: Complete Democratic Response from Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin.

Donald Trump is lying to you.

"Trump would've lost us the Cold War." — Senator Elisa Slotkin

I swear to God every woman knows this exchange

Mike Johnson threatens to kick out disrupters

Crockett: I want to be clear about one thing. Women's issues, they are all of our issues. Because the last time I checked, we all came from a woman.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that ANYONE who can't easily admit that Russia invaded Ukraine is a Putin bootlicker, a Russian stooge, and a moronic fucking asshole. Russia invaded Ukraine, folks. PERIOD. h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

We found the real fraud.

My Monday analysis of everything democracy-related that happened over the weekend will be sent straight to Democracy Docket member inboxes soon. Join now to receive. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Freeland: As prime minister, I will fight back with retaliatory tariffs and our retaliation is going to be surgically targeted to create the maximum pressure on The White House.. An example of a measure that I will put in place as prime minister is 100% tariffs on Teslas.

Now they're bribing people to resign because they know how legally difficult it is to fire people.

BREAKING via Fox News The United States is pausing all US military aide to Ukraine due to the “conduct” of President Zelenskyy over the past week.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

Per @politicalwire.com Trump Nat'l Security Advisor Mike Waltz said “What we need to hear from President Zelensky is that he has regret for what happened, he’s ready to sign this mineral deal & that he’s ready to engage in peace talks. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.” I certainly think it is.

This is the Dems secret weapon. Funny !!!

Taking over an institution, asset-stripping it, and selling it for parts. Usually the victim is company, but this time it's our government.

“Clients have the right to access their lawyer without interference by the government. Lawyers must be free to represent clients and perform their ethical duty without fear of retribution.” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Wait, what? Did Donald Trump just say that Zelensky won't be around very long? Wtf.

Great news for money launderers!

I am done apologizing.

Glad to see the American Bar Association standing for the rule of law. All lawyers can safeguard these principles. You can read the statement here.

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

Democrats hold the line. Do NOT agree to fund DOGE.

This is so fucking tragic. Today Europe is completely united behind Ukraine and the cause of freedom. Meanwhile the United States is sitting this one out along with Russia and Iran. Make it make sense.

i don’t think dems should attend the trump speech on tuesday. skip it! youtube.com/shorts/w2mTb...

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

i expect the markets to have a totally chill reaction to this
