Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

They fired a top Black general and are replacing him with a much less-qualified white general. They’re not hiding the racism.

Kudos to Gov. Janet Mills of Maine for standing up to Trump. He threatened loss of federal funds for her state simply because it allows trans girls to play in sports. She said, “See you in court.” Trump is a weak, shallow, callous leader who wants desperately to be a despot. #BullyPolPot

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...

Kanye West has gone full Nazi. Full full Nazi. But I don't see any of the top House Democrats who obsessed over alleged antisemitic student protesters on campus - Torres, Gottheimer, Moskowitz, Goldman, Fetterman, etc - calling out Trump and the GOP for their one-time alliance with Kanye. WHY?
