Remember when Senator Banks attacked a president who wasn’t engaged in litigation against almost half a dozen press outlets and stayed silent against one who was?

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

💥 Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has sued Starbucks for its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The lawsuit alleges: "Starbuck’s workface has become more female and less white." (Page 29) WORKFACE? 😳 ago.mo.gov/wp-content/u...

Janet Mills was elected the first woman DA in ME history. Elected 1st woman AG in ME. Won election to state House, reelected 3x. Then 1st woman Gov - won by 20 points. Then reelected in 2022 by 13 points. In other words, far more popular in ME than Trump will ever be.

I hope Germany gives the middle finger to Elon Musk and the AfD Party in their election today. The AfD might not wear swastikas (yet), but their nostalgia for "a simpler time" smells a lot like it could be history’s worst sequel.

Capitalism Is Cannibalizing Itself.

Uh. Holy shit. We always knew and yet.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

This a Key Maine Fact™️ and now K miss home 😭

I am proud that my law firm is currently litigation 48 voting and election cases in 18 states.

📌Our Park Service Rangers have flagged the warning on El Capitan. We are under threat by an America-attacking felon.

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

> DeJoy warned that the post office, which has lost more than $100bn since 2007, must continue to cut costs or will remain on the path to either a “government bailout or the end of this great organization as we know it” THE POST OFFICE IS A PUBLIC SERVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED LIKE A FOR PROFIT

Tennessee houseparent of a christian ranch for children, Dale Burbank, has been arrested for the rape of a child. www.newschannel5.com/news/65-year...

I wrote about how, at a moment where so much insane shit is happening and so many people are trying to deny it, writing it down is a radical act: dansinker.com/posts/202…

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

Batman villain Emil Bove is Donald Trump’s hatchet man in the Department of Justice. The great @lizdye.bsky.social unpicks his past and his ruthless knifing of former colleagues. Move over Scarecrow and Riddler. It’s the hour of The Apostate! airmail.news/issues/2025-...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Here’s the email everyone is getting from OPM. Embarrassing stuff.

I'll plan to be out there picketing with Manhattan #TeslaTakeDown folks in the next couple of weeks. Onward!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

Elon’s wealth has grown more than ALL the financial aid America has given Ukraine- JUST SINCE THE ELECTION. Thanks to you and me and our hard earned tax dollars. www.ukraineoversight.gov/Funding/#:~:....

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

This. Is. Insane.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government.

Former flag officers speaking up. The political firings at the top in the military must stop. They know how this will harm our national security.

"The court kept the order in place while at the same time staying the Trump administration’s application in place — essentially punting on the issue." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Amen to that.

Vaccines are so effective they have practically eradicated some of the worst diseases, from rabies to polio and smallpox—a fact that has possibly fooled some into believing that the viruses and their complications aren’t a significant threat for the average, health-conscious individual.

I don’t who needs to hear this before the weekend but— You’re an adult. You can drunk dial your Senators whenever you want. Literally nothing is stopping you. WH: (202) 224-3121

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...
