When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

America is NOT impressed by what Musk is doing: open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

Last night in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, I used presidential polling numbers to show that Trump isn't inevitable. We can find our way out of this. joycevance.substack.com/p/on-being-i...

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

This.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Retired high school English teacher here and I’ve been saying this since 2016. Why didn’t my Dem leadership listen to me and simplify the messaging? Duh!! 😡

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

NEW VIDEO: News that DOGE is now seeking to access the most sensitive information in the IRS' database has lead to a new lawsuit by @democracyforward.org. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4ua...

This is a coup.

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the entire free world.

This is unheard of in American history. Absolutely insane in peace time.

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

Good morning, Bluesky 🌞💙☕

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

"“The LLS fellowship is the best of the best. It is the most elite fellowship in the country for training public health scientists,” says one LLS fellow who received a termination notice."

Facts

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

“This week, Donald Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting a war against a much larger neighbor,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side … Repeating lies, however, does not make them true.”

🇺🇸🇺🇦 VoteVets stands with Ukraine. Putin’s war isn’t just about Ukraine—it’s about global security. If we abandon Ukraine, US Troops could be the ones fighting next. Supporting Ukraine means defending democracy and keeping Americans safe. We know what’s at stake. We won’t back down.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau exists to protect Americans from predatory lenders, junk fees, and fraud. Shutting it down does nothing more than give sketchy companies a free pass to prey on the public. We’re not going to let that happen.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Alaska has the fourth-highest number of federal workers per capita—fish & game, forestry, and more—their jobs are being cut under the excuse of “poor performance.” Lisa Murkowski knows that’s a lie—so why won’t she just say, it’s a lie. Collins, Burchett, and the rest are just giving lip service.

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

Gotta love the British press! 🇬🇧
