The actual DOGE "savings," if we ever get an accurate accounting which isn't looking promising, would amount to a ridiculously trivial amount per taxpayer. But that's part of why they're not doing an accurate accounting. They want to dole out a few hundred bucks and call it DOGE money regardless.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Hate to break it to you, Senator, but Trump is not Neville Chamberlain. As misguided and naive as Chamberlain was, he was at least acting in good faith and in what he believed was the cause of peace. Trump is Joachim von Ribbentrop—or worse.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Since the election, other media figures and outlets have followed suit — each in their own way, each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly. As ratings and circulation rates suffer the financial risks do as well. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The co-occupant of the Oval Office is a sexually abusing, business defrauding, draft dodging, convicted felon who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. He is a predator. Not a president. #PresidentsDay

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

On Thursday, Trump and Musk tried to fire 300 government nuclear officials. Today, they realized those officials oversee the US nuclear arsenal — and they scurried to rehire the officials.

Trump is running America like a business. Like the 6 businesses he drove into bankruptcy -- and the 60 more that failed and shut down.

67 fake bomb threats on Election Day 2024. Almost all of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — which had lower turnout than in 2020. Many of the threats were clearly traced to Russia. And the mainstream media and establishment have somehow COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

This fact sheet on the White House website lists bullet point items of what it alleges are “waste and abuse” at USAID. I was curious what they came up with. Actually every link is to articles at Daily Mail, Breitbart and Washington examiner. www.whitehouse.gov/uncategorize...

When someone expresses genuine regret voting for Trump, the best thing we can do is welcome them into the fold. We're not gonna get anywhere with ridiculous gatekeeping and pettiness. Let's offer folks an off-ramp into the coalition of reasonable adults.

And people rushed to save crucial scientific, educational, historical, arts, public health, and disaster preparedness information in multiple languages on the Wayback Machine web archive?

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Trump released dozens of rapists, murderers, domestic terrorists, pedophiles, child porn creators, sexual abusers, domestic abusers and various violent felons. I don't want to hear Trump or any MAGA ever talk about law and order again. Not ever. Never. www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...
