Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Meine Wahlempfehlung.

From United Humanists on FB

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

We need to create a culture of solidarity. Boycotts and strikes are effective. February 28th, join us.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

This is resistance.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

To the 30 folks that might see this. YOU MATTER

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

I'm just saying...

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

The new chairman of the FTC wants to investigate cENsORsHiP on social platforms and boy do I have a platform for them! www.platformer.news/ftc-censorsh...

Don't hold back now.

POTUS can NOT “merge” USPS with another department 🚨 UNCONSTITUTIONAL 🚨 Postal Service is an independent agency via congressional legislation, and Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 explicitly grants Congress the power to "to establish Post Offices and post Roads." m.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lg...

The worst vice president ever.

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

WOOHOO! A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered….I’m sure everything will be perfectly fine 😬 www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Thank you for speaking up! My granddaughters only go to school 4 days a week. 💯 We rent our house and my kids live paycheck to paycheck, with up to a 40 minute drive just to get to work. It's a lot of gas. Where's the cheap fuckin gas??? My fellow rural folks that voted for the 🍊🍕💩 can fuck off!

Jessica: There was a huge drop in support for President Trump and for Elon Musk. Trump’s approval rating is down 5-7 points across four of these big polls. He’s underwater on managing the economy by 8 points. Did you see those town halls? Rich McCormick were booing him.

Flight out of Hartford to Jamaica this morning - 3 I.C.E. agents checking passports. People going TO Jamaica. Doesn't seem like the best use of resources.

Elon Musk is not going after efficiency. He's not going after making these things better for people. He's trying to STEAL medicaid so that he can enrich himself. We will work in the streets, in the courrts... We will resist. We will prevail. We outnumber them. AMERICA IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!!

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Happy Friday! This is the resistance. Cause some Good Trouble today!

when you've (already) lost Larry Kudlow ...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

True.

To Senator Susan Collins: The President of the United States just threatened your State. Time to choose sides. Are you of Maine? Who do you represent? There is no middle ground.

Dear MAGA Republicans, What did you think was going to happen? MAGA Republicans are regretting their vote! Listen to this incredible caller from West Virginia.

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

Let me know if you agree Trump deserves to be called out! 💙
