This clip really should be viewed in full. Trump in full mob boss mode, threatening not only to withhold funds from a governor's state but to ruin her personally. This is the fascist threat so many have screamed about for years. Long past time to take him literally. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

I've never seen so many mobilizations, rallies and actions, honestly. They're happening pretty constantly, in cities but also in small towns and in every single state. They're not getting tons of coverage, but they're happening, and they're growing. Join one, or start one, you're not alone in this.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

VP JD Vance and Elon Musk have challenged decades-long approaches to political extremism that were designed to prevent another Hitler. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Well, it’s not like there have been any recent forest-related emergencies that might require more Forest Service people. 🤷‍♂️

Inflation, gas and food prices climb under Trump. What happened to fixing it on day one? Perhaps he's too busy planning the Trump-branded hotels and casinos he wants to build in Gaza. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Trump better unleash his DOGE dog on deportation. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

Elon Musk degrades federal workers as he delights in putting them out of work. It's sadistic. These Americans shouldn’t be mocked, or have the guy firing them running around making "harry balls" jokes like a rich prat. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Never understood why Dems don't leverage the same tools...why don't just post & detail what they know just like Elon Musk is doing?

right?

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.

The world in 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Germans oppose neo-fascism. The top aide to the president of the United States supports it. apnews.com/article/germ...

Amid today’s massive NIH cuts to universities, please know that my research colleagues: - Develop new cancer treatments for kids - Are curing sickle cell disease - Build new tech to help premature babies survive - Prevent teens from dying of drug overdose - And more #NIH #MedSky #research #science

Great piece by my colleague @bychrisbrennan.bsky.social: “Trump has AG Bondi targeting 'anti-Christian bias.' One problem: There's no bias.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

huh, i wonder what this is about www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Totally normal stuff, folks. Nothing to worry about.

North Korea, Russia, Cuba…

BREAKING: Judge temporarily block Trump's adm from putting USAID workers on leave. apnews.com/live/trump-p...

Arizona AG Kris Mayes is right. Trump has the authority to pursue his policies, but not to break the law and U.S Constitution. At this point, the judiciary is my only hope. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

My take on how Mexico and Canada outsmarted Trump to back off his 25% tariff for 30 days. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

We know that a lot of produce we get at the grocery store come from Mexico. But do you know what it takes to get them there? We visited Nogales port of entry where nearly 8B pounds of produce pass through. Here's just glimpse of a distribution warehouse. www.azcentral.com/videos/opini...

The ads write themselves. “Donald Trump has given Elon Musk control of your Social Security check,” over footage of Elon’s salute, a flaming Tesla, and Starship wreckage crashing to Earth.

I've been writing about this for months and now it's official. Trump is slapping Mexico, Canada & China with tariffs, just as he said he would do. 👇👇👇 www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...
