The Washington Post wouldn’t need to write headlines like this if it hadn’t normalized Trump for the last decade.

Remember his face. One of the many faces of treason.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Alina Habba, who is ostensibly a lawyer, claims on Fox & Friends that Trump "made the law" with his executive orders (executive orders are not laws -- only Congress can make laws)

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.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

...

Concentration Camps. Let’s call these what they’re intended to be.

ny times, the most well financed, praised news source on the planet, able to influence govts, institutions, etc: "here's some lie, dont fact check it, just trust us" me, who failed high school geometry, googling while waiting for a burger: "yeah, that's not true." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

after i called out the @nytimes.com on bluesky and in my story for @dailykos.com the ny times has FINALLY added a correction. we caught them in the act. they tried to hide it. then we exposed them more. and now they've reacted again.

Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media.

The Washington Post wants us to think that some MAGA fascists aren’t as bad as other MAGA fascists. Thanks a pantload, WaPo.

You can’t make this shit up

If you haven't yet, make an account with Social Security dot gov. See how much you've paid into SS over your lifetime. It's YOUR money that you've loaned to the government until your retirement. It's not a fucking "entitlement" beyond the fact that only YOU are entitled to it. Elon Musk is not.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

@NYTimes @washingtonpost.com if you’re listening:

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Superb piece by my friend @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social about supporting foreign criticism of Trump's America. It's not unpatriotic of us to feel this way. It's a rejection of fascism and an endorsement of the need for freedom around the world.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Did you know there is a Project 2025 tracker that shows about 1/3 of the goals have been complete already?? For real. www.project2025.observer

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

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"

Watch this clip, folks 👇 Does Bannon sound like he's joking about Trump becoming dictator for life? Because he isn't.

She is on 🔥 🔥

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

One of President Trump's anti-congestion pricing mouthpieces has a notable conflict of interest: Her husband owns more than a dozen parking garages in the very part of Manhattan where driving has been reduced by the toll.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Truth

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

King Jong Un thinks Stephen Miller is laying it on a little thick here

just wait until the February bloodbath jobs numbers hit. 📉📉📉

remarkable that the White House cannot just say that Putin is responsible for Putin's war

A Chicago Tribune editorial scolds IL Gov. J.B. Pritzker for his supposedly “premature” comparison of the rise of Trumpism with the rise of Nazism in Germany. Apparently the Trib wants everyone to wait until Trump gets even more authoritarian before speaking out. Which might be too late. 🧵 1/2
