While George W. Bush was president, the Coast Guard signed a contract to get admin help from a company in Virginia. It paid $144,000, and the contract was completed by June 30, 2005. Last week, Elon Musk's DOGE claimed it had just canceled the long-dead contract. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

I think it’s going to be very difficult for the House and Senate to reconcile this budget, but trying to force the House Energy and Commerce committee to cut 880 billion is going to kill people. Anyone who says Medicaid won’t be impacted is lying.

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

AOC and a few others are taking this moment—this coup—deadly seriously. AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Elizabeth Warren have risen to the occasion to not just resist legislatively in the near-powerless minority—they have answered the call to FIGHT—to LEAD a mass movement to shut fascists the fuck down.

Anyone want to explain to me how it makes any sense that the US and Russia are trying to negotiate the end to the war in Ukraine without any sort of Ukrainian delegation?

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Russia isn’t our friend. Bush tried. Obama tried. Trump tried during his first term. It’s an admirable goal, but it doesn’t work. No matter how much Trump capitulates to Putin, Russia won’t be our friend.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

Per Trevor Reed: “Ukraine needs to: 1. Ignore the US completely and refuse all US/Russia negotiations 2. Push for Europe to release frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine 3. Make a deal with Europe for continued support 4. Get European troops on the Belarusian border to free up their forces”
