Nothing more annoying to me than people thinking what ever performative thing Dems did at Trump's rant is what going to save the Republic. It's just colossally stupid.

Mockler: If Elon Musk were watching, what would you say to him? Frost: Get a life. Thanks for showing the world that money can’t make you any less pathetic than you actually are.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Key takeaway from DOGE: There’s less government fraud/waste than expected.

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

This MF’er just brought Andrew Tate, a rapist and human trafficker, to Florida! 🤬 The hypocrisy is astounding!

Rapper Eminem tells fans to shout “F*ck Trump” during his concert. 💀

We finally fixed illegal immigration (nobody wants to come here anymore)

Wtf?

Welcome to fascism, because that’s what fascists do. Maybe more democrats should have voted for the email lady & black lady when it mattered instead of electing King Trump “in protest.”🤦‍♂️

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“For them, DEI is… the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position.” Scott Lemieux on the Trump administration’s crusade against diversity. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/02/for-...

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

“They’re setting us up for economic decline.” America's scientific leadership is now being dismantled by the Trump administration, warn federal workers. And it's Americans who will bear the brunt. New from @karenhao.bsky.social www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

LMAO this is almost word-for-word what Jeffries said multiple times during his press conference on Friday, but somehow folks like Ken Klippenstein managed to deceptively cut clips removing all that.

This kind of ends of it. The MSM will not even let citizens pay to speak out against a private citizen who has taken over our government and is firing thousands of workers who live within 100 miles of the paper’s city. Bowing and scraping it’s way into irrelevance.

Oh boy

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.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Amen.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

PLEASE share this sentiment with every white Harris voter you know. PLEASE.

I think what he’s saying is he’s about to grab the country by the p*ssy and when you’re a star, Republicans in Congress let you do it.
