An embarrassed Vance lashed out because Zelenskyy rightly told him Putin has shown he can’t be trusted to respect a cease fire or peace deal — and pointed out Vance has never set foot in Ukraine.

who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?

Repulsive. And of course Z started out by saying thank you twice.

Shorter JD Vance: “It’s rude to call me on my lies in public”

Musk is a danger to democracy

I appreciate the deep reporting here but would add one thing: This isn’t just an attack on the federal workforce. It’s an assault on the entire country. We ALL rely on government services that Musk is paralyzing. The impact of his cuts will only grow more horrific. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

Exclusive: “Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon…” www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Second time in a week Musk has targetted Indivisible, this time posting a picture of me and Leah. To quote @jasmineforus.bsky.social, he can fuck off. We'll keep organizing.

Think about this for a hot second

How Elon Musk planned for DOGE: Our investigation found that he raised the idea in 2023, becoming fixated on gaining insider access to federal systems. By Dec., he chose USDS as a landing place, and future DOGE members began applying for jobs there. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...

How it started/How it's going

A century ago the ADL got its start primarily to combat Henry Ford's promotion of extreme antisemitism. Today the ADL put together an ETF to encourage Jews to invest in the Neonazi auto baron's company forward.com/news/700072/...

I think about this headline all of the time.

Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Rubio.

"... @wired.com gained 62,500 new subscribers in the US during the first two weeks of February alone... " THIS is how you succeed in this media environment -- with hard-hitting, fearless, differentiated reporting on the biggest stories in the world. apnews.com/article/elon...

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Bezos' recent choices are part of a 40+ year conservative and corporatist war on informed consensus, turning the entirety of U.S. media and journalism into an engagement chasing infotainment slop and distraction machine

Jeff Bezos has decided to use the opinion section of The Washington Post to cheerlead for the billionaire class because he believes that oligarchy does not have enough defenders in American media.

anyone opposed to government transparency is a criminal, but also no transparency allowed when right-wingers are illegally dismantling the government bsky.app/profile/kept...

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

An unvaccinated school-age child has died of measles in West Texas, the first known death from an outbreak of the disease that is spreading in the state and in neighboring New Mexico, officials said on Wednesday. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Why the fuck is this turd wearing a fucking hat at a cabinet meeting? Such white trash.

The Washington Post and LA Times editorial pages have gone full MAGA, MSNBC has purged all of its anti-Trump anchors, and Twitter is owned by a literal Nazi. Here's why liberal media bias is still a problem.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

Grijalva is recuperating from lung cancer treatments. Petterson had a baby three weeks ago. Wilson has been habitually absent this year. No idea on Mullin. There are three hard no votes on the budget, which would make it 214-214. If any of these Dems show up it gets even harder for Republicans.

Excited about the new MSNBC lineup! 6a-10a: Morning Joe 10a-12: Suddenly, Mika! 12-2p: The Carville Carnival 2p-4p: Paul Ryan Reports 4p-6p: Afternoon Joe
