đź’Ą Judge slams Trump's threats against corporations' DEI initiatives: "as the Supreme Court has made clear time and time again, the government cannot rely on the 'threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion' to suppress disfavored speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

This is beyond inhumane, it amounts to crimes against humanity. This is what trans women go through if they’re put in men’s prisons. It’s calls V-Coding and it’s a tough read, but do it anyway so you know what America has become. www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Good Morning Everyone (ty @cwebbonline.com ) Please take a moment to listen Please take a moment and be like this great guy.... Please take a moment to remember Amanda Gorman said " IF ONLY WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SEE IT." "IF ONLY WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE IT "

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Great to see the judge in the Eric Adams case appoint amicus to weigh in on DOJ’s motion to dismiss.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

BREAKING Judge Daniel Ho has declined to dismiss the federal criminal case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He has, however, postponed his trial indefinitely and appointed Paul Clement of Clement & Murphy PLLC to argue against the government’s case for dismissal.

Damn- with all the justified outrage about Trump banning the AP, Steve Knapp writes in the TN Conservative News about how the Capitol Hill press corps unanimously votes against us and helps Sexton keep us out here in Tennessee.

F47 & House GOP lied when promising to lower costs for American families. They’ll rip healthcare from millions of Americans to pay for their giveaway to big corporations & the rich! #DontCutMyMedicaid Find the impact in your community: social.demcast.com/s/M4Of1I4h

One other brilliant aspect of Judge Ho appointing Scalia clerk Paul Clement as his amicus: It'll make it FAR HARDER for Emil Bove to conduct his "weaponization" witchunt targeting (among others) Scalia clerk Danielle Sassoon.

A fellow boxing coach just replied with this after I sent him an article on Measles:

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

Met an old lady on line at the pharmacy and she told me “I’m a Christian woman so I don’t say this lightly, I’m terrified that the Antichrist in office is going to steal my social security.”

“It isn’t just the services it provides—it’s the jobs, the path into the middle class, and the glue that holds communities together.” In 2020, Philip F. Rubio wrote about what was at stake with Donald Trump’s attacks on the Postal Service: theatln.tc/T689JHBP

If Russia invaded the U.S. would you be fine with giving them the east coast to hasten an end to the dying? I didn’t think so.

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Math is hard

Good follow.

I’m so old I remember when Republicans in MO were fighting the REAL ID program cause they didnt want the feds to get their info. Now? Sure King Elon, take all our personal data from IRS and Social Security.

As Trump lies about Ukraine starting a war, it would be a very good time for the Republicans in Congress who know better to speak up. (Looking at you Roger, Lindsay, Tom, Joni, Deb, Mike, Dan).

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

joining @nicollewallace.bsky.social at the top of the hour. @msnbc.com

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I was ecstatic to hear Sen Slotkin talk about being ruthless. We now have her, AOC, and Sen Murphy. Where are the rest of them?

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Donald Trump having Elon Musk harass Boeing to make the two new Air Force One jets faster shows two things: 1) He just wants to ride around on them and waste more taxpayer money going to golf. 2) He clearly doesn’t care about aviation safety. Not for himself, and certainly not for the rest of us.

The odds are better for the Chicago White Sox to win the World Series than for Susan Collins to grow a spine and challenge the Trump-Musk power grab on federal spending.

Trump claims control over historically independent agencies: For more than a century, Congress has entrusted many policy areas to agencies that the president does not directly control. President Trump, with an executive order Tuesday night, seeks to change that. Why it matters: The order claims…

This is a deeply embarrassing and useless document from the DNC Chair.

Some long-term costs are already becoming clear. Others will appear sooner or later, sometimes from unexpected places. That's the kind of chaos you can expect when you crack open a complex adaptive system, like human societies or the environment, without understanding it.

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.

Trump just said in response that Zelenskyy is a "Dictator without Elections." That is not true.
