Ummm…👇 The more you know…💫

Let ‘em have it, Bernie. God protect this man. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VTO3...

“Maga wants to starve the bureaucracy. But it still wants money. And with the wealthiest awaiting gigantic tax breaks, they need it from the rest of us…..why should we pay taxes?” apple.news/AVqTqKbnCQHu...

Judge Ho appointed Paul Clement, the conservative solicitor general under George W. Bush. Liberals will like the process more than that selection. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

The $115,000 Common Cause sponsored ad the Washington Post suddenly, without explanation, wouldn’t publish.

We have GOT to get this child out of our country’s national affairs.

The goal of all Trump’s proposals is all about first getting regulatory heat off of Musk as payback to Musk for his helping Trump, but also about setting up business deals that include taking over potential development property (Gaza), or minerals and resources (Canada, Greenland, Ukraine).

This is how he, Fox, and his blackmailed accomplices keep up the narrative that vilifies Dems and Libs. Meanwhile, Musk helped him evade jail, and Musk gets unbridled socialism from taxpayers in return. He’s neutered 12 agencies that were in his way. m.youtube.com/watch?v=OwhF...

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

“It took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours & 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. …when the 5-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.” - Gov. Pritzker, 2.19.25

Trump posts a fake Time magazine cover with a crown on his head and a headline calling himself a king, while falsely attacking President Zelensky—who is courageously fighting for his country’s survival—as a dictator. This is sick and disgusting rejection of basic human values.

Whether it’s women he assaults, people he defrauds, police officers defending the Capitol, or countries invaded by murderous dictators, Trump always blames the victims.

Since 2009, how many American airliners crashed before Trump came into office? ZERO. When does Trump start taking responsibility for the next plane crash?

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Was wondering how every R in power has caved to a POS like Trump, then I recalled the Ashley Madison data breach. Adult Friend Finder was breached the same year, 2015. It’s like the mob was getting ready to tell everybody who they work for now, or else. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_...?

The cost to repair our government systems and institutions that keep things healthy, safe, and fair is going to far outweigh the Trump / Musk/ MAGA phony, performative “waste” eliminations.

Trump has abandoned our commitment to our allies, and has allowed appeasement of a violent enemy not seen since the 1930s. After his capitulation to Putin, Poland, the Baltics, and Finland are next. — Ret Gen. Barry McCaffrey We’re giving Putin everything. — Michael McFaul
