So dumb it’s funny!! Elon Musks Gork speaks a little truth and he is caught lying! When asked what fraud has Doge found in the government it says that’s murky! When asked for receipts of wasteful spending they found multiple errors and inflamed numbers. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

A Republican: "At an open house in Fairbanks on Monday, Alaskan Congressman Nick Begich (R) told constituents that there was nothing he could do to stop agency budget cuts being implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk."

Everyone is sad, angry and scared. I get it. Me too. Democracy thrives on our resilience. Staying in the fight is crucial, but let’s not forget the most important person in this equation: YOU!Self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. We need to rest to be well-equipped to keep marching forward.

The Trump administration is fully engaged in a drive to eliminate virtually any government activity or mention related to climate change—with a few notable exceptions, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

Dear #Canadians 🇨🇦- do not allow to normalize Tumpian idiocy in Canada! That's a slipper slope. Just look how that ended in the USA! 🇺🇲 Protest NOW! CBC Ombudsman: cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman... CRTC: crtc.gc.ca/eng/contact/... Leave a message with CBC Audience Relations: 1 (866) 306-4636

. Tired of the chaos in DC? Tune it out and tune in to your own community. Real change starts with your neighborhood your school board your city council. & no you don’t have to do it all. Just pick ONE thing and show up. That’s how you make an impact. THATS HOW ACTUAL REAL CHANGE HAPPENS! .

Suddenly, it all makes sense, doesn’t it?! 👇 Trump. Is. A. Russian. Agent. ✨

"We cannot have a viable political system that relies on extraordinarily brave people—because there aren’t enough of them." Don't underestimate the intimidation factor in Republican acquiescence. @monacharen.bsky.social from the archives:

Sign of the day…#DefendDemocracy

A brief word today at the end of the fifth horrific week of Trump 2.0. We are witnessing the transformation of our democracy into a dictatorship (or, as Trump enjoyed promoting this week, a monarchy). https://robertreich.substack.com/p/from-democracy-to-dictatorship

Agent Krasnov at your service mr Putin.

NO. Democrats must NOT negotiate with republicans to fund what Trump is doing. We should WEILD the power of the slim majority to DEMAND individual agency funding bills. There is NO REASON to allow the GOP to fund the dismantling of our government. Make THEM fund it properly or make THEM shut it down

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week? To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

Collins is once again concerned. So, what is she going to do about it?

Federal employees don’t “work for” Elon Musk

🔥

(S) These 3 Democratic governors aren’t holding back as they confront Trump head-on, standing firm against his assault on the American people, democracy, and the rule of law.

Several Trump administration officials leading federal agencies urged their employees not to comply with Elon Musk’s order to summarize their accomplishments for the past week or be removed from their positions, even as Musk doubled down on the demand over the weekend.

Trump & his admin. are firing people who keep us all healthy & safe How much danger are they willing to put people in? A lot! I explained @michaelsteele.bsky.social @aliciamenendez.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social 👇

We should send newly confirmed expert, RFK Jr. to Wuhan so he can expose himself to this new virus and let us know if everything is ok. If he looks good after a few months they can send him back home! 😜 I’m sure he wouldn’t want to endanger anyone with vaccines! www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Score: Mills 1, Trump 0. She’s 100% right on the law. Trump’s “We ARE the law” was way, way over the top. No, Mr. President, you are not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I'll tell you what I didn't get done last week. I didn't fire every federal employee and/or agency investigating my companies for unethical and illegal conduct. You?

Russia started this war by brutally invading a sovereign democracy and claiming innocent lives. You will not rewrite history. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

My parents- before i was born. It was WW2. My dad was proud to be in the Royal Canadian Navy.

Trump’s second-term honeymoon is ending fast. His approval is plummeting, his policies are unpopular, and even some Republicans are pushing back. The cracks are showing, and there’s no hiding it. Catch up on the latest with The Big Picture's 'Week In Wins.'

NEW: Federal government employees are sending me ideas for how to respond to Musk's OPM "Five Bullets" email. My latest: #Emails2DOGE www.muellershewrote.com/p/federal-wo...

Pope Francis, in critical condition with a complicated lung infection, rested well during a peaceful night following a respiratory crisis and blood transfusions, the Vatican said Sunday.

Can't imagine where they got the idea, but earlier in the week, the White House comms director posted (and then reposted) this.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin claimed job cuts were necessary to stop wasteful spending.
