A quote from Paul Wellstone, "We all do better when we all do better." Well, for our fellow countrymen who depend on Medicaid or SNAP, life just got a lot worse. And life is worse for all of us.

The Rule of Law should not bend for MAGA. Plain and simple.

The anchor ripped her own network’s “indefensible” moves.

Delta: A cautionary word Well and good to praise them for supporting DEI, BUT Delta's Ramp and Cargo, Baggage Handlers, Ground Crew are trying to unionize again with IAM, BUT Delta is an OBSTACLE. DEI? About 85% are people of color with no pensions, low wages, etc. Delta, ACT on your DEI values.

We are MORE than consumers. We are warriors for democracy. We can NOT be placated with shopping our way through this coup.

Any pause in fighting in Ukraine would allow Russia to rebuild its forces and launch a confrontation with EU countries, Latvia's state security service warned today, as US President Donald Trump launches peace talks with the Kremlin.

Most accurate description yet, although I do like "El golfo de gringo loco," a lot.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

While Elon Musk benefits from billions of dollars in government contracts, thousands of federal workers are now jobless just three weeks into Trump's second term. @katiephang.bsky.social kicks off the #KatiePhangShow with the latest. Tune in now! @msnbc.com

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

'Yale Law School should be embarrassed': Vance slammed for latest legal blunder: On Friday, February 7, 19 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit arguing that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Tesla/Space-X CEO Elon Musk, had no right to access sensitive U.S. Treasury…

Movie of the Week: The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen), 2006 Awards: 10 Deutscher Filmpreis, BAFTA, and Oscar for Best Foreign Film, 2006 Film depicts life under the Stasi in East Germany (DDR). Remind yourself of why we resist; why freedom shouldn't be taken for granted; what's at stake.

My cousin's partner has had to make this choice the last 20 years. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

So what's new? NO competent person, let alone one of integrity, has been nominated for ANY position by this administration.

Going after a fellow representative, oh, wait, the white guy attacking an immigrant, person of color and a woman. Ticked all 3 boxes, didn't this abhorrent human.

The latest from @dell.bsky.social @wired.com: A lawsuit alleges that Elon Musk’s "associates illegally connected a server [at OPM] to a government network for the purposes of harvesting information, including the names and email accounts of federal employees." www.wired.com/story/federa...

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

“Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.” - @dworkin.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

ATTN: it might be a good idea to freeze your credit with all three agencies now that Musk has all your info. I froze mine long ago and it’s pretty easy to unfreeze temporarily if you need to.

“China and Russia are literally trying to hack us every day, and we just gave all this data over to somebody that’s not been properly vetted,” one of the OPM staffers said. “So it’s multiple vulnerability points.”

I wonder what Captain Chaos and Colonel Teslax are up to today in the Computer Lab with Wrench?

Canada and Mexico are our friends and the mad king of our nation has turned on them and is hurting them in our name. We should be furious not just for what he’s doing to us but also to what he’s doing to them.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us. I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

Compared with any other major country, the United States has been extremely fortunate in its two immediate neighbors, Canada and Mexico. Now, incredibly, it is declaring economic war on both of them. This is a war no one can win, and from which tens of millions will lose. This is insanity.

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

For all our American neighbours who may be struggling to find accurate health information - thr Public Health Agency of Canada has a website you are more than welcome to use: www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Boom!! That’s how it’s done!! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦

NEW: USAID source says staff are scrambling to save archived copies of US regulations before they're gone & are being actively locked out of systems, including a publicly available database of USAID documents. WIRED has built software to systematically check the status of 1,374 government domains.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

BREAKING NEWS: Canada’s BC Liquor Distribution Branch will immediately stop buying American liquor from red states, including Whisky and Bourbon, and will have the top-selling “red-state” brands removed from its shelves.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

Hey, maybe Matt Taibbi will get another unsolicited trove of documents that definitely do not, in any way, ultimately serve the interests of the world's richest man!

Wow. Medical data leaks require patient warnings & repairs. How about Elon & DOGE hacking Medicare & SSI data? ‪ NEWS: Wyden Demands Answers Following Report of Musk Personnel Seeking Access to Highly Sensitive U.S. Treasury Payments System @wyden.senate.gov www.finance.senate.gov
