If you didn’t see #KamalaHarris’ brief speech at the #NAACPImageAwards, do yourself and your country a solid, go find the clip and get your mind right. #MyPresident

Elon Musk’s DOGE team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into the deadly crashes with his company’s cars. Yet another reason I’d never buy a Tesla.

If you agree, like and share!

Trump expected to name Kash Patel as acting ATF director. I'm ready to fucking scream already. This is exhausting. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

This is a joke and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Irvine has the first (and hopefully last) police Cybertruck in the U.S. Saw a guy on a video, I think TikTok, ripping parts off a Cybertruck with his bare hands and destroying the doors by slamming them. That car has no business in a police fleet.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

INBOX: Washington Governor Bob Ferguson’s office says that the state Employment Security Department is helping affected federal employees who have been laid off apply for unemployment benefits and seek new work, and is reporting numbers on affected federal workers.

I’m locked in on this fight, no matter what these Republican clowns throw my way. This isn’t about me—it’s about us. We’ve been through too much, shoot, our grandparents went through too much to lay down now. I’m *not* going to see their sacrifice wasted. BRING IT!

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

FFS! Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, part of Musk's unvetted kiddie hackers brigade is the grandson of a KGB double agent YCMTSU! KGB Allegations

On Friday night, Donald Trump announced General CQ Brown was fired as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also issued a slew of firings of top military leaders.

Because of the structure of American society and politics, the Democratic Party is the only institution positioned to challenge, defeat, and reverse the Trump administration’s ongoing destruction of our constitutional order. Alan Minsky Feb 21, 2025

It's so much worse than we thought. The plot by #tech #billionaires, #CryptoBros to destroy govs, create fiefdoms, purge unwanteds & rule new lands is well underway. It's diabolical. They will share the spoils. See here. Watch 'till end. via #BlondePolitics youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?...

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

Over 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid for life-saving healthcare. That’s 72 million people—children, seniors, people with disabilities—who would suffer without it. Don’t cut my Medicaid.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

I'm in ! Tell me how.

it is shocking the extent to which they openly sneer at morality

Judge largely blocks Trump’s executive orders ending federal support for DEI programs apnews.com/article/dei-...

🚨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.

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

Now I see why he went out on stage with sunglasses on.

Another shakedown: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Just disgusting.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

🚨NEW RESULTS (w/ Slattery & @wnober.bsky.social) When gov't engineers retire, projects take longer & costs (& cost overruns) go up. It’s harder to manage projects well w/ reduced staffing. Important to remember as DOGE cuts: reduced staffing can actually hurt efficiency. Paper: tinyurl.com/yvy2jt93

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Medicare Defenders Slam 'Obscene' Looming Cuts to Telehealth Coverage "We have trillions to spend on tax breaks for the rich and corporations," said one economic policy expert, "but we can't afford to cover telehealth visits for seniors?" www.commondreams.org/news/medicar...

Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare. Cutting it to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a betrayal. Call 866-426-2631 & demand Congress protects Medicaid! Don't Cut My Medicaid

Cutting $2.3 trillion from Medicaid will abandon seniors in long-term care & bankrupt families. Republicans don't care about the human cost - they only care about their billionaire donors' profits. Don't Cut My Medicaid

'Abdication of Your Sworn Duty': Senate Dems Grill RFK Jr on Mass Firing of Health Workers They warn cuts "will endanger children, seniors, and at-risk communities, set medical progress back by decades, curtail patient access to care, and make the nation less prepared for public health threats."

NEW: The Secretary of Defense instructs people to ignore what the press says, and that he wants the “biggest, most badass military on god’s green earth.” www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

Always stand up to a bully

Some Russian guy claims that the Tangerine Tyrant was recruited as a spy by the KGB in 1987. They gave him the nickname: Krasnov, meaning "the red one". Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Let's start calling him Krasnov from now on... Krasnov.

BREAKING: the stock market. Make America great again!

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

Power of the people…

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
