DEI guy went for a hug, and Trump wasn't having it. 🤣 #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Per @phildstewart.bsky.social: “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.”

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

I grew up losing friends and neighbors to cancer. It’s been a fear most of my life. Certainly there’s been much advancement in detection and treatment. Fears eased but never ruled out. At 68yo diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I depend on MY MEDICAID. Do you depend on it too? Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

WATCH: “So far DOGE has saved enough to buy each of us 3 cups of coffee.” Economist Justin Wolfers on the *DOGE DIVIDEND* It’s all a trick. Their goal is tax cuts for the rich. And they never cared about the debt.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

This will go well.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

Though the FDA is believed to have lost about 700 of its 18,000 employees following President Trump's mass firings, some cuts hit small teams so deeply that staff members believe the safety of some medical devices could be compromised. Here's what to know.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

Well hel fking lo Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare “Back in October … I flew down to Texas, got Elon Musk to [set up DOGE] by New Republic

Next weekend March 1 there is going to be a huge protest in Hawthorne, California at SpaceX headquarters. Hawthorne is right by LAX.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

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.

The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., said on Friday that it was investigating U.S. Representative Cory Mills, a Republican representing a district northeast of Orlando, in connection with a report of an assault on a woman this week.

Jessica: There was a huge drop in support for President Trump and for Elon Musk. Trump’s approval rating is down 5-7 points across four of these big polls. He’s underwater on managing the economy by 8 points. Did you see those town halls? Rich McCormick were booing him.

There’s going to be a bigly backlash against rich people and super rich people 💪🔥🤬

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

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

Judicial power is shifting, the FBI is refocusing away from counterterrorism, and federal oversight is tightening. Meanwhile, nuclear staff firings and a USPS shakeup raise big questions. I break it all down in this week’s newsletter—subscribers, check your emails. Read here:

President Donald Trump abruptly fired Air Force Gen. CQ Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday, sidelining a history-making fighter pilot and respected officer as part of a campaign to rid the military of leaders who support diversity and equity in the ranks.

Cutting Medicaid will leave millions of kids without access to preventive care, like vaccines & check-ups. That's a recipe for disaster. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

There’s something happening in this country.

here's today's post: "bizarros, freaks and incels gather at buffoonpalooza" — the CPAC circus is in town. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Consumer confidence dips in Trump's first month as tariff threats drive inflation fears: Consumers’ attitude toward the economy dipped during President Trump’s first month in office, according to the University of Michigan’s monthly consumer survey, released Friday.  Consumer sentiment fell nearly…

To all living former presidents, vice presidents, Congress members, fed judges, former military leaders and all vets: we desperately need your assistance with spreading the word about and helping to resist.

This BETTER OUTRAGE EVERYONE DO YOU KNOW HOW HELPFUL AND NECESSARY THESE VISITS ARE??? CALL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES 202 224-3121 THIS IS WRONG !!!

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

In 2028 this is what a Democratic president needs to do. We will win if you all vote blue this time.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

This was just shared with me on Twitter. I 💯 support this. #TreasonousTrump

While Republicans start their work tonight on a bill to cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits, Democrats are working to make your life better, safer, and more affordable. Here are 10 of the amendments I filed to the Republican budget bill 🧵

I rarely rebroadcast memes, but this one seems special. So much so, in fact, that I'm typing the ENTIRE PIECE into the alt-text for this image.

Sadly, Senators voted 52-48 on the GOP budget resolution, with Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky joining all Democrats opposing the massive spending cuts. In the middle of night, after midnight, Republican Senators voted massive cuts to Medicaid and safety net www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

CARVILLE: “More deficit accumulated under Trump than any president… Trump’s approval rating lowest at this point in his presidency ever… GOP supports Putin, wants to get rid of Medicaid & Medicare…” James Carville exposed Hannity’s audience to some facts 👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUcU1c...
