🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

@xenta.bsky.social Xenta, I am writing to apologize for our government. Stupid and racist people elected tRump, and the Republicans support him. The majority of us hate what is happening. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Donald Trump's day so far: - Announced he's "terminated health" - Thought long dead Muhammad Ali was in the audience - Wants to know "did anybody steal the gold" - His approval rating is dropping - He has no idea what's going on - Trump is going to hell It's still only 8:46pm

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

This.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Brilliant segment on the vital role the NIH exercises in advancing Alzheimer’s research to unlock future treatments. Strong and very recent bipartisan support. Well done and thank you @maddow.msnbc.com

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Rural America should start raising carrier pigeons now so they’re ready to go when Trump dissolves the post office. They could have finally had internet , instead they won’t even have mail.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Call to Action: Protest at Rep Chip Roy’s Office, San Antonio, Texas. February 21st at 2PM. “LET'S BRING THE TOWN HALL TO CHIP” #3E #USprotests #Feb21

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Another "deep state" operative found by DOGE. Wait...no...just a dedicated disabled veteran. www.nevadaappeal.com/news/2025/fe...

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Alaska has the fourth-highest number of federal workers per capita—fish & game, forestry, and more—their jobs are being cut under the excuse of “poor performance.” Lisa Murkowski knows that’s a lie—so why won’t she just say, it’s a lie. Collins, Burchett, and the rest are just giving lip service.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

📸 Delaware Online has shared photos of President Biden's recent visit to the Brandywine Diner. He made time for photos with every staff member and customer. He may be a former president, but in Delaware, he'll always be Joe. ♥️

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

One of my tools as a critic had been a Twitter list called, "Top Journalism Linkers." Designed so that I could survey the space. It was the first thing I read in the morning. When I left it had 6.8K users. Over the weekend I rebuilt it for Bluesky. You can subscribe. bsky.app/profile/jayr...

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe calls MAGA a "Nazi movement" and gets arrested. Democracy won't survive without people willing to stand up for it.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

She Knows How To Play It Cool: I have so, so, much respect and admiration for this lady. The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, knows just how to handle Donald Trump. She doesn’t get rattled, no, she is calm, cool, and collected through his ridiculous crap. She is polite but firm. How many…

"I think there's real risk of a generation or more of data being lost." - Dr. Michael Greicius, neurology professor at Stanford University, on the damage Trump's cuts to NIH research will do to progress on a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, adding as much as 20 years to the timeline.

Oh my God if this is true
