🚨 NEW: Ukrainian President Zelensky just met with King Charles and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer—who made it crystal clear that the UK stands fully with Ukraine. This is leadership. You stand with democracy. You stand with those under attack. Not the aggressors. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Call your reps! It’s Friday!! Keep calling!!! Don’t let up #resist

An unauthorized foreign national snuck into the Oval Office while the president was in there. Oh joy.

How would a random Russian news agency reporter sneak into the White House?

Brazen.

GOOOOOO.

"So don’t make any long-term bets on getting your checks on time, keeping your lights on, buying a home for the first time, or enjoying Yosemite. Don’t assume all the things that work now will still work tomorrow." www.wired.com/story/doge-w... thank you @wired.com for staying on top of it all

The people in protest at the Iowa statehouse against a bill that would remove gender identity as a protected class under the Iowa Civil Rights Act and explicitly define man and women/male and female. #USprotests #EqualRights #Equality #FuckMAGA

If you've been feeling helpless about the state of our country, here's one way you can make a huge difference.

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT: tomorrow, February 28th, is the Economic Blackout. I ain’t buying shit. Plan ahead, but if you must buy essentials, use cash and support local businesses only. No corporate chains!

I work at Fox News because its critical that Americans hear opposing viewpoints about the critical issues in our public discourse. Right now, Trump voters are having buyer's remorse. Approval ratings are down. Constituents are fed up. It's just the beginning.

Justice Department tells judges it can't comply with court-ordered deadline to release frozen aid funding www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The adminstration has cancelled 10k more foreign aid grants even as the court is ordering them to pay existing ones. They include 5,800 from USAID and 4,100 from State "many of which had already been granted waivers to provide lifesaving humanitarian aid" www.devex.com/news/nearly-...

Tragedy upon tragedy. All I can think of is, get the ads up. Get the stories out. Make it personal Every time. All the time. What else?

Remember: EOs are not laws. Thankfully to live in Illinois, where we do not obey in advance. wgntv.com/news/illinoi...

😳 this dude ran the FSB [KGB]!

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec, whom Pete Hegseth brought on his trip to Europe, told CPAC that Trump isn’t violating the Constitution because “Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution.” This is what fascism looks like.

This is not what democracy or freedom of speech looks like for Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, or anyone. Remind your members of Congress to stand up for truth and freedom. Now is the time to make those calls. cdapress.com/news/2025/fe...

#emails2DOGE @carolleonnig.bsky.social

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

😕

Himes: "It just looks like an episode of The Sopranos. 'Give us your minerals or we're not gonna help you fight a bloody butcher.' I mean, is this really we want the greatest country in history to be known for -- some mafia thing? ... this president is standing with the bad guy"

NOBODY VOTED FOR MUSK'S LITTLE INTERNET RANDOS, ANY NOBODY SHOULD ACCEPT WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING.

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

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.

Love to see it!

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

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-...

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

200 million dollars of waste.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

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)

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.

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else

I just subscribed to 5 Calls Newsletter! buttondown.com/5calls

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Elon, I found you some wasteful spending idiot www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
