At some point I need Democrats to also understand that nuance is dead. There is no room for a "nuanced" position on things that are black and white. I get these ten Dems that supported the censure of Al Green are "standing on their principles" but your opponents are not. Stop giving them wins

Dem Congressman Al Green being removed from the chamber by the sergeant at arms on Speaker Johnson's instruction. Wow.

Ha! The internet remembers everything. 🤣🤣

Until you bring back DEI, Target, we don't give a fuck. Racism and obeisance to fascism are not magic... Target Wants to Bring Back the ‘Tarzhay’ Magic www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Science at its awesomeness

A police officer murdered a Black man who he thought stole some sunglasses and a judge sentenced him to three years for it, but Glenn Youngkin decided that was too much so commuted his sentence after two days. www.fox5dc.com/news/sentenc...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is insane. They are going to destroy the entire planet.

Lift the cap.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

He won’t

Thanks Mark, great offer/opportunity to start a technology counterbalance. Very much needed!

Indeed. Where *are* the Dems. Or, Congress as a whole.

As a European, I sincerely hope so.

“European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: ‘Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.’”

Trade data from this morning has driven a huge drop in the Atlanta Fed GDPNow real-time tracker for Q1 GDP. Today's data took it from 2.321% to -1.477%. What's going on? Let's do a little thread explaining.

Please keep this in mind as Trump claims he doesn't want to help Ukraine because US taxpayer money shouldn't be spent on foreign war. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

Fully agreed

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

With interest.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF. “Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people. “Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”

Once again they screw veterans first. — Veteran-owned small firms hit first by VA's push for $2B in contract cuts. Service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs bear 89% of the claimed savings. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins claims this is just step one. washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

🫣💥⚡️🔥

The debt is so bad we have to fire military veteran park rangers but not so bad that we can’t add trillions to give Trump and Elon more money.

A thread worth reading

My head explodes

and on day 36 in shambolistan... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/s...

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

There is NO way to cut the budget as much as Republicans want without CUTTING Medicaid benefits. If Reps. Malliotakis, Lawler, Garbarino, and Lalota vote yes, they are voting to cut Medicaid benefits for their constituents.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

On point from WaPo “Fox News host Jesse Watters offered a succinct and accurate explanation of how the right elevates stories.
“We are waging a 21st-century information warfare campaign against the left, and they are using tactics from the 1990s,” he said ….. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Make that 2026. I’m suspicious of infiltration that’s already done.

Yes, but Muskites only following directives from Musk, will this be adhered to? I doubt it.

This includes facts that would strongly support two cases now before the courts alleging that Musk/DOGE are exercising government authority in violation of the Appointments Clause. @mattbaidc.bsky.social in WaPo with details on USAID "tightly controlled" by DOGE⤵️ h/t @samsteindc.bsky.social
