Today, I’m reading into the congressional record 100 reports of corruption from Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

“Trump has no economic theory behind what he’s doing.” Nobel-prize winning economist @josephestiglitz.bsky.social reacts to Trump’s 90 day tariff pause.

As Trump argues that tariffs will bring jobs to the United states, Nobel-prize winning economist @josephestiglitz.bsky.social says that “his picture of bringing us back to the 1950s is never going to happen.”

In theory this nightmare could end today:

I saw this meme and laughed #tariffs #penguins

I agree.

Today, we are being liberated from the burden of economic prosperity and growth! Happy Liberation Day! (Remember: we have always been allies with Eurasia… George Orwell)

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

This is the hardest I laughed since Trump became president.

Shocking that Democrats would not vote for a CR that funds the government for 6 months and allows Elon Musk to make unilateral spending cuts during that time. What an amazing offer!

I've been out so didn't know we had this piece coming. But our new write-up explains how this switcheroo will work. Dems give up 60 vote threshold in exchange for being allowed to offer amendments that will fail. That's what they're doing. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/after-h...

I feel so sad and heartbroken thinking about what is happening to our country. I worry for my grandchildren and their grandchildren. Our government officials have sided with Russian, so now we are becoming one of the bad guys. Distraught and despair is what I am feeling today. Tomorrow I will fight!

EMERGENCY VIDEO: Doesn’t it make sense, since we evidently don’t have enough money to stop AIDS in Africa or utilize that we cut Congress’ budget? Doesn’t it make sense for the White House to live on less? Shouldn’t Elon Musk take a cut to his Space x? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

You can sell with the truth. It’s still about presentation. “Inflation is painful for everyone. But what can destroy a family, the price of Gatorade going up , or the price of medications not being affordable? The republicans have a concept of a plan for drug pricing. We have a solution.

I would do it exclusively in red areas. Go where minds can be changed. Not where the choir already stands behind you !

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

I love this

New filings from the Trump administration in a DOGE lawsuit are jammed full of details about Musk allies Thomas Krause/Marko Elez's access to Treasury systems. They say they erroneously gave Elez read *and* write privileges but don't think he knew it. t.co/iY9E51WycH

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

JUST IN: The remaining employees at the General Services Administration are being warned that their work will be heavily monitored, from their swipes into the office to what they type on their computers.

Doctorow does a banger job pulling together a summary of who is behind looting the US government based on (linked in article) groundbreaking journalism from recent weeks https://pluralistic.net/2025/02/07/broccoli-hair-brownshirts/
