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

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Trump has fired at least 19 inspectors general without cause and now 8 of them are filing a lawsuit against the White House. When asked why they weren’t consulted before being ousted, Fmr. Veteran Affairs IG Michael Missal says, “maybe they want lap dogs instead of watch dogs.” #Velshi

Concerns over Musk’s conflicts of interests grow as he undermines fed. regulators. DOGE has gutted “every aspect of accountability outside of the fed. court system,” says Eric Lipton. Current ethics laws are too “antiquated” to address Musk’s vast entanglements says @kirstengrind.bsky.social #Velshi

There is a tuberculosis outbreak happening right now in Kansas. In 2025. There is an Ebola outbreak in Uganda. We are on the precipice of a major bird flu pandemic. What does the president do? Cuts the CDC off from collaboration with WHO. This will cost lives. www.newsweek.com/tuberculosis...

You think you've seen high prices & inflation? You ain't seen nothing yet, you idiots who voted for him & fools who didn't vote. This'll be on you. Trump Administration Live Updates: Steep Tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China Will Take Effect Saturday www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Trump's plan to lower costs- deporting most of America's workers & putting more tariffs on working families. But eggs will be SO cheap. Oh wait. Egg shortage due to bird flu. So, if you can find the, they’ll be very expensive too. Good job MAGA voters , protest voters, & non-voters.

Hearing from federal employees tonight who are getting messages via their agency’s emergency notification system, which is usually reserved for snow-related office closures, that’s like DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WE HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THOSE PROMISES ARE REAL

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

The trick is to stay aware of all he's doing but not feel overwhelmed by it. It's a hard trick.

The primary goal of the Trump admin in the initial weeks when it comes to ICE and interior enforcement is propaganda. That’s why they’re embedding Dr. Phil of all people on an ICE operation. The goal is to convince their supporters that a few splashy operations are the “mass deportations” promised.

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices. How does this help working people?

I was born & raised in the deep south. I grew up watching uneducated white Americans blame immigrants & black people for the way their lives turned out, rather than their poor life choices. It's why I went to college & vote Democrat! #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #Felon47

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

New Jobs Report Indicates a 'Strong Economy' That Is 'More Resilient Than Anticipated,' According to Experts. This due to President Biden being in office along with Democratic leaders. #DemCast www.entrepreneur.com/business-new...

The judge told Trump that it was the office of the presidency, and not the occupant, that has afforded extraordinary legal protections.

Promptly after being sentenced, Donald Trump sent out a fundraising email appealing to his supporters. Trump’s money-grubbing email links to a page soliciting monetary donations, asking if Americans stand with him after his sentencing. In all caps, he demanded supporters to…

Such an incredible reality to consider. The incoming President as a convicted felon cannot legally own firearms but he can control the military and he has the nuclear codes.

Donald Trump will enter office as a convicted felon. He will receive no prison time. The rest of us, however, have been sentenced to four more years of chaos.

And he didn’t get reelected because people said they were mad about the economy

Let me know if anyone in corporate media asks Jim Jordan about how his star witness in the Biden impeachment inquiry just got 6 years in prison for making it all up.

Has anyone heard an answer as to why Smith let Trump's lawyers review the report in advance? It seems like once he did that, the rest of this was predictable.

Here is an ongoing list of LA restaurants that are offering shelter, food, and support to first responders and evacuees: bit.ly/LAaid

Trump is attacking a governor in the midst of a devastating crisis. And of course, Trump’s weapons are outrageous lies and puerile name-calling. Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsom of refusing to sign what Trump is calling the “water restoration declaration.” No such document exists or has ever…

In this day and age, living in a place that - you like, - you can afford, - you can find a job, - you have family/friends, - you feel safe, and - you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes. So maybe don’t be an asshole.

Divider Guns don’t kill students. But they were responsible for making it easy for the lunatics who do. #ResistanceGunReform #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Jimmy Carter was a loving man who took responsibility for his actions, even when the repercussions were hard.

Trump calls Alito after appealing to the Supreme Court to throw out his 34 felony convictions in his hush money case. Alito, who is known for his lack of ethics and political bias, took the call. Alito needs to recuse. Trump is to be sentenced on Friday. www.rawstory.com/alito-trump-...

I went to the Jimmy Carter public visitation in the Capitol Rotunda last night. My friend and I arrived around 9pm. It was below 20 degrees with the wind chill. Wait time? 3.5 hours. Thousands of people were waiting outside in the freezing cold for hours late at night to honor Jimmy Carter.

Thank you President Carter for your incredible leadership, legacy and life of service.

Melania Trump, Slutslovia, looking particularly unkempt and Cruella like for Jimmy Carters state funeral. What an abysmal person.

It’s nap time.

High noon. Jan 20th.

I do not understand why CNN allows Scott Jennings to lie unchecked. Even if they pushback, as they did about the LAFD DEI/budget LIES, he still said it & they continue to pay him. We can weather a lot of things but allowing people to lie & treating it like a both sides thing *will* break us.

Unbelievable levels of trolling here from President Sheinbaum…Trump may have met his match😂
