For those at the backā€¦

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trumpā€™s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governorā€™s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

WATCH: ā€œYou just said something thatā€™s not true ā€” that tens of millions of dead people are on that listā€¦ but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.ā€ Trumpā€™s Press Sec hides behind saying they ā€œsuspectā€ it, then runs away šŸ¤”

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal governmentā€™s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the countryā€™s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judgeā€™s order to release grant money.

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

I guess this is considered bonus credentials

WYOMING: ā€œThank you, Madam chairman.ā€ ā€œI prefer ā€˜Misterā€™ chairman.ā€ ā€œWell you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.ā€

Janet Mills isnā€™t here for any of that king bullshit. MORE OF THIS!!!

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

newrepublic.com/article/1914... So, uh, women: you like to vote?

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

this message is for Gov Mills of Maine. Hi. TY. Love you. šŸ’•ā­ļø

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

Just disgusting.

šŸšØBREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

ā€œWhat merit means to themā€ General Brownā€™s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

YES! We have an amicus appointed by the judge in the case to dismiss the charges against Eric Adams. Basically, if neither party opposes, the court appoints someone to fight the other side. They did this in the Flynn case as well.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not ā€œvacateā€ the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

This is really something

Nailed it.

Iā€™m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. Itā€™s time to take the gloves off.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

ā€œI shake my head as people actually think DOGE has identified waste, fraud and abuse in 5 days. What they are doing is gutting programs they don't like according to Project 2025. They haven't done any analysis and don't even know the functions of the depts they are cutting.ā€ - Henry M. Rosenberg

John Fettermanā€™s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure heā€™s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each otherā€™s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

MAGAconomics: Fire the IRS! Nothing says ā€˜fiscal responsibilityā€™ like laying off 6,700 IRS workers right before tax season. Good news: the ultra-rich can keep dodging taxes. Bad news: you might be waiting until 2026 for your refund. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

The co-presidents are dismantling the government at lightning speed but havenā€™t done a single thing to lower prices. In fact theyā€™re making it worse. Why the rush?
