You have to love it when the Judge implies that a homeless wino passed out in front of the courthouse could argue your case as well as you're doing now:

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

@nytimes.com is dead. They keep wanting to prove it again and again n

Maine’s Governor Janet Mills is a badass . She doubles down calls Trump’s bluff. She will not comply & says” see you in court” after he threats to withhold Federal funding! Well Done Governor!!!💙🌈💙🌈💙🌈💙🌈💙🌈💙

The Part B of my Medicare plan was covered by a smaller local insurance company. As of January 30th, they dropped us from our plans. I received a package to pick a new healthcare plan. Only one option, Blue Plus. My pain clinic does not accept it... They said I have to find a new provider.

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

Republicans can keep the word veteran out of their filthy mouths.

“A new report in the Wall Street Journal suggests that advertisers are returning to X in order to avoid being added to an ongoing lawsuit by the company or see their own business dealings targeted by the Trump administration.” gizmodo.com/it-sure-look...

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.

Donald Trump is ending the national database of police misconduct

#ProudBlue Susan Crawford is being opposed by a Musk candidate to buy this seat away from Wisconsinites Susan Crawford is a qualified candidate for the WI Justice seat We need to help elect Judge Crawford by donating to her campaign & spreading the word secure.actblue.com/donate/sc-webs…

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

BREAKING: The SEC has dropped its enforcement case against Coinbase. Coinbase spent $46 million to influence the outcome of the election. Now they're already getting their payoff.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Work really hard and you can make billionaires trillionaires. No it's not an incentive is it?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

In 2028 this is what a Democratic president needs to do. We will win if you all vote blue this time.

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

The White Sox continue to deserve everything that happens to them.

Jan. 2025--Donald Trump announced $540 billion in pledged investment in AI infrastructure and called on his government to "enhance America's AI leadership." Feb. 2025--Don Jr. and Eric get into the AI data center business. me, for @forbes.com 1/

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

The first rule of the Leopards Ate My Face Club is the leopard eats your face.

CVS is having customers download and use an app to open their locked cabinets for “convenience.” If CVS wanted customers to actually have convenience they would not lock the cabinets in the first place. All they are doing is taking your precious data. Don’t do it.

America is not gonna go down quietly.

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.. 🐢

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

“In reality, Trump won by less than 1.5 percent and took less than 50 percent of all votes cast. His popular vote margin was one-third as large as Biden’s and the second-narrowest in 60 years. There was no “mandate,” let alone a “massive” one.” @atrupar.com open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
