Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

This.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

🚨 JUST IN: Canada DEFEATS the USA 3-2 to take home the #4Nations  Championship

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

I think we in the Blue Tribe are well aware that a financial crisis is coming. The tax refund that Trump promising is a lie built on more borrowing not cost savings. It’s a bribe that the Red Tribe will think everything is fine.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Former US Ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul:

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The Peace Plan: Get the fuck out of our country. #StandWithUkraine

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS @democracyforward.org request to allow expedited discovery in lawsuit challenging DOGE access to Department of Labor data. First instance of discovery being permitted in the Trump accountability cases. Visit Democracy Docket for more info. www.democracydocket.com

Senator Roger Wicker (R-MA) on the question if Putin can be trusted, and if he should get a state visit to the US: "No. He broke every law on an international level. He is a war criminal. He should be arrested, trialed and possibly even executed". A Republican said that. It matters that he does.

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

Buncha whiny commenters on a news story about the 500-strong protest in Wenatchee on Mon seem to be under the delusion that we care what they think. Nope, not one iota! We live in the real world. We know that the 1st felon & his minions are ripping away our rights & destroying people's lives.

This is unheard of in American history. Absolutely insane in peace time.

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

👇🏻

Right now...I'm happy I'm not a billionaire in the United States. (I'd be getting the fuck OUT of the United States...now) Why? Because when the people of this country of in the pits of hell...not even able to meet their basic needs...and Trump passes more tax cuts for billionaires...1/2

Yes- this could interfere with your tax return- 1,000 IRS workers in Kansas City expect to get laid off, federal employee union warns Federal workers in Kansas City may face termination this week as part of the Trump administration’s cost-cutting blitz.

Dark Pence is back.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I'm genuinely sorry for your personal loss. But not for our nation's loss. Your brother was a toxic, lying influence that instrumentally contributed to the current environment of hate, division, and disinformation. We are all better without him. Bye, girl!

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

"AstraZeneca, Blackstone, Citadel, Deloitte, JP Morgan, KKR, Kraft Heinz, Liberty Steel, Macquarie, McKinsey, Meta, Neom, Palantir, PwC" Some of the corporations now just happily attending climate denial cult sessions www.desmog.com/2025/02/16/l...

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

America's first gender neutral bathroom was Rush Limbaugh's gravesite.

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

Why is the anti-abortion movement scared of telemedicine?: Virtual abortion clinics aren’t just an alternative. They are often the only realistic option for patients who can’t take a day off work or drive hundreds of miles to the nearest clinic. 

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
