During my State of the State Address, I mentioned something important that I'm happy other leaders are also starting to talk about: The need to put a greater focus on supporting and elevating young men. www.youtube.com/shorts/H3rFf...

Steve Bannon: “The future of MAGA is Donald Trump. We want Trump in ‘28. That's what they can't stand. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country’s history. We want Trump!” This is what fascism looks like

WOW. Trump sucking up to war criminal Putin is so bad that even Mark Levin, one of the biggest sycophants on Fox News, couldn't remain silent

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

If in NYC….

The hypocrisy of the GOP knows no bounds 👇

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

Trump talked a big game about how he’d bring down costs for working people, but this is what his administration is actually doing.

Checked in with subway riders at Canal Street. They were NOT happy about Trump trying to cancel congestion pricing nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/02/19/n...

A freeze on the hiring and onboarding of thousands of federal firefighters could have deadly consequences as the national wildfire response operates at a "diminished capacity," a federal firefighting captain tells @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social: nbcnews.to/3D0rulI

We’re live at Grand Central waiting for Gov. Hochul to give a press conference about today’s congestion pricing news.

“Worst first” is actually “as many as you can find to make me look better.”

"working to swiftly rectify the situation..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

They didn't accidently fire them. They did it on purpose. Thanks Pete for all that you do. We need more like you, AOC, and Jasmine who are willing to stand up to these bad guys. Now all the rest of the Dems need to start doing this. FIGHT.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

This is not a normal person 👇

This seems appropriate to share today.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Trump voters: Had enough yet?

CORRUPT AF: At least 11 federal agencies targeted by the Trump-Musk firings and cuts “have more than 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Mr. Musk’s six companies." Read more here: bit.ly/4jSg1VU #ResistTrump

Putting RFK Jr. in charge of the nation’s public health is a huge mistake. When dangerous diseases resurface and people can’t access lifesaving vaccines, all Americans will suffer — and RFK Jr.’s family could keep getting richer thanks to his serious conflicts of interest.

NEW: I'm heading to the Senate floor where I'm going to lead Democrats in holding the floor ahead of RFK Jr.'s confirmation vote. This is the most dangerous and unqualified nominee for HHS I've seen in my lifetime and I'm not giving up without a fight.

BREAKING: Consumer prices rose 0.5% in January, pushing the annual inflation rate to 3%, both higher than expected. Food prices jumped 0.4%, while energy prices surged 1.1%, driven by a 1.8% increase in gasoline costs. Make no mistake—inflation will only continue to worsen.

They are angry that a judge restored a public website providing life-saving resources from the CDC, FDA, and HHS.

It's hard to believe that humanity is at a place where a headline like this, to our peril, is merely met with a yawn... Earth is now retaining profuse excess heat - the equiavlent of a million nuclear bombs per day - in our climate system. Today’s Berardelli Bonus H/T to @LeonSimons8 Linear trend

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge issues blistering order saying that Trump administration has violated his prior order re funding freeze. If admin. continues to disobey, next logical step would be contempt and a potential constitutional crisis. Visit Democracy Docket for updates. www.democracydocket.com

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

NEW: A court has issued an administrative stay temporarily blocking Trump’s unlawful removal of Hampton Dellinger as Special Counsel. He says he will return to his work immediately.

BREAKING: Steve Bannon pleads guilty to one fraud charge related to his border wall fundraising scheme in a deal that allows him to avoid jail time.

Republican politicians and big banks have been trying to destroy the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ever since it was born. They have failed every time, and they will fail again now. I’m staying in the fight.

Pete is right. What Trump’s done to our country in a matter of weeks is beyond horrible. But that doesn’t mean we will ever just sit on our hands, or grow complacent. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/pete-butti...

Elon Musk is trying to shut down the CFPB, the agency that has forced big banks and corporations to return more than $21 BILLION to families they cheated.

Warren: "My view right now is the courts are where we are hanging on to our constitutional structure. They still have the power to hold everybody else in this country in contempt if they do not follow lawfully issued court orders."

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”  No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.
