It’s always gratifying (and harrowing) to read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. But I especially enjoy it when amidst the stark truths about our crisis she turns out passages like this: open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

Trump is begs SCOTUS to “do something” about a reinstated gov watchdog. Musk runs a cabinet meeting while WH lawyers argue he has no power. Plus, SCOTUS takes on a reverse discrimination case, and more. Watch Legal AF at 8p ET/5p PT!

Vox Populi

Here's an article by Seth Hettena that discusses Kash Patel's "integrity." open.substack.com/pub/theicema...

It reads like an acute adderall deficiency.

This is truly remarkable. It also violates the Federal Principles of Prosecution and DOJ ethics guidelines. This should make Martin unconfirmable, but it also means he shouldn’t be in office in the first place.

This treasonous piece of shit needs to be shut down.

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

The language, as described, is superfluous. It is already constitutional and federal statutory law that the administration must spend the money that Congress appropriates. Congress’s power of the purse fundamental to our system of government. And yet, it’s a red line for Republicans to include it.

To have the Supreme Court lowering the bar for 'reverse discrimination' suits is nothing more than privilege and a straight-up slap in the face! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

New in PN: EPA head wants to steal $20B of green "Zeldin's ridiculous lie is being used to justify an illegal expropriation of funds in contravention of the Constitution, which gives Congress the power of the purse, & the will of the people as expressed through their congressional representatives"

Lauren Boebert is so dumb she could throw herself on the ground and miss.

bookmark this soundbite from Mike Lawler for when Republicans actually develop a budget and it has huge Medicaid cuts

Is this the finding out part?

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

All those billions and Jeff Bezos still can't afford dignity

My congressman wrote me back stating that he supports Elon Musk’s coup. Sam Graves claims that Elon is curbing governmental waste. I wonder if that includes his salary for 24 years in Congress? He has been paid over $4 million by the taxpayers in that time…

"What the head of HHS said to the nation about a measles outbreak was not true," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on RFK Jr. downplaying the deadly measles outbreak in Texas.

"Elon Musk is in charge. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. So does the Trump administration," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social. "But they keep obfuscating in the courts and in the media … because they know it is an unconstitutional seizure of power that is an insult to our democratic system."

"Today the leader of the free world presided over the first full Cabinet meeting of his new term. Donald Trump was there, too," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Elon Musk demonstrated today...that the last term Donald Trump served as president was 2016-2020. Now, Donald is a staffer. "Diet Coke, please...Donald!"

RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.

This is going to kill so many people for no reason.

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

Former Wash Post top editor Cameron Barr severs ties to the company He writes that Bezos’ revamp marks an “unacceptable erosion of its commitment to publishing a healthy diversity of opinion and opinion” www.linkedin.com/posts/camero...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

BREAKING: Elon Musk Causes Panic For Federal Employees. I need your help to spread this everywhere because if people don't read Elon's Twitter, they may not be aware. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Doing this while your child's mother is frantically trying to get in touch with you

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

MUST LISTEN: A Republican veteran just checked Congresswoman Stephanie Bice for letting COLLEGE KIDS access sensitive government systems—including the ability to cut off veteran benefits. She had NO ANSWERS. Just straight-up LIES.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

It's great that Elon keeps saying people should have more kids while setting this example

From aaron Parnas today…

Courts *ordered* the Trump admin to stop its spending freeze Yet ProPublica found place after place where $ is still frozen -hot meals for elderly and disabled -groceries for those in need -maternal & child health services -a clinic that serves the poor www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Folks: we regret to inform you that Susan Collins is "concerned"

Who else thinks we really need an upside-down American flag emoji right now?

The Trump trade war targets two of our closest allies, Canada and Mexico, but plays nice with China, a notorious trade cheat and driver of fentanyl. President Trump owns the economic and national security fallout.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

For the visual learners...

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

Has anyone pointed out that Trump doesn't seem to know the difference between a trade deficit and a budget deficit

This is very good
