@replsimon.bsky.social Please join Rep. Wyden in boycotting.

they should all skip.

When your ski resort is cooperatively owned there's no need to mince words

So, actually, it always was Russia.

‼️ CISA employees have been told to stop tracking Russian cyber threats, according to The Guardian. A recent agency priorities memo "did not mention Russia." bit.ly/4hWsbMc This would be a seismic shift for the agency.

Grab a few groceries and a couple of gallons of gas today (don’t overspend though!). Let’s demonstrate unified resistance to the fascist coup. Midnight—> midnight.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

All we need for peace in Ukraine is for Russian soldiers to return to Russia.

The National Jewish Book Award winning author of HOW TO FIGHT ANTISEMITISM is now DEFENDING NAZI SALUTES I FUCKING CANNOT

Trump is SHUTTING DOWN all 8000 EV chargers at federal facilities These EV chargers were already bought, paid for with our tax dollars, installed, and operational THIS is what real government waste looks like And what does Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, think of this?

Deputy Director of the FBI on what really matters and the importance of checks and balances in the constitutional system

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

"You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when it's waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eye." -- Hunter S. Thompson

Embarrassing that Germany is now better at defeating Nazis than America is. We used to own them on that.

Trump/Putin’s campaign to crush the US export market proceeding apace. My kid in Vancouver reports from the local Safeway, where preferred Canadian goods are helpfully marked with a maple leaf:

“anything that happens”

Good for these federal workers, concerned about the sabotage of a functioning, safe park, for us and for nature. www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Amen!

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Thou canst not paint a man So bad as is thyself.

If you’re going to avoid saying Trump lies because you can’t prove his state of mind, you should also avoid saying he’s just trolling when you can’t prove that state of mind.

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

Not if they've fired everyone who can report reliable employment data!

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Just signed an executive order declaring my mortgage paid in full.

Not sure we’ve ever had a president who hates Americans as much as this asshole does

Every week I wonder: who is the Gail Collins/Brett Stephens mashup for? Who thought this was a good idea? Who do they think looks for this content?

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

A friend lost his USFS job yesterday. "Why am I being fired?" he asked. "Because you're disabled," his supervisor said, and explained that a whole tranche of USFS employees laid off yesterday were those hired under Schedule A noncompetitive eligibility, ie, people with disabilities.

Here is the clip from ‘Waterloo’ which ends with the same line Trump used this morning - it is speech in which Napoleon asserts, “I did not usurp the crown,” because he picked it out of the gutter and the people put it on his head:

This is fascism.

Alfred Eisenstaedt, Alma Mahler listening to Leonard Bernstein conduct her husband's 2nd Symphony at Carnegie Hall in 1960.

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

"At least Trump will keep us safe."

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!
