This muthafukka really doesn't take a bad shot.

🚨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!

Dark Pence is back.

Trump's former VP Mike Pence has more courage and moral clarity, than the majority of GOP and he believes, in spreading the truth. He posted this on Twitter today. Dark Pence is back! 🔥🔥🔥

I spend all that time on Amar's podcast talking about how Trump is claiming powers that were rejected in the 17th century struggles between Parliament and the Stuarts and he just ... tweets it out

This is fucking incredible.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

More than anything, they do not want jobs that anyone can rely upon, thrive in, and enjoy.

On this #PresidentsDay and every day

Time to repost this No one elected MUSK

He's preparing to do something really bad.

Handing out the CFPB budget to American taxpayers: $711,586,678/341,000,000 Americans = $2.09 per consumer Money CFPB has earned for American taxpayers: $21,000,000,000/341,000,000 Americans = 61.58 dollars/consumer #deleteDOGE #saveCFPB

House GOP wants $4 TRILLION dollar debt ceiling increase. You marks really thought the world’s richest man and the guy with the golden toilet seats were really going to “fight the elites” for you? Nah, they just want their tax breaks.

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts. It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1913...

Exactly this. Just 2% of Musk's wealth could feed the very poorest and most desperate people in the world. He could use his money to do extraordinary things - and could go down in history as a hero. Instead he has deliberately chosen to be an evil, villainous dick

Once upon a time, we complained that "ethnic cleansing" was too sterile a euphemism to describe the forced removal and often violent expulsion of a racial or religious minority from a region. And now the press can't even bring itself to use *that* term.

"[I]t’s a shambling zombie of a piece, with a skeleton of solid reporting of the scariest facts you’ve ever heard in your life draped in the rotting flesh of the Times politics desk’s signature 'horny for power and spectacle' tone." — @rusty.todayintabs.com

A great post.

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

i know a lot of gov employees are watching my feed at the moment 👇

‼️ Call Costco Corporate and tell them you support them going against the new administration. The receptionist is taking a tally and sharing with the CEO. You don’t need to be a member. She said they appreciate the support and have been getting a lot of negativity 425-313-8100 hit 0 #calltoactivism

This is a national emergency:

There is no American history without Black history. Pass it on.

The ad is airing on Capitol Hill, targeting Senators.

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

Will people ever wake up?

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

You would think that the first public reaction from the president after a horrific air crash would be to offer sympathy to the victims and their families, not to wonder why they didn't move out of the way.

YES BUT, if you're focused on the Black Hawk, then why are you not calling on your AWOL Secretary of Defense to provide a public explanation, or at least just show your face?

I wonder how much longer this will stay up on the White House website? But I'm sure the air traffic controllers at the Ronald Reagan DC Airport were not distracted in the slightest by worries about losing their jobs in a "DEI" purge.

TF am I still seeing trump tv ads on the regular? It’s straight up propaganda.
