When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

No question what happened there.

The stuff they're doing is deeply unpopular and they're rapidly heading in that direction. Stop treating them like they're untouchable. We can fight back.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Just got out of jail. Only forty four left to go to catch John Lewis’s record. Remember - peaceful civil disobedience. Don’t comply in advance.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Get all your vaccines while you can. Top up on whatever you need. DO IT NOW

So just straight up threats and intimidation now from the Department of Justice to sitting members of Congress who oppose Musk or Trump. We are about to see sitting members of Congress and others arrested by the FBI by the end of the week at the rate things are going.

The WH is ending free covid testing tonight at midnight. If you haven’t yet ordered your tests, now’s the time.

The Senate just confirmed Kash Patel as FBI director. Here's what you need to know about Patel: -He has an enemies list. -He's the one person who would do anything for Trump.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Getting your head chopped off by a crowd of revolutionaries does.

Trump accuses federal workers of “playing golf.” He spent the last three weekdays golfing.

Again, on what damn authority?

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Instead of dealing with all the planes crashing everywhere, the former “Real World” star is abandoning investments in US infrastructure.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Tune in to @gregsargent.bsky.social ‘s excellent podcast today with @brianbeutler.bsky.social talking about how to turn up the heat on Republican Senators on Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine and Europe https:// podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily-blast-with-greg-sargent/id1728152109?i=1000694298619

**Taps mic**

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

This is heartbreaking. These people are our fellow human beings.

who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DOGE???????

This is exactly what is happening

If Democrats were looking for an issue to rally around that can win, Trump and Musk just gave them that with Trump's vow to literally remove "millions of people off social security." He said by removing millions it will make SS strong. In reality they are coming to END Social Security as we know it!

Learned from my local Indivisible Chapter in Chicago that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is holding a book tour event in Chicago tomorrow. Perhaps his time would be better spent acting like a leader and working to save our Democracy. I can't begin to express my disappointmemt/anger.

Shame on the City of Chicago

How is the "suppporting" the Military?

This is what needs to happen!

This friggin' monster should be in prison for the rest of us life instead of threatening our nation, terrorizing our people, and endangering the world.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit
