Angelo Carusone the President of Media Matters shares on my show their new report that found Fox News has featured Trump admin officials on air 124 times in first 30 days--that's 4 times a day. Fox News is the US version of pro-Kremlin media that amplifies Putin's propaganda

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

My first resistance post for today and it’s a nice little gem that reminds us all of what we face.

Ope.

It’s the #FAFO time!!

Time to mask up again. Schools in West Texas are closing as the state health department confirms 90 measles cases since late January. There are over a thousand cases at this point, with the disease now spreading over the border into New Mexico. www.chron.com/news/article...

Japan Expands Program to Treat Wounded Ukrainian Soldiers The new hospital is scheduled to start receiving patients in mid-March 2025 Japan has been accepting Ukrainian servicemen for treatment since June 2023. mil.in.ua/en/news/japa...

#DontCutMyMedicaid DON'T ! I currently suffer from stage 4 Melanoma. I'm on medicare, medicaid and SSDI . My son suffers from cystic fibrosis at one point in his life his pulmonary function dropped down to a dangerous 19 %, he was on Medicaid. DON'T TOUCH OUR HEALTH CARE Many Americans agree.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

A MUST-SEE‼️ The PayPal Mafia—Musk, Thiel, Sacks, and Botha—have ties to apartheid South Africa & a hand in US policy and the election. • Elon Musk – Unelected co-president, dismantling the government for his own gain. FUN FACT: His grandfather wanted to scrap democracy for technocrat rule. 🧵

Please consider using this link to ask Congress to protect NIH & medical research. It only takes a minute to complete. Thank you so much! #NIH #cancer #congress #medsky #cansky #academicresearch #research #science #politics #uspol #EduSky #PhDSky #AcademicSky #bluecrew #bluesky #megaboost

So many protesters 🪧 showing up today. @indivisible.org @tizzywoman.bsky.social More photos to come

Social Security is far too important to be raided by the Musk-rats 🐀😡

As a brown person myself I may have to follow the advice of these young people. Perhaps more plaid in my wardrobe selection

It will take more than a few Townhall kerfuffles, to put sufficient pressure on Congress to uphold laws and the constitution. It will take every Townhall gathering having outspoken citizens, confronting elected officials.

This is definitely tax evasion!

Pay attention!

When my Dad was over at Christmas he told me that in the town he grew up in, to this day, which pub you go to drink in is still defined by which side of the Miners Strike you were on in 84/85. Just a quick reminder that you don't have to forgive or forget, the people who betray you and your class.

Hey Canadians many Americans are with you as well. I certainly will not be visiting or spending any vacation money in a Red state and I live in SC.

Is this a thing? If so I am in and everyone in the Blue Tribe should be as well

Marco Rubio is already sidelined at the Department of State. So, he'll be reduced to the diplomatic weddings-and-funerals detail. Sad! puck.news/is-steve-wit...

Yep this is absolutely true

Texas measles outbreak grows to 90 cases, worst level in 30 years

Its to help the rich, screw the poor!!!!!

Doge cancel space X

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Why aren’t you here? Want to show the administration how you feel? Show up. Now. Lincoln Memorial. Please.

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

There’s a reason they’re trying to kill unions in the US.

God this is all so, so dumb

Judge Abelson of the USDC MD issued a preliminary injunction against the anti-DEI executive orders on Feb 21. His compelling opinion outlines numerous grounds for deeming the EOs unconstitutional, including 1st A freedom of speech. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Reminder that DeJoy's billionaire family are the largest shareholders of FedEx. He spent his entire term trying to destroy the USPS to increase market capacity for FedEx & to make the US govt reliant on FedEx instead of USPS. That's what the headline should be. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

Resistance is so 2017. What we need is to "punch Trump in the face" every single day. By that I mean we need to be going on the offensive and take fight to him. And we saw that this week with THREE Dem governors and a former NFL punter. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/this-week-...

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

I’ll repost this every time I see it. Greed is a mental illness.
