I’m glad we’re all appreciating Gov. Mills, but this “We are Federal Law” feels like a real “L’etat c’est moi” moment, non?

It’s Friday. Do you know where your representative is? If they’re a senator they’re probably sleeping off the vote-a-thon on budget amendments. The votes were on party lines (Democrats in array! Who knew?) so now might be a time to drop your Dems a note of thanks. drive.google.com/file/d/18HVJ...

This is @murray.senate.gov's effort to track what Trump has cut. I'd love to crowdsource a way to make this a point of exchange, to collect info from contractors who've gotten cut off, and match it to what she's learning as Appropriations Ranking. www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Trump's flurry of action is oddly familiar to me -- recalling my time as a reporter in China. Americans sometimes see his firehose of activity as disparate steps, a kaleidescope of craziness. But there is a coherent and alarming pattern: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/o...

The Union of Concerned Scientists studied 18 U.S. military installations to determine the effects of climate change and found 16 of the 18 could flood 100 times per year by 2050 with even moderate sea level rise.

I’ll confess that the Target house brand alt of cherry NyQuil tasted a little too good; but they recently changed the formula, and now it tastes like medicine, and that’s probably for the best.

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

I’ve reduced my news consumption so completely that I kind of thought I’d missed the Super Bowl this past weekend. Was feeling kind of smug, honestly.

I agree with this. Yes, he’s a terrible person, and his character is disqualifying; Rs don’t care. Focus on his lack of qualifications.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I asked Elon's Grok to detail Trump's crimes and how electing him was bad for democracy and the rule of law. The text was too long, so I took screenshots. Feel free to share them, on or off this site.

This goes by fast for a slow reader like me, but it was worth the time to roll back and catch up. Anyone have a suggestion for those of us who want to raise a flag for Dr. King tomorrow, so my neighbors know what I’m up to?

Trump literally leaving his supporters out in the cold while he and his billionaire buddies stay warm and cozy inside is the most Trumpian thing in the history of Trump. MAGA will never learn will they?

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
