The stock market is tumbling thanks to Trump's disastrous economic agenda. He's raising taxes on American families, and he hasn't done a thing to lower costs. Now, Trump won't guarantee there won't be a recession. The #TrumpSlump has begun.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show: They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.” Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag… Made in Nicaragua. They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee. Legendary.

Musk is a slime.

Facts

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

This is perfect. No notes

The people of Boston are sick of having people outside of Boston telling us what we need.

I don’t want to delve into conspiracy theory but this is the moment Micky Mouse pulled the plug on 538.

CAN WE GET LESS OF THIS AND MORE OF THIS PLEASE

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

Ben Meiselas lists the five things that Donald Trump did last week…

Trump and Vance are part of the tiny percentage of Americans who sympathize more with Russia (4%) than Ukraine (62%) and who view Putin more favorably (75% unfavorable) than Zelensky (28% unfavorable) today.yougov.com/politics/art...

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Of course.

The Virginia flag is really underrated, don't you think?

It appears that “administration officials are paying lip service to complying with the letter of the court orders while violating their spirit.” The impoundment machinations are elaborate, but courts should be able to see through them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

We are gathering the real stories of Americans affected by the outrageous actions of Trump, Musk, and their DOGE minions. Send us your story.

This is absolutely insane. They want to be able to see our tax records. Why? What purpose does this serve? Search our history so Elon can post about it? Attack their enemies? This is a five alarm fire! 🔥 wapo.st/3QizwcN

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

The “read only” bullshit was always a lie. A child has control of all of our payment information and a fifth of the US economy. This is a coup.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority. In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.
