(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Hold the fuck on — members of Elon Musk's private security detail have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service? What the actual fuck?!?!?

I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

As it turns out the only immigrant coming for your job is Elon Musk.

Medicare will cut all telehealth coverage on April 1, putting millions—especially seniors & disabled Americans—at risk of losing critical care. Use my free, prewritten letter via Resistbot to demand Congress take action now! It’s fast, easy, and vital. Send it here: resist.bot/petitions/PB...

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

There are some self-proclaimed Christians pushing voucher scams. Vouchers take money from public schools and give it to wealthy parents who already send their kids to private school. I can’t think of anything more un-Christian than stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Scaring people into quitting didn’t work, so now it’s a new game. X isn’t for gov’t business, and not replying to an email isn’t a legal resignation. We could’ve had housing help, tax breaks for workers, and better healthcare. Instead, we’re stuck with this.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare. newrepublic.com/post/191740/...

In the past few weeks there's been a sense that Trump's politics have won some kind of overwhelming semi-permanent victory. This is my reply. youtu.be/t7uO5lG-Gv4

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The dismissal of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came as part of a broader shakeup that has rattled national security officials, who fear they could be next, report @shaneharris.bsky.social and @jonlemire.bsky.social: theatln.tc/fPpdXnEs

This completes the coup circle. One of Musk's DOGE thug hackers is the grandson of a KGB spy. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…

Seen just now at CPAC… The most un-American party of all time.

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

🔥 Governor Janet Mills just bench-pressed Trump’s bullying and walked out without breaking a sweat. 🔥 At the White House, Trump tried his usual mob boss routine—demanding obedience, dangling federal funds, and threatening political careers. But Mills? She didn’t flinch. She didn’t fumble. 1/1

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

This is how it’s done.

NEW: DOGE has operated in relative darkness even as it appears to be behind an explosive — and legally disputed — overhaul of the government. But details about the Musk-led agency teams have emerged in court. We review (and link to docs) here: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Every time someone fights back it gives heart to the resistance. Thanks for fighting, AP. Keep fighting, all.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

The contempt he has for his constituents...

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office

FOX BUSINESS: The markets are closing weakly. Rough day today *cuts to Kudlow* KUDLOW: Stocks are swooning!

KUDLOW: "There could be some short term, one-off price hikes. But at least for now, the economic signals are flashing slower growth and higher inflation. Not good." 😬😬😬

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Judge clears path to pull USAID personnel off the job: A Trump-appointed judge on Friday greenlit the administration’s plans to place thousands of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees on administrative leave and recall many from field offices around the world. U.S. District…

Two members of the US House introduced a bill to establish a bipartisan select committee to explore alternative electoral methods beyond the current winner-take-all system. UCS’s Liza Gordon-Rogers breaks down the proposal in her latest blog.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I am doing everything I can to protect my grandchildren‘s future. I’m helping organize, I’m protesting, I’m writing letters, I’m calling my elective officials, I’m boycotting and anything else I can do to protect my grandchildren‘s future. #MomSky #ChildrenAreTheFuture #AmericaHasNoKings

WATCH THIS CLIP!

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
