Fox News:

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

Again.

“The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist,” she told me. “Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.”

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

The Trump-Musk war against workers continues. Last night, Trump issued a blatantly illegal executive order essentially destroying AFGE & NTEU, the unions representing federal employees. The Oligarchs don’t like unions. We do. Let’s stand together against this assault on workers.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

A come-to-Jesus moment for American lawyers, and for America's most important law firms. This is it. This is the moment you always imagined, where you told yourself you would do the right thing -- where you told yourself that your profession would stand up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elias and some other Democratic-aligned firms have pledged not to bend to Trump. “President Trump’s goal is clear,” Elias said in a statement. “He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

All you need to know about Twitter

I’ve now watched this clip like 10 times and it’s instant first ballot hall of fame. One of the most comically out of touch things I’ve ever heard heard from a public official.

No one who's trying to destroy the Department of Education has ever spent three minutes in a public school, and neither have their children or their grandchildren. None of the people destroying any of our valued public services have ever relied on them.

Seems accurate

Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.

Checking in on the “Make America Healthy Again” crowd.

By retracting foreign aid, President Trump could make the world’s deadliest infectious disease untreatable again, John Green writes. theatln.tc/h8ah2p2D

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

Get rid of this ridiculous “boys club” called DOGE. Stealing from the poor and vets is unconscionable. 😡

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

#GVerse Watch & Repost!!! Two criminals made a deal to steal the Presidency to keep each other out of prison. And they’ve been telling us on tape that they did this for months. #RemoveTrump #deportelonmusknow

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security. More of this please.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

“If the state can deprive an individual of his freedom simply because of his politics, which is what appears to have happened [to Mahmoud Khalil], then no one is safe,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/87FfKC8B

The trump kleptocracy is planning to sell our public lands to the fossil fuel and mining industries. We must stop them. Our public lands are not toys for rich people, but are treasures for all of us. Tell your representatives that our land is not for sale. And take your family to see our treasures.

He was a few months ahead of himself.

Facts

Bluesky has now replaced twitter as the top platform for finding out if there was an earthquake in LA

btw one thing I learned at the training i went to this weekend is that bc ICE isn't allowed anywhere in a business that a customer wouldn't be allowed, an employees only sign on a door is enough to cause them to need a warrant. "closed for a private event" guarantees the same

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Yosemite National Park workers hang distress flag to protest Trump and Musk coming for their jobs.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Exactly right

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Denise Chung—a 24-year DOJ veteran—just resigned rather than, what in her view, fabricate probable cause at the Deputy AG’s direction. This isn’t just a canary in the coal mine. It’s the coal mine coming. The Constitution demands probable cause. She refused to cross that line.

Thousands of people attended a Presidents Day protest in New York on Monday to oppose the Trump administration's policies, including major cuts to federal programs and staff. Demonstrations also took place in Washington, D.C., and other cities.

And on FOX NEWS, no less.
