“Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.”

Good thing we are not in a race against any adversarial countries over science and technology www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Amen to that.

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.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Good. Keep it going. It's not just Americans who should boycott this lunatic, he has his eyes on Europe. He treats countries as resources to be sucked dry for their minerals. Everyone should boycott him.

Maine Governor Janet Mills has won this week’s Danielle Sassoon Profile in Courage Award.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

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

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.

I have to give Canadians credit for how well they are still sticking to not buying products made in America.

My wife ordered eggs with our Fred Meyer grocery order. They are completely out. Had to go to the little local store here in town. $9.99 a dozen. But at least we have the Gulf of America. We are living in the dumbest timeline.

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.

Thought your Social Security was safe?

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

"Selling out might work . . . if you never have to look at yourself in the mirror." Laurence H. Tribe joins @katiephang.bsky.social with the latest on attacks to our nation's bedrock principle on the 'rule of law.' Don't miss this conversation! @MSNBC.com

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

Climate change is the biggest crisis humanity faces in the 21st century and just because they are trying to eliminate all mentions of the word “climate“ doesn’t actually solve anything.

My mother's life was prolonged by an organ donor. It's such an important process that touches so many people. Yet the current government is firing people who aim to make it more efficient so it can save more lives. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I'm here outside the Tesla showroom in Devon, Pa. west of Philly where about 10 hearty souls are protesting unelected billionaire Elon Musk #TeslaTakedown

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

"Good trouble." @sifill.bsky.social joins the #KatiePhangShow to commemorate Black History Month and discuss AG Bondi's promise to penalize private companies who utilize DEI programs. Tune in now! @MSNBC.com

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Chief of Naval Operations were hired because they were superbly qualified, not because of DEI. But they were fired because they were black and a woman. That's racism and sexism. Call it what it is.

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Uhhhhhh www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

📞🇺🇦 Zelensky: There is a lot of coordination with leaders now, and not only in Europe. 🇵🇱Poland, 🇭🇷Croatia, 🇨🇿Czech Republic, 🇸🇪Sweden, 🇱🇺Luxembourg, 🇸🇮Slovenia, 🇮🇪Ireland, 🇨🇮Côte d'Ivoire. Thank you all for your support! 🤝

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Something I've now heard from federal worker constituents at several agencies: Musk and Trump's mass firings are clearing out all personnel from FOIA offices and leaving them completely empty, it sounds obviously intentional.

He nails it.

HELL YEAH!! The largest organization of professional and amateur surfers has just SLAPPED Donald Trump with a major lawsuit to protect California beaches from off shore drilling. SEE YOU IN COURT!

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

So beyond disappointed in @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social - what an absolute pathetic disgrace of a #VichyDemocrat she has turned out to be. We are going to ride with our fighters. Rest of them should get primaried and/or never let back in Dem politics. Never forget traitors like Gretchen.

As the Atlantic's @radiofreetom.bsky.social explains, Trump is capturing all the key ministries one needs to hold power in a dictatorship www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We're going to wake up one day soon to learn that tRump has sold Alaska to Putin. Watch. And if you think that sounds utterly ridiculous, you haven't been paying attention.

Good news for sure, but the takeaway -- one we need to repeat over and over -- is he tried to screw 9/11 heroes and got caught.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.
