Elon Musk gave Trump $250m, so Trump handed him control of America's checkbook. Musk and his 20-something DOGE cadre can now access your social security number, home address and more. This is unprecedented corruption, an invasion of privacy, and a threat to national security.

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

Oh, hell no! We cannot let Republicans send our beloved grandmas and grandpas, kids, people with disabilities, and others over the cliff by taking away their Medicaid money only to give it to the rich by way of generous tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans.

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

It's nuts what is happening.

What is happening in Guantanomo? Atrocities? We need investigative journalists to report.

Per @scaramucci.bsky.social: “He just fired the Joint Chief of Staff. Wants to install a puppet. For those who think that he is contemplating leaving, they don’t understand what happened on January 6.”

Beshear starting to slowly ramp up the language as Kentucky waits for Trump to approve assistance for households. In a video last night Beshear said the federal government needs to “step up.”

They are destroying us from within every federal government department.

Republicans are making America the shithole country.

Why do so many Americans hate democracy? It's baffling.

“This could severely hinder WVU's efforts toward obtaining the first National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in WV. This is critical, as West Virginians have the worst outcomes for many types of cancer in the country.” westvirginiawatch.com/2025/02/12/c...

Donated.

Fantastic piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social of the resegregation of America under Trump.

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

One reason Trump is doing this is bc Trump has failed to come close to meeting his deportation promises. If that were to become a bigger narrative--if the mob learned that he was diverting NatSec resources yet is falling behind Sleepy Joe Biden's deportation numbers--Trump'd be in trouble.

A side benefit of the mass firings is that those who are left will be terrified of losing their jobs and will go along with any illegal order our criminal president gives them.

despicable.

New, from me: Unpacking the Friday night news: *The military purges have begun - why do they also include lawyers? *A Judge is allowing the dismantling of USAID to proceed. This reflects a pattern where Judges are ignoring the broader democratic risks. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I'm not so sure I can do this at this point in the game, but I'm willing to try.

The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations, exemplifying Trump and DOGE's corruption, cruelty and gross incompetence.

JUST IN - Now 5 of the Speakers at CPAC have given the Fascist Nazi salute (as part of the 2025 event) before promising 100% loyalty to their “Chosen” Mein Der Fuhrer CRIMINAL FELON/RAPIST … DICTATOR47 and the Reich 2025 American Empire 👇👇 www.huffpost.com/entry/steve-...

“Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds,” - Robert Oppenheimer in Los Alamos, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945. Musk proclaims "I am become meme" while wearing the "deal with it" shades and a shirt that says "I'm not procrastinating, I'm doing side quests" at CPAC. Just embarassing.
