I used to do semi-important stuff - perhaps now is the time to jump back in. Blue skies ahead, indeed. In no particular order: (former) Dem campaign staffer, attorney, 'Hoo, Loyal Little, Irish Catholic, history major, proud Army wife, Éamonn's mom. 🫘

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

When I was last here 6 months ago, the world was so different! #resist

Its only been one generation, 80 yrs, all those men who died believing in democracy + now "its all down the drain".

🤷‍♀️

This provides a link to all of the affidavits showing specific accounts of USAID employees abroad.

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

I expect the Smithsonian soon will be ordered to have admission fees.

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson becomes the 5th judge *today* to block an aspect of Trump's early-term orders, this time the firing of ethics watchdog Hampton Dellinger. And night isn't over. yet ...

Tell your representatives to Stop Elon Musk! actionnetwork.org/call_campaig...

yep, I fully expect this to happen

The Democrats warned you about Project 2025. Trump lied about Project 2025. The Voters chose to elect Trump anyway, and gave him the House and Senate too. And now you're mad at the Democrats for not having the power to stop Trump?

What's actually scary is that the former illegal immigrant from South Africa, Elon Musk, doesn't seem to know that the government is the one that issues our social security numbers in the first place. 🤦‍♀️

Don't send a burglar to catch a thief.

$137k seems like a lot during times of austerity... oh, right... (some day I hope to live in a house that would require $49k worth of paint) www.yahoo.com/news/pete-he...

In his remarks, Declining Trump said that he had taken away Joe Biden's security clearance, but there is a significant issue: Biden does not have a security clearance in the first place. www.politicususa.com/p/declining-...

Um. If you have kids, you know. This kid has been told shit. This is not invented by a toddler. "Quietly just do whatever we want."

Trump's more focused on making himself the chair of the Kennedy Center board than on bringing down prices.

Talk about culture wars. While not affecting as many people as do many of his dictatorial actions, Trump's move to fire the Kennedy Center board and appoint himself chairman is a clear sign that he is a mad king.

Note that Elon may have pushed to reinstate Marko Elez, the self-described eugencist, at Treasury bc under Judge Kollar-Kotelly's order, he's the only coder who can access the payment system (Tom Krause is not a coder). But w/Judge Engelmeyer's order, neither can access it.

Crucial SF-50 forms, detailing job titles, salaries, and Social Security numbers, have disappeared from a federal database managed by the Office of Personnel Management.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This is terrible. The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house. Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

Is it wrong that I may have read this differently at first, @muellershewrote.bsky.social @dgcomedy.bsky.social ? www.linkedin.com/pulse/alarmi...

Also, what's with all the pro-Republican ads on @msnbc.com? @nicollewallace.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com can you do something - at least during your shows?

Well, this explains a lot (Elon's personal history with US AID and the ending of apartheid): the.ink/p/usaid-foug...

I expect Brian Driscoll will be fired within an hour after the Super Bowl concludes. Shame on them!

Do I think this is akin to the fall of the British Empire - yes, I do. Do I think Elmo will stop all government payments incl. social security and tax refund - yes, I do. Do I think FOTUS will turn over all of our national secrets to Russia, China, and other dictators - yes, I do. Any questions?

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

Finally, a backbone appears from the left! Go team!

"I certainly hope Congress takes action because what is happening here is illegal."

Think Tank Called ‘The Himmler Institute’ Assures Nation This All Legal theonion.com/think-t...

Ranking Members Takano & Brownley demand answers about the abrupt removal of both the Center for Minority Veterans and the Center for Women Veterans at VA.

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

The job of congress isn't to come on here and tell us stuff, that's the media's job. Your job is to tell us what you're going to DO about it.
