Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

That Trump is now calling Pres. Zelensky a “dictator” and it talked the U.S. into spending $350 billion (a lie) for a war Ukraine started (another disgusting lie) should remind you the White House occupant is mentally deranged and must be opposed at all times.

Die US-Botschaft in Wien muss - wie alle US-Botschaften weltweit - ihr New York Times-Abo kündigen. Und alle Abos des Economist, von Politico, Bloomberg News, Associated Press und Reuters. Macht Diplomat·innen sicher besser, wenn sie schlechter informiert sind. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

TRUMP: “We don’t have to buy Gaza. We’ll take it.” Q: “Under what authority?” TRUMP: “Under 🇺🇸 authority.”🤔 Translation: He sees it as a real estate deal to enrich himself, his family, and his friends — at the expense of the people.

"I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask" "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity" "Normalize Indian hate" "I was racist before it was cool" These are things a DOGE staffer wrote. He resigned. Musk and his followers want to bring him back.

Tesla sales in Germany have plummeted by almost 60%. Sales in other countries also dropping fast. Elon Musk is currently the 2nd most hated oligarch on Earth after helping coup d'état the United States & sieg heiling in front of millions in celebration. Calls to boycott Musk products are global.

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.

Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961? Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional? Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.

No, we don't need investigations. We don't need Senators posting on social media. We need you to literally grind everything to a halt in the Senate & get in front of microphones on the Capitol steps calling for the fascists to resign & your GOP colleagues to vote with you to impeach & remove them.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

On 7 April 1933, the German government issued the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which excluded Jews and other political opponents of the Nazis from all civil service positions. One provision aimed to remove personnel deemed unreliable due to their political beliefs.

Democrats, this weekend is D-Day. You must go out tomorrow, take up as much space in media as possible, get in front of cameras, shout at the top of your lungs. None of this "egg prices!" stuff either. The narrative has to be "Trump and Musk are seizing the government and pursuing retribution."

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

Frustrated there's not more I can do directly, but for now I can just try to document reality. Elon is bringing his Twitter destruction playbook to the US government, and it's impossible to explain just how serious and bad this is. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/e...

In the Handmaid’s Tale the extremists gained power by freezing people’s access to their money: bank accounts frozen, credit cards don’t work. Sounds insane but if you have control of government payment levers and private companies willing to do your bidding…dystopian fiction is our reality now

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
