#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory These people have NO integrity whatsoever. Scott Curtis, a top ranking FEMA official who took Elon’s resignation deal was fired 13 days later. 4 hours after this article was published, his firing was reversed. Don’t Let Them Screw U www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

Pardon me? www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

Breaking: The Associated Press is suing three Trump administration officials in federal court for banning AP reporters from some of President Trump's events, the Oval Office, and Air Force One. Here's my full story: www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/m...

ALEXANDER: Fraud is a crime. Have you turned over evidence of fraud to the Justice Department, and when should we expect to see those indictments? LEAVITT: It's a clever question

A sliver of truth appears in the New York Post. Happy to see it.

Kilmeade: “But that’s all Russia’s fault, Mr. President. Russia did the inv…” Trump: (ignores Kilmeade’s remark) Kilmeade: “But Mr. President, that’s all Vladimir Putin’s fault. Don’t you agree?” Trump: (ignores Kilmeade’s question) “And then Zelenskyy complains that he’s not in a meeting…”

Glad someone wrote this (and glad it's Oliver, who's the best). One of my ways to see what non-news junkies are seeing is watching the 7 pm news shows, seeing what made it onto which block. And CBS took itself out of the game.

Recognize fascism for what it is. The current administration’s anti-information bent, idiot appointees, and mass firings are all part of the same authoritarian plan. Loyalty cannot come with caveats. He wants simps and sycophants; anyone capable of being more is a threat.

To work for Trump means to lie for Trump. To work for Trump means you can’t say the truth about who won the 2020 election, and you can’t say the truth about who started the war in Ukraine. www.mediaite.com/news/foxs-pe...

Yes, this morning on @cnn, I called Trump a Russian plant and/or a Russian asset. And I stand by it.👇 www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Trump is Team Putin.

Scoop: 40 news orgs have signed on to a letter circulated by the WHCA supporting the AP and denouncing Trump's move to block them from official events. The WHCA has gone through great pains to keep the letter from leaking, but I obtained a copy. Read it in Status: www.status.news/p/associated...

Lol

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Biden capped insulin at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden capped inhaler at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden stopped banks from hurting you with overdraft fees -- Republicans are now undoing it Trump, Musk, and the GOP are RAISING your costs

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

What is with these pieces of shit who celebrate hardworking, working class Americans losing their jobs so that billionaires can try to justify giving themselves massive tax cuts. Truly broken, brain-rotted losers.

"One casualty of the mass firings across federal health agencies are regulators who ensure drugs for pets and livestock are safe and effective." Not even our pets are safe anymore from this Trump Administration. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Trump's Panama Ambassador Nominee Marched With the Proud Boys in 2018 Video shows Kevin Marino Cabrera violently pounding on the door of a Democratic campaign office

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

Zelensky is fighting for freedom. The only thing Trump has ever fought for is himself.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

This is really sick: “Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,” Trump said.

Trump’s tariffs are yet another scam — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy. Trump even suggested he would use the revenue to “offset” more tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.

@elienyc.bsky.social: "New Yorkers should make the rest of Adams’s public life absolutely impossible. He walks around like he has no shame, and the prevailing wisdom is that he cannot be shamed into resigning—but let’s put that to an old-school Gotham test."

Well, it looks like Putin immediately and harshly flipped the middle finger at Trump's attempt to quickly and easily achieve a ceasefire, bring the war to an end, and bask in self-admiration as a peacemaker and savior of nations.

Hey MAGA, happy to let China and other nations gain an edge in scientific research? Good work, Trump voters.

Factcheck: Trump *creates* an environment of disinformation.

Be clear. $8 billion was an error. They misread $8 million! And it’s not saving. It’s cutting services, necessary research, assistance to millions here and overseas, and enforcement of laws that protect consumers and workers.

"My lunch with Kevin Hassett was the moment in which I stopped believing in meritocracy...He was merely the product of a system that needed people like Kevin Hassett to exist. And this system was designed to protect and promote the Kevin Hassetts of the world, irrespective of how silly they were."

After ceding power of the purse to Trump, Republican senators are now begging Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials to let money flow back into their states. What will these weak-willed lawmakers be willing to do for Trump in return?

This is correct.

It’s only a matter of time before Trump blames Poland for being invaded by the Nazis.

Scoop: Three former FCC chairs are speaking out against Brendan Carr's crusade against media companies. In a text message to me, Carr responded, writing, “Lol. Just three?” Then he sent a GIF. And then a lengthy tirade. All the details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/brendan-ca...

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Trump suggested Ukraine must hold elections and falsely stated that Zelensky’s approval ratings sit at just 4 percent. A survey published on Wednesday said some 57 percent of Ukrainians trust Zelensky, an increase of 5 points from a survey in December. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

DOGE confuses $Millions with $Billions. What’s a few zeros among friends?

A dodge from DOGE by DOJ:

Former FCC chairs, Republican and Democrat alike, are sounding the alarm over Brendan Carr’s crusade against media companies. In a statement to Status, Carr responded with a GIF—and a tirade. www.status.news/p/brendan-ca...
