“Basically, Netanyahu is the same person as Chavez in Venezuela, Bolsonaro in Brazil, Orban in Hungary. It’s a kind of disease that encompasses the world, this populist wave.”

You couldn't pay me enough to watch Trump vomit lies and disinformation on Tuesday night. Remember to BOYCOTT and give him shitty ratings like last time!

The Crypto Strategic Reserve is more than a money scam. It's a plot to dismantle democracy and replace nation-states with "network states." Tech bros have openly discussed it for years. For the @newrepublic.com, I wrote about their scary and dystopian vision. newrepublic.com/article/1857...

NEWS: Donald Trump is discussing ending all military assistance to Ukraine, Pete Hegseth stops all offensive cyber operations to Russia, Russia praises Trump's vision, and the measles outbreak grows. Consider subscribing for more! open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

"A small group of Republicans in the Senate and House, acting in concert among themselves and in cooperation with the Democrats, could make a fundamental difference. With their support, Congress could insist that aid for Ukraine be added to appropriations bills." www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-wee...

I work at Fox News because its critical that Americans hear opposing viewpoints about the critical issues in our public discourse. Right now, Trump voters are having buyer's remorse. Approval ratings are down. Constituents are fed up. It's just the beginning.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

Surprise surprise: Elon Musk hasn’t found a cent of waste or fraud in the $13 billion his companies receive from the taxpayer. His company Starlink is now trying to swipe a $2.4bn FAA contract on top of that. Don’t be fooled by claims of “efficiency”: It’s pure corruption.

It is one of the Utah State Legislature's cruelest ironies that the more controversial the bill? The smaller the committee hearing room. #utpol

Tomorrow is expected to be the biggest day of anti-Trump protests so far this year, with peaceful rallies planned outside all 50 state capitals, and other major cities. And over the weekend, all across the country, folks were standing up and speaking out against Musk and Trump. More good news here:

The projection king. We chronicled and documented all the paid operatives Trump had at his events during his campaign posing as rando citizens. This also shows you that these protests are working and he is hearing it from his allies in Congress.

National disgrace JD Vance was moved to an undisclosed location in Vermont, after peaceful protesters lined the streets, and gathered outside of the resort where he was planning to stay. Folks brought lots of creative homemade signs, with one reading: “Go ski in Russia, traitor.” More good news:

Great news for money launderers!

The Washington Post is a propaganda paper. Do not subscribe nor read their bullshit!

SSRS Trump approval poll among Independents (28/2): 🟤 Disapprove 59% (+18) 🟢 Approve 41%

The Trump administration ‘wants to destroy the European Union’ Former US ambassador to the EU Anthony Gardner on the priorities European countries should have ahead of the Ukraine summit, and to keep wary of the US

Former East German Stasi officer and close Putin ally Matthias Warnig, who is under US and UK sanctions, is touting plans for the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany to be reopened with U.S. backing and investors (per Financial Times reporting) tvpworld.com/85360946/put...

There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.

If we overturned Citizens United, the wealthiest Americans wouldn't have as much influence on policy decisions and avenues of corruption wouldn't exist. Just saying.

We cede no ground, we cede no territory—we push forward, go on the offense, and ensure our framework and worldview prevail instead of existing within the contours of a right-wing hellscape and constantly playing defense. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Not looking for brownie points, but would appreciate it if you share the stories of others who left MAGA: leavingmaga.org/they-left-ma...

President Musk is really enjoying the White House.

For the first time in our history, the assistant to the President will be delivering the State of the Union tomorrow night.

Alight runs six centers for extremely malnourished children in Sudan, where the group treats babies + infants so sick that they will die within hours without ongoing care...They're trying to fundraise, knowing that the day they close their doors, children will die www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Let them eat each other... 🍜🍜🍜

Over the last 24 hours, MAGA has been ceaselessly spreading the claim that Democrats - from Susan Rice to Tony Blinken to me - pushed Zelensky to reject the minerals deal. Total lie. Made up out of thin air. Zero sources. 1/ A short lesson how these lies spread in MAGA world.

NEW: Trump’s advisors and donors are meddling in a Democratic primary to oust Pittsburgh’s first Black Mayor, Ed Gainey. This is a foreshadowing of what’s to come for incumbent Democratic Mayors—especially Black and brown mayors.

"So our allies are properly alarmed and outraged. The Putin regime, on the other hand, is gleeful and triumphant." Never surprising, never not shocking and shameful. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, @eggerdc.bsky.social, and @samsteindc.bsky.social:

In D.C., the rally will be held at the Lincoln Memorial.

Zelensky traveled to London for a summit with European leaders to discuss joint defense and security plans yesterday. The USA did not. Europe is the new WORLD LEADER!! President Zelensky is flying to London ahead of European summit.

Elon donated a shit ton of money to Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, Schimel, immediately after Tesla launched its appeal. This case will be headed to Justice Schimel’s desk. Corruption At Its Finest. www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-musk-...

Floyd Mayweather is a strip club owner who has been convicted on multiple occasions of domestic violence and battery.

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years. Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine. It’s a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you

Americans who served their nation have a right to be remembered for their service — not for someone to decide if they are American-enough to be remembered This is **our** history Adding voices helps us know ourselves better Taking them away, the abyss www.tpr.org/military-vet...

Letter: Since when did we abandon our democratic partners in favor of dictators?

Woke up this morning thinking about the fact that three autocratic, anti-democratic regimes—the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America—now constitute a majority of the permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council.

RFK Jr finally recommends vaccination to deal with the measles outbreak hitting Texas right now. This is quite the about face for a man who’s been spreading harmful anti-vaxx rhetoric for years. www.axios.com/2025/03/03/k...

No one is going to be confused when the Pentagon starts offensive cyber operations against the EU

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

MAGA’s ‘Sidney Powell for AG’ campaign has officially launched.
