Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Abuse of power is disgusting. This cruel rapist must be removed from power or we’re all fucked. Even maga. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone now that he’s consolidated power for nefarious ways.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Governor of Maine tells off Donald Trump to his face:

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Nicely done, Gov. Mills. This is how you stand up to a bully.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

They call public schools “government schools” so you won’t trust them. They call it “school choice” to make it sound like you have one. They whine about “parental rights” when they’re rights you already have. They call them school vouchers instead of what they are- discounts for the wealthy.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

The food we eat, the air we breathe, the schools our children attend, the banks where we keep our savings, and the planes we fly on are all less safe because Donald Trump is President.

DEVELOPING: The Trump Administration has started firing "several hundred" FAA probationary employees who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, according to their union. The move comes not even three weeks since the deadly midair collision over Washington, D.C.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Donald Trump is interested in the perks of the presidency, but not the work of the presidency. And Elon Musk is more than happy to fill the void.

Just imagine if Obama had thirteen kids with four baby mamas… Tell me more about “family values.” www.thedailybeast.com/republican-f...

THIS IS NOT GOOD! SECRET MEETINGS WITH RUSSIA IN RUSSIA?! WE MUST KNOW WHO WAS ON THIS FLIGHT! WHO IS SECRETLY MEETING WITH OUR ADVISORY?!

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

[First day working in an optometrists] Me: They’re called reading glasses but they don’t actually read. You still have to do that. Optometrist: Can I see you in my office? Me: *nudges customer* I would hope so lol

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

A sane and decent human sees that thousands of people will die because of the cut off of aid and asks: What can I do to fix this? Donald Trump asks: How can we hide the evidence and who can we fire?

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

RFK Jr is likely to be confirmed for our nation’s top health position. Yet he has no medical education or qualifications. None. We are unable trust his opinions or decisions. What a terrible situation for America

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.
