Many of us who do a ridiculous amount of research are aware Trump has been a Russian asset since the 80's and went by the name "Krasnov" to hide his identity. Now, it's out in the open! Every journalist should question him on this, during his next press conference! trumpfile.org/former-kgb-c...

How high of O2 flow? I’ve had end stage COPD patients on hospice at 10 Liters O2 and be able to last 6-12 mos at home with hospice care.

Trump's key constituency: Cop beaters.

Literally every single federal employee should refuse and walk off the job. It’ll be interesting to see the results.

So ridiculous. As I previously noted: In 1900, at the height of protectionism, U.S. GDP per capita was, in inflation adjusted terms, $11,519 — less than Kazakhstan’s today. By contrast, after decades of free trade policies, U.S. per capita GDP in 2023 was $82,769. wapo.st/40AleZJ

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Medical bills and insurance premiums are going to go through the roof for ALL Americans!!!

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Not the primary culprit, but it’s also supremely & mortifyingly embarrassing for administrators of the Carter library to agree to cancel events like this. What’ll happen if they don’t? They test bluff? a presidential library is shut down by the White House, which has its own political opportunity?

My peace deal for Ukraine is Putin can have Trump. And Ukraine gets Ukraine.

These simple post-workout activities can help reduce pain and even improve athletic performance. But many people don't prioritize recovery and self-care after exercise.

Trump just fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, and pushed out five other admirals and generals, including the first woman to lead the Navy. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling work to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. “We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed.” https://propub.li/4370xr2

The same people causing the same problems all along through history.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Hey - Elroy wants to know what we got done this week. #AltGov added some new accounts, has been interviewed by multiple outlets, organized some upcoming actions, & dispelled his own lies about the astronauts on ISS. Comment what you did to #Resist. #WhatDidYouDoElon

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Civil servants are using whatever levers they have to resist the orders of the world’s richest man, both in public and behind closed doors. By banding together, federal workers say they hope to catalyze a wider movement. Nicholas Nehamas/Ryan Mac/Nikole Hannah-Jones www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...
