This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Start putting these under eggs at the supermarket 😃😃😃

Enrique Tarrio follows and insults officers who defended US Capitol on January 6 - The Guardian

Eggs are now so expensive they’re smuggling them like fentanyl.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

My #NBAAllStar fix. A 3 on 3 competition. No one wants to be showed up 3 on 3. One big, one guard, one wing minimum per team.* Do this every other year, off years do dunk and 3 point competitions. *I’d let each team pick 1 wildcard non all star player but that’s optional.

This is the way.

She’s concerned

Let me put it into perspective: 23-year-old Jack Teixeira, a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman, was sentenced to 21 years in prison in November for posting classified info on Discord. Meanwhile, Elon Musk shares classified info, and we just shrug. This isn’t a culture war; it’s a class war.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Somehow I missed this one. A United Regional Jet plane carrying 27 passengers and crew, slid off the taxiway at St. Louis Lambert International Airport yesterday. Where’s the guy from The Real World?

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

NEW: Department of Veterans Affairs employees have ID cards called PIV (Personal Identity Verification) cards to access their computers. Today, they removed the X binary marker in the enrollment portal. Note the “until we figure out how to inspect your genitals” language.

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

80m as it stands now. Anyone interested in sports and integrated AI summaries, still goes there for scores and more in-depth summaries. The sooner @bsky.app adds those features, the more users twitter loses, lowering the number of users @bsky.app needs to supplant Twitter as the first app opened

Something you won’t find on Twitter.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

This Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed Trump would ban anyone tied to Project 2025 from a job in a second Trump administration. “Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified Trump insider. 1/4🧵

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

I just want to thank multitudes of federal workers who have reached out to me with what’s going on in your respective agencies. It might not seem like much, but the simple act of reaching out is an act of resistance. So thank you 🙏

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

I can see it now. First you build hotels in Gaza. Then of course you go to the Ukraine. Find nothing but the best land and rebuild. .. You can train the staff at Mar a Lago ....

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Trump ends deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans - Miami Herald

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

"Dozens of employees who attended a diversity training course that former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos encouraged during President Donald Trump’s first administration have been placed on paid leave as part of Trump’s targeting of DEI programs"

BREAKING: Two USAID security officials denied Elon Musk’s DOGE crew access to classified material that they lacked clearance for. Trump just put them both on leave for doing their job. The lawlessness continues. Please make it STOP!
