Matt Bevin: typical Ky Republican deplorable person

Chief Justice John Roberts paused a lower court order that would have required the Trump administration to release over $1.5 billion to aid organizations for work that was approved by Congress. This marks Trump’s first legal victory of his second term.

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah. “Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

Why am I only hearing about this from the UK press?

And just under half of America thinks 🤷🏻‍♀️ and allows him to continue on...

Disgrace our democratic ally and then go skiing for dessert

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Here’s what Kentucky Republicans did this week.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

Jesus.

Elon Musk has siphoned off more money in taxpayer dollars since November than the entire USAID annual budget. He is the real welfare queen. #fireelon

Whatever they're planning is really bad to force a mass resignation like this. apnews.com/article/doge...

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.

Thousands of people marched in DC in solidarity with Ukraine and against impunity by oligarchs like Trump and Putin. They gathered outside the Russian embassy. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #USprotests #DCprotests #StandWithUkraine

Just who the sane world wants heading, oh, anything: Edward Coristine, the 19-yr-old known as Big Balls

The Moscow Institute of Computer Science has "caught fire", I felt a great disturbance in the algorithm, as if millions of bots suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

The Trump administration is taking aim at our free, fair, and secure elections. Read: bit.ly/4i15hmk

There are a lot of reasons why people should be concerned about the damage DOGE is wreaking behind closed doors, but sorry, the head count and budget of U.S. intelligence agencies should be public information — no reason for it to be classified.

“A Feb. 14 memo directed procurement teams at embassies and consulates to prioritize the termination of contracts with six news organizations in particular: the Economist, the New York Times, Politico, Bloomberg News, the Associated Press and Reuters.” www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

"Where is congress? do your job." At the DC protest. #3E #USProtests #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings #Feb17

H.R.1339 - To direct the Comptroller General of the United States to carry out a study relating to the resiliency of Social Security and Medicare. 119th Congress (2025-2026) | Get alerts Sponsor: Rep. Nunn, Zachary [R-IA-3] (Introduced 02/13/2025)

Note to self: Avoid flying, airports, all things aviation on Monday.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

“When we see ourselves represented in history, that is also life-saving and really empowering, to say, well, trans folks have done this. They’ve stood up to oppressive governments before and paved the way for rights that we have today.” www.salon.com/2025/02/14/c...

This:

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

Remember how they said they were going after criminals? That was funny.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake
