Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump adviser, indicted for child sex crimes.

You know, I've never once had a LGBTQ person force their "lifestyle" on me. But these miserable greedy billionaires, man, they are in my face every goddamn day.

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

Time to mute the Rocky myth. We should celebrate the excellence of Philly’s real fighters instead. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

We reviewed the federal contracts DOGE slashed in Pennsylvania. Most were for minority or women-owned businesses.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

If your “natural immunity” is so great that you “don’t need vaccines” then why do you need to buy so many supplements and potions and veterinary pharmaceuticals? If infections aren’t actually a problem at all then why are you using horse dewormer on them?

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

Just saying

Shorter Ram Emanuel: “I am a rapist, therefore trans people do not exist.”

BREAKING The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

MAGAs are gutting: •Medicaid—60M Americans need to survive •SNAP—40M Americans need to eat •School Lunch—30M kids need daily •Housing Assistance—5M families need to live ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 Billionaires In a word—BARBARIC. Here's how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-republ...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The Trump Justice Department is declining to prosecute a sitting Republican Congressman who was referred to them by the DC police for beating a woman.

Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “A program is not waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It is not fraud just because he doesn’t like it."

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

A profile of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, & whom current Defense Secretary and former Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth fired tonight.

Daily reminder of who Musk is:

Gentle reminder that most members of Patriot Front in New England are known and identified quantities.

Exclusive: FDA staff reviewing Musk’s Neuralink were included in DOGE employee firings, sources say www.reuters.com/world/us/fda...

Transportation Department workers with 'exceptional' reviews were told they were fired for 'performance' issues: "These letters that we're sending these employees, I feel so bad because they’re lying." "All of them, pretty much, were exceptional performers." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Guess What Happened Today? After I posted on social media that Oscar Health has denied my daughter's life saving medication that she needs to live, medication she needs due to an incurable disease that is fatal if not treated—guess who called? /1

Minneapolis theater group doubles down on DEI initiatives as federal funding is threatened

Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

So you can just say you work at DOGE and pillage anything from our documents you want. The law truly doesn't exist anymore! Cool!

American insurance companies — quietly, and with little government pushback — have assumed an outsize role in mental health care. People in pain are paying the price. On Feb. 20, join us for a virtual discussion about how insurers interfere with mental health care. RSVP:

The State Department's "procurement forecast for 2025, which details purchases the agency expects to make, includes $400 million for armored Tesla vehicles."

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

The constitutional crisis goes hand in hand with the attack on the civil service and a politicized legal infrastructure. Federal employees are much less likely to resist following illegal orders when General Counsels are telling them its ok, and they would otherwise lose their jobs.

Four FEMA officials were fired for not following illegal orders to withhold spending. The White House is saying of judicial decisions: "These unlawful injunctions are a continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump." These are not warning signs. This is happening now.

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

It's sad that so many media outlets have fallen for all the distractions, from Greenland to Gaza to tariffs that keep getting delayed, when the real goal is Musk's dismantling of the government The Philadelphia Inquirer gets it. Our latest editorial: www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...

Not that it matters but SpaceX fraudulently submitted faked and incomplete test results to TCEQ and EPA last year, which is a felony that they used to put people in prison for, and the EPA ignored it.
