Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

JUST A REMINDER…👇 Pass. It. On. ✨

Elon Musk's super PAC donated $1 million to support conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel. Schimel's opponent, liberal candidate Susan Crawford, criticized the donation, alleging Schimel is being bought. I think — or hope! — Musk’s attempt to influence this race will backfire.

U.S. stocks took a massive nosedive after reports showed worries about how Donald Trump’s policies will likely affect the economy

Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media.

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

Gov Mills is a hero.

Always stand up to a bully

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

BREAKING: The SEC has dropped its enforcement case against Coinbase. Coinbase spent $46 million to influence the outcome of the election. Now they're already getting their payoff.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about ‘credible death threats’ when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary."

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

OMG this is horrible. Rebecca Marodi, a California fire captain who was targeted by the right-wing as being a “DEI hire” & blamed for the LA fires, has been found stabbed to death. May she rest in power. 💔

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

During FY2024, under President Biden, 28% of immigration arrests were of people who had no criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. In Februrary, under President Trump, it's 41%. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

is this bad?

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil former leader Bolsonaro knew and agreed to a plan to poison President Lula, top prosecutor says.

DOGE is arguing in court that Trump is calling all the shots and Musk isn't the DOGE administrator. Trump here admits he's not calling the shots. So if he's not, and Musk isn't, then who is the DOGE administrator? @normeisen.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social

People that don’t agree with Elon deserve prison. Ain’t you glad he ain’t in charge? No. Wait!

It’s fitting that DOGE is just one big ‘rug pull.’ Elon, DOGE, Trump, and the MAGA media announce they've found an instance of massive fraud—one so absurd it on its face. Within hours, it collapses under the weight of its own lies. Then, without hesitation, they move right onto the next scam.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Oh, I remember that, too. How dare Secretary Pete bring his husband along! The GOP and its mouthpiece are hypocritical bigots.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

Musk wants to inspect our IRS data to catch everyday Americans committing tax fraud—an overreach of DOGE’s power. Personal tax data has nothing to do with government efficiency.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

"Lawyers in Panama say it is illegal to detain people without a court order for more than 24 hours. Roughly 350 migrants deported by US have been locked in a hotel, in Panama City, for nearly a week. Armed guards prevent any of deportees from leaving the hotel. Several are children” ❗️ per NY Times

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

NEW 👀: As predicted, Judge Ho has ordered a hearing for 2 p.m. this Wednesday to explore why the DOJ has moved to dismiss the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

A week ago, Musk refers to DOGE as "we"

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.
