"Pam Bondi is the first attorney general in history to have been a lobbyist for foreign governments. She also just disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Not one thing, nope.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

LOOK CLOSER: My oldest son operates a 300k crane. It's a big crane. Today, he was sent home early because the undocumented workers who do the hard, labor-intensive work staging the loads to be picked up didn't come to work. His current job site, which is usually bustling, is a ghost town.

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH. No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts. And no indication how long the pause will last. With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

The kids are allright…

It’s as if the Joker threw open the prison gates of Gotham.

The first day at work (the job of trying to save a nation worth living in), and I am struggling. So much to read! (All the new rules.) It’s rough. How are you doing? #Idiocracy #FOTUS

I loved and admired this woman. She was one I would follow into battle. A true fighter and ally in every way. God bless you Cecile Richards. Rest in Peace and Power. www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/u...

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

It’s beautiful!!!

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

People are wondering why Michelle Obama didn't attend Jimmy Carter's state funeral today. By convention, First Ladies sit to their husband's left at events like this. Take a look at who she'd be sitting next to. I understand, Michelle. Oh yes, how I do.

We know what we saw on January 6th, 2021, and we won’t let Donald Trump rewrite history. No lie, denial, or pardon will ever wash away that stain. youtu.be/kRDfIIZZIoI

Ever ever.

Boosting this for anyone who needs it today.

This is the cartoon the Washington Post would not run, for which cartoonist Ann Telnas resigned. If enough people post it, it will reach a wider audience than the Post’s readership. The figure in black is Jeff Bezos, who now controls the content of the paper.

Their opinions changed so quickly once they found out he was a huge Trump supporter

Important. They used this same argument to round up Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor using the military and to force us from our homes and into internment camps. Never again.

Apple TV is now free to watch all weekend. Plenty of time to watch all 4 seasons of Slow Horses. Thank me later.

So——is this like all the other Rump crimes—without consequence?

With each cabinet pick, we see more into Trump’s plans for America. @therickwilson.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social break down Trump’s commitment to certain cabinet picks, and what that says about his intentions. Catch the latest episode of the LP Podcast here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiFM...

Ok I’ll bite. What are Pete Hegseth’s qualifications to run a 3 million person, $800 billion military behemoth if he has never run anything bigger than a platoon, was run out of the conservative military charities he led due to alleged mismanagement and had to be babysat at Fox due to his drinking.

This budget attack!!!

It was indeed.

I will never, ever get over this.

SPEECHLESS!!!

Colonial Williamsburg is already dismantling its “honest history” website! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYAUXHHH/
