🇵🇱🇺🇸 President Duda waited outside Trump's door for 1.5 hours to talk to him for 10 minutes, according to Polish media.

Idiocracy was a documentary

Senate Republicans voted to give $4 trillion in tax cuts to corporations and the ultra-rich while failing to protect programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans voted "no" on our efforts to make housing more affordable, and they rejected efforts to reduce grocery prices. (1/2)

Politico’s owner liked Vance cozying up to the Nazi-tainted AfD. Good to know.

This is what true politicization of the DoJ looks like.

In case you’re having a bad day, new polling shows Assistant President Poopy Pant’s approval rating and personal popularity are going down faster than Lauren Boebert’s hand at a kid’s musical. Happy #PresidentsDay indeed.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

The Great Lakes states have, for years, been fighting an invasion of lamprey eels, which were devastating the fish stocks in the lakes. Trump fired the people who've almost succeeded in doing that. www.bridgemi.com/michigan-env...

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

DOGE is about to receive full access to IRS taxpayer data. On its own, that’s horrific. But it gets worse. The guy with access reposted content by Nick Fuentes (who advocates killing Jews) & says he was inspired to join DOGE by Ron Unz (an antisemitic Holocaust denier). This is beyond dangerous.

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

Seventy-one-year-old woman dies after being sent home from USAID funded hospital. Others die after hospitals close in refugee camps www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

🚨 BREAKING: Fox News reports that Trump’s @TheJusticeDept is dropping the case against Mayor Eric Adams—just months after Adams spent his time groveling to Trump. This isn’t justice. This is corruption in plain sight. The rule of law is officially dead.

BRUTAL.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

News from @stephenneukam.bsky.social: Senate Democrats will hold the Senate floor for the full 30 hours of debate over Russ Vought’s nomination. They’ll hold the floor Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. You did this, y’all.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

aaaand now it all makes sense

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

Insane

Dems are rolling in finally. youtube.com/shorts/1cyk1...

How odd that when Trump announced his “deal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Exactly.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Call your Congressman and Senator, let them know how you feel. (202) 224-3121 ICE raids, deportations, tarrifs and trade wars are mere distractions compared to the illegal acts being perpetrated by Elon Musk and his crew of pimplefaced potatopirates. #stopmusk Flood the phone lines!

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

How is Trump hoping to improve air safety?!

The federal government *regularly* spends money to encourage behavior it couldn’t compel directly. Like paying states to build roads or fund healthcare for those who can’t afford it. It’s called the Spending Clause—and it’s the very first enumerated power that the Constitution gives to Congress. 🤦🏻‍♂️
