Guessing it’s not a coincidence Trump is celebrating @Msnbc.bsky.social firing of @joyannreid.bsky.social days after same day 2.12.25 announcement of #RebeccaKutler named MSNBC Pres and the FCC informing @Comcast.bsky.social it’s opening an investigation into the company's DEI policies? #WeNeedJoy

Here to support my friend @joyannreid.bsky.social as she signs off, her last show! She's one of the best!!!

An unqualified President appoints an unqualified Defense Secretary who fires a qualified Joint Chief of Staff and replaces him with an unqualified sycophant. This is Trumps definition of meritocracy.

👇🏽

Alina Habba, who is ostensibly a lawyer, claims on Fox & Friends that Trump "made the law" with his executive orders (executive orders are not laws -- only Congress can make laws)

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Floating the idea of them stupid ass checks from DOGE is literally a distraction while they keep ruining the country. "Here's 5000 bucks, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (wizard of oz reference)

“I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, Marc Elias” Be like Marc. #Defiant @marcelias.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

No lie detected 👇🏽

My best investment advice

Today, the full Senate is expected to vote on Kash Patel's nomination as Director of FBI. CALL YOUR SENATORS! 📱 U.S. Capitol (202) 224-3121 📱 Tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination!

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

This FACT SHEET offers great info to share with others who may not follow any political news. I took an excerpt from it, basically @murray.senate.gov quotes, & submitted it as a letter to the editor of our local newspaper (see next post). 1/2 www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

Under no circumstances should Democrats work with Republicans for the next two years. This might be a hot take and a Valentine's Dinner solo with bourbon take. But F them. They don't give a damn about democracy or the constitution. So figure this shit out alone. DO NOT HELP THEM. PERIOD

Critical reporting.

BREAKING: RFK Jr, the most unfit and unqualified candidate for HHS Secretary, has just been confirmed by the Senate. With a drunken abuser heading the Pentagon, and a convicted felon in the White House, America clearly isn't hiring its best.

The Russians are celebrating, and our allies are horrified. Honestly, I don’t see how our allies can trust us and share sensitive intelligence with Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.

Using executive orders to circumvent Congress is unconstitutional, you say, Republicans?

Christian and Jewish groups come together, arguing that ICE's new policy of making arrests at their places of worship violates the First Amendment and asking the courts to enjoin it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Elon Musk has been attacking USAID — because USAID has been investigating Musk Why? Because USAID paid for the Starlink units Musk claimed to give Ukraine in 2022 (!!!) Some ended up with Russia — so USAID opened an inquiry Meanwhile Musk started speaking to Putin in late 2022

There are people out there that are going to die because King Elon shut down their NIH trials for drugs that might save your life next.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Happy Black History Month! Kendrick Lamar, Sza, Serena Williams, and Samuel L. Jackson in the Super Bowl halftime show. And Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles up 24-0 at halftime. ✊🏾

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

There is still beauty in this world

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Ezra Klein explains Steve Bannon's "muzzle velocity" strategy to "flood the zone" with illegal executive actions to keep us distracted and convince us that Trump is a king instead of pushing legislation that would make a permanent impact as a president. Klein argues it’s backfiring.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

The Trump fascist plan: Change the Constitution by executive fiat Have Elon pillage the treasury Fire anyone who might investigate you Take over all media Create an “enemy” like DEI to unify MAGA And attack your opponents to quell dissent “Now I realize he’s a total fascist” General Milley

This is a national emergency:

May she Rest in Peace & Power.

So true.

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people." --Greenland

Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Education has been flying below the radar screen. It’s time to put a stop to that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
