Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

No notes

well done, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Will felon/GOP/oligarchs’ extreme chaos trigger USA recession, possibly global depression with massive layoffs of workers; negative impact on U.S. farmers, families, small businesses; cutting Americans’ benefits; tariffs; trade wars; shredded trade agreements; turning on ally countries; imperialism?

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

Or, as the "commander in chief" describes them: "suckers & losers."

Weird way to drink “water”…

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

It's either a fight now, or a fight later", she's not wrong. Video 1/3

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Beautiful connection

it's sad that my state of mind right now is "well, at least it's not as bad as it's going to get."

Louisiana’s top health official said in an internal memo to the state’s Health Department that it would no longer use media campaigns or health fairs to promote vaccination against preventable illnesses.

I miss WKRP in Cincinnati. Poignant. Brilliant. First your censor the word then you censor the idea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ2O...

Incredible.

Lol nothing matters

The Attorney General of the United States — the chief *law enforcement* officer of the country — just told Apple and Google that they can break the law with impunity. Maybe you like this result; but is this the kind of country you want to live in? open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

“A form letter sent to Department of Education employees informing them of their termination stated: “The Agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the Agency would be in the public interest.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/p...

You’d think the damned attorney general would know the difference between criminal charges and a civil suit.

A nice op-ed attacking Trump by some guy named Mitch McC— … wait what??

“If Sleepy Joe wants to see any classified documents, he’ll have to come down to Mar-a-Lago, like everyone else.”

Watch Scott Jennings get ridiculed for saying the Pope’s comments are “irrelevant” because “we don’t live in a theocracy” — apparently his GOP didn’t send him the memo.

Trump just screwed Alabama twice—Tuberville is silent. NIH funding cuts hit the University of Alabama, risking jobs & life-saving research. Also Trump’s executive order killed grants, letting utility companies raid Alabamians’ bank accounts. No wonder they call him Florida Man—he’s MIA in Alabama.

NEW: The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed the complaint on behalf of US federal workers, arguing that DOGE’s data access is illegal and should be cut off.

We know

Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs. And lying about their connection to Project 2025. They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda. And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

A moment for petty resistance: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. Click on the 3 little dots to the right of "Gulf of America" 3. "Send Feedback" 4. Click on "Gulf Of America" text 5. Select "Inaccurate content" 6. Select "Incorrect" & type "The rest of the world calls it Gulf of Mexico" or what I wrote👇

Keep making phone calls to your Senators, Representatives that you are not alright with this.

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

"I was racist before it was cool" "I would not mind if Gaza and Israel were wiped off the face of the Earth" “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity" “Normalize Indian hate" -- Top Musk/DOGE aide; posts discovered by WSJ's @klong.bsky.social Gift link www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

🚨 Today in Politics: Zelensky calls out Tucker Carlson for “working for Putin.” A federal judge slams Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Musk's grip on government deepens—and even Republicans are souring on him. Catch up on it all now.

Grateful for judges like U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour (a Reagan-appointee) who is defending the rule of law and calling out lawlessness in this Trump Administration. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
