And, to my great shame, more than the Democratic Party has of late, too. Every elected dem at every level of government should be out in the streets with the American people.

I still haven’t found adjectives harsh enough to describe this…abomination. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A major Norwegian fuel company is refusing to provide fuel to U.S. warships after the “shitshow” in the White House yesterday over Ukraine. This is the way. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...

Appeal pending.

In solidarity, I am not purchasing anything today. Know what else I’m not buying? All of this fucking bullshit. #standwithukraine

I may have some personal bones to pick with Melvin Carter, but I’ll be damned if anyone comes for my city. It’s also worth repeating what @keithellison.bsky.social said: We are not afraid of Donald Trump. There are more of us than there are of him and his pathological bootlickers.

Once upon a time I was a WaPo subscriber. Not anymore, and never again - not unless the paper returns to independent journalism. Which is why I just subscribed to @theatlantic.com and continue to subscribe to the @nytimes.com (despite some questionable editorial choices over the last few years).

Much as I love me some @maddow.msnbc.com, this is patently the wrong direction for any network to be going - let alone the self-proclaimed progressive bastion of @msnbc.com. SHAME ON REBECCA KUTLER. SHAME ON @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social.

Someone please rid us of this authoritarian lunatic. Soon.

🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements. A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

The Speaker has just called all members BACK to the floor for a vote. I foresee a long night.

@altnps.bsky.social @altcdc.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social @altusaid.bsky.social @altlofc.bsky.social Food for thought: Y’all ever think about forming a shadow government? We could use one. Keep recruiting, keep informing, and keep fighting. We outnumber them, and we’ve got your back.

Manu Raju @cnn.com reporting that Speaker Johnson is actually facing difficulty with the right flank of his party who want DEEPER cuts to the vital services millions of Americans rely on every day.

Merz’s full statement is on the right. I really don’t want our European allies to abandon us, but I don’t blame them for wanting to.

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

@thedailyshow.com can we PLEASE make this a recurring weekly segment on TDS? America needs to know what DJT is up to as president. After all, we’re his supervisors. Think geriatric golfing exposé mixed with 1930s fascism and just a touch of spray tan.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Search “Operation Whirlwind 2025” and “Operation Whirlwind 1956” and see what you find. I promise you won’t like it. www.reuters.com/world/us/was...

So instead of an actual meritocracy - that doesn’t care about the color of your skin or what’s in your pants - we’re championing the White Cisgender Heteronormative Male Agenda? Show me the last non-old white man who fucked over this country. I’ll wait. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

What she said.

The SAVE Act is an attempt to undermine the source of American democratic legitimacy: the will of the people. They know that nonwhite, poor, less educated, and less traditionally successful people tend to vote against conservatives. Guess who’s also less likely to have official documents?

Y’all, this is my JAM. I am a fierce advocate for voters’ rights & work hard to expand access to the ballot. As with every other issue, the administration has lied, exaggerated, and created bogeymen out of problems that simply don’t exist to justify their attempts to stifle legitimate opposition.

He assumes everyone not prostrating themselves in front of him is lying or disloyal because he is incapable of thinking people do not think like he does. He cannot comprehend genuine loyalty, altruism, empathy, or selflessness in others because he himself cannot feel them.

This is absolutely sick-to-your-stomach news. MAGA made it ok for people to unleash the worst version of themselves - and monsters beget monsters. She was << 11 >>.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

As someone whose spouse just returned from 2.5 weeks of training in CA, I have photo evidence and personal accounts of how truly awful military food can be. Forget MREs, these are service-members on base. The literal least the DOD can do is give them three squares a day with their own money.

Great. As if I wasn’t having enough trouble sleeping before I read this.

Blessed be the fruit…

As we used to say in law school… BOOM. Lawyered. #notransbans

Belly-up is never a good thing, but early reporting suggests no fatalities. Whatever happened, it could have been much worse. Stay tuned.

Time to start demanding a #shadowgovernment. This won’t be stopped if we aren’t in the room.

BREAKING Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson just issued an order preventing the Trump administration from: 1. Deleting CFPB data 2. Firing CFPB employees 3. Transferring money from CFPB's reserve fund Right after the order was issued, nearly all CFPB employees were placed on administrative leave

🚨BREAKING: VA slashes 1000 jobs of disabled veterans, military spouses & medical researchers in massive cuts. $98M in claimed "savings" = longer wait times & reduced care for veterans. This isn't reform - it's a reckless abandonment of those who served.

Today’s DOJ body count now stands at +6. I’m not saying it’s final because we have a few hours to go until midnight.

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ. So I’m no expert. But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.
