I am free. No 9-5. My homes: a Mtn. Cabin & 1 on wheels: a 1965 Airstream tradewind on the bay, 2 sweet tiny homes. So: I have my ups & downs. 😊

A little substance about what the FBI does & historical context to help you articulate just how dangerous the confirmation of Kash Patel is. joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

A sliver of truth appears in the New York Post. Happy to see it.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

🚨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!

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Important new Times piece which has new details on issue @TPM discussed earlier this week: use of blocking notifications on Federal Register as way of circumventing court order to unfreeze NIH grant funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

This is really something

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

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.

I've been saying this for years, but Rubio is a disgusting traitor. After this, there no longer exists a counterargument. He is not "serious." He is not a "statesman." He is not "the adult in the room." He was installed at State to humiliate himself before dictators & he's off to a great start.

And a good reminder that free people don’t beg. Begging is only necessary here because they have already decided to accept Trumps spree of criminal conduct.

Earlier today, Donald Trump called himself a king. So it’s a good time to repost this. Join me, remind that asswipe that we don’t have kings in America.👇

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

"giving away the store is not diplomacy"

I just listened to Republican senators, supporting Trump‘s lies that Ukraine started the war! This is absolutely sickening. Stupidity all around

“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.” Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. 👇

NEW: The Trump administration has just told a federal judge in a court filing that it will not comply with the court's order to resume funding for USAID and State Department foreign assistance.

Only a handful of the pieces, podcasts, publications in my latest #ScholarSunday thread deal with the current mis-administration. But I can think of no better way to celebrate Not My President's Day, along with protests & much else, than to share great public scholarship. @hcrichardson.bsky.social 🗃️

Summarizing Elon Musk's government takeover thus far in under 60 seconds:

The idea that it's okay for presidents to lie is fairly new. The current president is so far afield from what was shocking at the time from Eisenhower, Nixon, Johnson...yet today it's a collective shrug. Excellent with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jenrubin.bsky.social #PresidentsDay #MustListen

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

VA dismisses more than 1,000 employees. For Veterans like me, and for those who care about them, here's what the VA website says about the dismissals. Just keep in mind . . . We can no longer expect the truth from Government websites. news.va.gov/press-room/v....

NEW: House Judiciary's Jamie Raskin calls on Trump AG Pam Bondi "to put an immediate halt to this illegal and unconscionable intimidation campaign" over the Eric Adams case. "It's time to do your job and stop this outrageous sabotage of justice in the interests of naked political corruption."

"It is a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires... I can't think of a parallel... DOJ, SEC, were investigating Musk companies, that all goes away now, and he makes money at the same time." I was on MSNBC with @joyannreid.bsky.social tonight, talking Elon Musk & corruption.

UPDATE: Judge CHUTKAN has called a 4pm hearing on the lawsuit over Elon Musk's authority to run DOGE.
