I'll back Ukraine in talks with Trump, Starmer says www.bbc.com/news/article...

As someone who just moved her elderly mother in, this is both terrifying and deeply validating of my decision to take her in when I did. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

Who me? No I’m not following you… 😂 #cats

Wait for it... 😂 🔊🔊 📽️theflooftales #cats

I can't believe the FBI targeted all those conservatives just for committing all those crimes

This is resistance.

Well friends, today is going to be hard. If you feel a squeeze on your hand, please squeeze back.

200 million dollars of waste.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

I watched Gladiator 2 and they had TWO co-Caesars and that hit home.

Communities across Syria are unanimous that the country must now unite. In their eyes, the SDF’s “autonomous administration” and its armed forces in northeast Syria must now dissolve and fully integrate under the Syrian state, Charles Lister writes.

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

A man who served 4 years and became a wife beating alcoholic is firing a man who served 41 years and is a decorated combat veteran. C.Q. Brown earned his place as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth: you can hate on C.Q Brown but he'll never measure up to the man he is, you trash lizard!

Don't hold back now.

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

"Tesla said it was recalling 376,000 of its electric vehicles in the U.S., due to a failure of the power steering assist feature that could make the vehicles harder to steer, particularly at low speeds, raising the risk of a crash. Tesla shares fell 3%."

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Ella Baker AKA Fundi (Swahili for teacher) founded the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to organize young sit-in leaders who weren’t prominent at the time for direct action & voter registration. They coordinated the Freedom Rides of 1961 with CORE (Congress of Racial Equality).

Feb. 28, buy only from small, independent businesses, not massive companies, especially avoiding Amazon, Walmart & Best Buy. Raise awareness of the enormous power of our collective action & set the stage for bigger future actions. #WeHaveThePower

Get ‘em!

“Maga radio host and Fox personality Mark Levin issued a scathing takedown of Republican President Donald Trump by exposing his lies about Ukraine and its President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.” www.comicsands.com/levin-trump-...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

One of the most terrifying, brilliantly written, balanced and relevant books I have ever read. I’ve always thought Rees was an exceptional historian, this reaffirms that view.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Courage No bone spurs!

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

Given that Trump was democratically elected, I keep trying to sift through the chaff to determine the exact point at which recourse to the law evaporates and tyranny occurs. It would be helpful to know for a number of reasons, but chiefly because we don't want to overreact OR underreact. 🧵

🚨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!

Youngsters everywhere 🙂:

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.
