Putin has overseen the abduction of 20,000 Ukrainian children. He invaded Ukraine. He bombed hospitals and schools. He is a Dictator. He is backed by Trump.

I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Always remember that Republicans are letting all of this happen. From DEI bans to killing Medicare & Medicaid to deporting anyone that speaks Spanish. Nobody voted to dismantle government & decency! Republicans should never again have power, we know what they do with it & it's not American.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

The job of the American people is to raise our voices, RAISE THE ALARM! Democrats have come out swinging. Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

“Remember, I can do whatever I want to whomever I want.” It sounds like President Trump, to the world. But it was Caligula, to his grandmother. Megalomaniacs end badly. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/o...
