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.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ? This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked. Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues. @bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

THIS IS PERFECT.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Tesla sales: Down 41% in Germany for 2024; a 59% drop in January 2025. France: down 63%. Sweden: down 44%. Norway: down 38%. Netherlands: down 42%

Here’s what we did today

So many people I spoke to while phone in Georgia, told me they didn't like Trump's morals but he will be good for the economy... www.wsbtv.com/news/local/c...

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Don’t mess with @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social

So far, I’m giving my hard earned money to subscribe to media that is actually fighting back. Hard. Only $10 for Wired right now! Also, support Rolling Stone, The Guardian, ProPublica. Plus a lot of independent media like Marc Elias Democracy Docket, MeidasTouch and many more we know.

Always blue.

After all that Marko Elez was the first taker on the resignation program.

And we have no adults in the room to manage this.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

This is also a valuable resource for sky users theblue.report

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

Look at how blatantly this advertisement mailer for predatory Medicare Advantage plans tries to look like a legitimate government form to trick the elderly. the year is written just like it is on tax forms.

Trump is weak. He is desperately trying to appear powerful, but in reality, he has no ability to pass real legislation. He won by a tiny lead and has smallest majority in Congress since we've had 50 states. It's going to catch up to him. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Senate is about to give a prestigious job to RFK Jr, a man whose anti-vaxx group had to pay nearly $1 million to women who accused him of sexual misconduct. There are other instances too. Apparently, it is too much to ask that we don't reward men who abuse women. www.mediaite.com/politics/exc...

Just saying.

Vaccines do not cause autism. Full stop. You will never be wrong standing up for what is right and what is true.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully. Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸
