Why did Trump fire CQ Brown? According to advisers, it was because of a four-minute video Brown taped after the George Floyd murder talking about his experiences as a Black pilot in the Air Force, Helene Cooper reports. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

Definitely sounds like an AI phishing expedition.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

We are now the bad guys 😢 #fckmsk #fcktmp #magamafia

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Openly defying court orders; looks like the constitutional crisis has arrived 😢

Incredibly chilling and clear-eyed piece from @frank-bowman.bsky.social spelling out the implications of Trump’s latest executive orders—which, stripped of their muddled legalese, essentially anoint him as a monarch with absolute power. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Extortion; live!

The context makes it clear:“Fight. Fight. Fight.” Nazi salute “Amen”

It looks like that #salute is becoming a trend; there is no shame in giving the #Hitlergruß and #Bannon knows exactly what he is doing. What do you think @sbg1.bsky.social @normornstein.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social? #fcknzs #fcktmp

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

COLLINS: You wrote in fall 2023 that "Putin is to blame like Al-Qaeda was to blame for 9/11." Do you still feel that way or do you share the president's assessment as he says Ukraine is to blame? WALTZ: Well it shouldn't surprise you that I share the president's assessment on all kinds of issues

The Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum says President Trump's dismantling of the U.S. civil service system, and his attacks on judges and his opponents, are part of a playbook on undermining democracy. 🎧 tinyurl.com/3w32xujf

These layoffs may include people who tried to roll out safety guidelines for AI oh and also people who worked w/Musk's AI competitors. Remind me who is keeping and visualizing the master list of Elon's conflicts?

remarkable that the White House cannot just say that Putin is responsible for Putin's war

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

How stupid and arbitrary are Trump's mass firings at federal agencies? A State Dept employee tells me some colleagues are racing to change their job descriptions so phrases like "transnational crime" don't get caught up in DOGE AI bots scanning for words like "trans" to fire people because "DEI."

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jan. 2025--Donald Trump announced $540 billion in pledged investment in AI infrastructure and called on his government to "enhance America's AI leadership." Feb. 2025--Don Jr. and Eric get into the AI data center business. me, for @forbes.com 1/

Flagging New York's coercion law, PEN § 135.60, for @manhattanda.bsky.social. Interpublic Group is based in NYC. This conduct, if accurate, seems to meet the elements.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

Tonight, Senate Republicans are charging ahead with their budget proposal. They’re making clear who matters to them: billionaires and giant corporations.  And who does not: working families.

Despite being completely unqualified for the job, the guy perjured himself during his testimony and promises to politicize the FBI. Way to go Senate #spineless

This is the wrong decision. Hochul should play the same hardball her opposition is #lowroaddems

Exactly right

Between DOGE, the Supreme Court, and this new EO, Trump is dismantling all corporate oversight and turning our regulatory agencies into the legal and policy equivalent of decorative gourds this WILL kill people at scale, but every story I read about it puts you to sleep by the fourth paragraph

An 84% cut. This is going to end very badly.

🙄😕🤦🏼‍♂️😵‍💫
