This. Is. Insane.

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

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

This is what Town Hall’s should look like all over the country right now.. Apply continuous, aggressive pressure and make it clear we will not comply, we will not sit by, and if our representatives don’t act, we’ll find people that will and they can hit the bricks! www.youtube.com/live/-CLe_uX...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

The GOP is signaling major cuts to Medicaid are coming. Recent studies have shown cuts to Medicaid have a big consequence that gets typically ignored: crime increases. boltsmag.org/medicaid-cov...

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

Fired federal workers share the crucial jobs no longer being done Six people describe what they were doing to benefit public health, safety and the environment www.sciencenews.org/article/fire...

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Sorry for being a day late with Heather Cox Substack, Letters from an American. I can say it is packed with news, and as always, thank you Heather! February 21, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

In 1994, under pressure from US, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances from United States, Russia, and UK to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. Eventually Russia invaded Ukraine. Imagine if Ukraine had kept its nukes-

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

Defiance is all of us here, defiance is Governor Mills, it is townhall meetings demanding answers, it is demonstrating, making phone calls, writing letters. I know that each of us has the opportunity to make history! We did it in the 60's, we moved a nation! open.substack.com/pub/america/...

Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.

Love to see it!

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

UPDATE: While Musk was at CPAC, flailing around with a chainsaw above his head, Grimes, one of his many baby momma's sent him the emergency message below.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

A Defender from Azov Brigade sustained a severe shrapnel wound to the neck and lost a significant amount of blood. The situation was critical and there was no chance to evacuate him. So doctors had to think on the spot: they sent blood to the Defender via a drone.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Imagine my surprise when Babymama #4 showed up looking for her loot from the Ketamine King.

For those at the back…

This is an eye-opening comment in the @nytimes.com. Terrifying. "All of this flagrantly stolen data is surely being fed into AI owned and controlled by Musk. AI is empowered by data, and the more valuable and more accurate the data, the more powerful the Artificial Intelligence Intelligence. 1/3

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Alina Habba, who is ostensibly a lawyer, claims on Fox & Friends that Trump "made the law" with his executive orders (executive orders are not laws -- only Congress can make laws)

Professor Eddie S. Glaude: “The irony, he holds a Black History Month Reception as he’s issued all these executive orders around DEI. Touts the importance of Black folk to the history of the country mentioning Tiger Woods, Kobe guess that’s what we’re reduced to, athletics entertainment I suppose.”

Brown had to go - he was serving his country while black.

But, the greatness?

A deep dive into the law the Felon is using to shut everything down. It is always better to understand what the courts are up against in deciding how to rule on the Felon's objectives. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Big Surprise, Enrique Tarrio Gets Arrested Again! After the ex leader of the Proud Boys held a press conference, this waste of space got arrested by Capitol Police. He allegedly slapped a cell phone out of a woman's hand. Oh how proud this lowlife must feel!

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

So, this went viral. I'll never stop being shocked at how hideously angry right-wingers are. Blick, block, block.

A few late entries. Tesla pics also welcome, Scottish golf courses, Panama real estate. Keep em coming folks!

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.
