Nailed it.

tonight in “things that definitely happened” … can’t wait to see the canada side of this readout

Ok $200 million is the ENTIRE budget for USAID assistance to Bangladesh, a country hosting a huge share of refugees from Burma, dealing w climate disasters and going through a critical democratic transition this year

FEWS NET, the U.S. early warning system for famine, shut down after the foreign aid freeze. What are the consequences? And why does the U.S. has a famine early warning system in the first place?

WE HAVE RESOURCES for our people affected by the mass #USAID lockout and you can reach out if you have something to offer (legal support, housing, volunteer time) or something you need! www.usaidstopwork.com

Don't lose this in all the noise. Trump abandoned Americans in hostile areas for no other reason than doing their jobs. Now they have 30 days to move countries and find new homes, jobs, schools. Go to @altusaid.bsky.social and read the stories. Then call your reps. This betrayal cannot be tolerated

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

Three cheers for this 5-page letter from ~92 Congressional Dems demanding answers about IES & ed research ht: @aeraedresearch.bsky.social

DOGE claims it "saved US $50B" Not sure if that's a one time or annual savings It's roughly $2.75 a week per American Not even enough for a small Starbucks latte 🤦🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, National Parks & museums have closed; VA & FAA employees have been fired; and people are dying overseas

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

You stay classy, San Diego.

Q: How evil do you have to be to cut a Dolly book program? A: Pretty f*cking evil. Solution: Dolly for Prez! Dolly Parton Calls Out Indiana Gov Over Plan to Dump Her Imagination Library www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton... cc @drjengunter.bsky.social

a very confused Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims by definition come from insane asylums

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

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Have you noticed the press is not calling this the Trump-Vance administration? Don’t let Vance escape your attention, even though he isn’t making headlines—he’s still dangerous.

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

"Russian troops out! solidarity with Ukraine" (📷@alex_kokchar) #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #UKprotests #StandWithUkraine

Looking like a dork aside, hurting grandma, the economy, and the military without much thought is definitely peak MAGA.

The week in review:

Where are the Democrats but also Where are the churches Where are the celebrities Where are the NGOs Where are the Universities Where are professional groups like AMA Where are the athletes Where are the unions What people/groups do and don’t do for next month determines our collective future

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

There will be no Fat Bear contest this year at Katmai National Park. No live feed from Brooks Falls either. Thanks to the Fanta Fascist. #TrumpFail

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

This. Is. Insane.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY: Make more than two million employees, whose salaries are paid by tax payers, take time out of their day to write an essay about their job description. www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/p...

His poll numbers are TANKING.

Not all heroes wear capes 🤣🔥

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

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

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.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.
