Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

True.

There have been many signs of gross incompetence in the Musk-Trump sledgehammer approach. Now this: "Multiple current and former employees described the situation as 'a national security crisis.'"

It has never ever been like this. It's completely abominable.

The whole point was to swear in Tulsi Gabbard, but Trump totally forgot and just walked away without even acknowledging her. What a perfect metaphor for how the intelligence community will treat her and The US.

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

Very important

Removes much that deals with foreign disinformation. And other important topics. This is deliberate state self-destruction under the pretext of removing DEI.

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

1. Yesterday, the Trump admin released a contract laying out more details of the "deferred resignation" offer they are using to encourage federal employees to resign. The deal is MUCH WORSE than it seemed Anyone who signs this contract agrees to resign and gets NOTHING guaranteed in return

CBS NEWS: “.. the water released from dams at Lake Kaweah and Lake Success is rushing into a dry lakebed in the Central Valley, where experts say it can't flow to Southern California and will likely go to waste.” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

Feels like America has been played. The tariffs were a distraction as trump has been dismantling the government including the FBI. Feels like a coup in broad daylight. 😳😳😵‍💫

You know, it just may be—I know it’s hard to believe, but please, hear me out—that our felonious president and premier digital rapist may be an gullible, easily manipulated dumbass.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

NEW: WIRED has identified six young men, all between the ages of 19-24, who have negligible experience but are now playing critical roles in Elon Musk's takeover of the U.S. government. From @telliotter.bsky.social @zoeschiffer.bsky.social @timmarchman.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Department of Transportation has issued a memo ordering programs supported by the agency to prioritize funding projects for communities with “marriage and birth rates higher than the national average.” www.huffpost.com/entry/dot-me...

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

NEW: US government websites are disappearing in real time, including sites for the US Agency for International Development, foreign assistance, neglected diseases, and children in adversity. We analyzed more than 1000 .gov websites to track what's been taken down—and what's next. wrd.cm/4aFMs5A

This is a national emergency:

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

I know many are fed up with the NYT, but this piece on Kash Patel is well worth a read covering his prior statements about various FBI investigations. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

NEW—Trump WH has blocked all CDC science reports (eg MMWR) & suspended all CDC / FDA / NIH external communications of all HHS agencies until further notice... including all FDA & CDC Health Alert warnings & all social media. Public health be damned. Gift 🎁 link: wapo.st/4aqfN44

🛑JUST CANCELLED—Trump HHS has just cancelled key meetings of the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB) & CDC’s Environmental Public Health Threats meeting—➡️all because of Trump WH’s new blackout of all HHS external comms. My god.

Yikes. Sen. Jack Reed, the top Dem on the Senate Armed Services Committee, spells out all the details of the sworn affidavit recounting Pete Hegseth's specific incidents of alcohol abuse, abusive behavior toward his second wife + offensive public misconduct.

Refugees denied entry: Refugees who were slated to travel to the United States after a years-long and often cumbersome process have had their flights canceled, according to a State Department memo to resettlement partners Approximately 10,000 refugees had travel booked that is now canceled

Is this what it feels like to be a rogue nation?? Damn. 🥺
