If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

The purge of senior officers who have served with distinction on the battlefield and off should send a shiver down the spine of any American who cares about an apolitical military.

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to the work they left behind.

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

Medicaid supports over 80 million Americans— 1 in 4 of us—keeping us healthy. Republicans are pushing to cut it. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Senate Republicans have blocked an amendment proposed by Democrats that would prevent DOGE staffers from abusing Americans’ private data.

Senate Republicans have blocked an amendment proposed by Democrats that would have prevented any tax cuts for billionaires if a single dollar of Medicaid is cut.

The Republican Party is led by people who think nazi salutes are a fun way to troll their opponents as they try to dismantle democracy, inflict suffering on minorities and the vulnerable, and enrich themselves.

"It’s hard to say which is worse, Trump’s moral depravity or his stupidity, but both have been on vivid display in the past ten days vis-à-vis Ukraine." @monacharen.bsky.social calls this the top depredation of many. I agree, despite tough competition for No. 1. www.thebulwark.com/p/america-jo...

The current co-president's alliance with Russia will have consequences for the entire world. Forever standing with Ukraine. 💙💛

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Unelected bureaucrats taunting Congressional Republicans - nice. 😑 I live in a swing district in the swingiest of states. There is zero reason for me to vote for congressmen who think it's their job to simply be a rubber stamp for the administration.

DOGE = unelected bureaucrats. The literal definition.

Congressional Republicans have started to raise concerns over Musk/Trump's cuts to jobs & funding. But will they back their words up with VOTES? Only 3 House Republicans need to join Democrats in fighting against these illegal cuts & invasions of your privacy. Just 3. www.axios.com/2025/02/19/d...

The resurgence of MapQuest - GenX for the win! ✌️

Scoop: 40 news orgs have signed on to a letter circulated by the WHCA supporting the AP and denouncing Trump's move to block them from official events. The WHCA has gone through great pains to keep the letter from leaking, but I obtained a copy. Read it in Status: www.status.news/p/associated...

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he won’t touch Medicaid to endorsing the House GOP's budget with $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Trump and Republicans will truly do anything to fund tax cuts for their wealthy billionaire donors.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Ignorance is not a badge of virtue or honor.

By all means, slap some duct tape on it & get it in the sky.

My hometown has not 1 but 2 Ukrainian-American churches. Four of my 8 great-grandparents were Ukrainian immigrants. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Pres. Musk literally holds his breath as he says this, waiting to see if it will fly. The most polite term for this guy in my old neighborhood would be a shyster. A fucking tool is what he is.

This was Marco Rubio 3 years ago. Now he's helping Putin do what he warned about.

The best outcome we can hope for - there's going to have to be a really hard landing. Buckle in and listen to the flight attendants!

Sass from the dictionary is a welcome momentary giggle right now.

Awake yet? Starting to see that the perennial GOP desire to strip healthcare access from millions of Americans can really happen? This is worth a few minutes of your time to read. medicareforall.medium.com/how-we-meet-...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

Just so we all understand that the US economy is now the cash register of Trump, Inc. #TrumpTariffs

President-in-name-only Day

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

‼️

Happy Presidents Day

Here’s a better peace plan for Ukraine. “Russia, you’ve already sustained twice as many casualties as the US did in ww2. Leave Ukraine or suffer four times more, and collapse as a country in the process” Done

There are heroes among us. Stand tall and yell loudly for all to hear.

✊️

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.
