MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social thanks for the follow-back! And thank you for standing up for those who may not have the platform and prominence to defend themselves against cruelty and hate. As I said tonight, you BEEN that guy. Cheers!

Statement from the Musk-appointed head of SSA celebrating the deletion of research grants studying the financial security of the older adults and the disabled. Just one way that the richest man in the world is dictating societal priorities. www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

I’m really upset about @joyannreid.bsky.social. In addition to being just a stellar journalist and truth teller, she is also exceedingly kind. We communicated a bit around my book launch, and she when above and beyond to be helpful. I’m angry and sad. We need her now more than ever @msnbc.com.

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Fantastic.

Very sorry to see @joyannreid.bsky.social’s show go. She is a brilliant and insightful woman who also manages to maintain her sense of humor in tough times. I’m sure the new sched will be great, but she’ll be missed.

Yesterday domestic terrorists attempted to intimidate me and Michael Fanone (imagine that 🙄) Longer video coming soon. Heading back out to go inspire and get in good trouble. 🫶🏽✌🏽

Joy has been one of the few left on the network to call it like it is, and this sucks. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

I snapped this on 3/27/19. Seven days later, the Trump administration canceled my remote work and moved my job 2,300 miles away and I had to move or be fired. Three months later, they investigated my podcast. The rest, as they say, is history.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

What's "going to happen" for which military lawyers will be a "roadblock?"

I math-ed it out, and right now your DOGE dividend is on track to be $4.29. Let me show my work.

"We’re still scrambling to figure out what it all means."

I am proud that my law firm is currently litigation 48 voting and election cases in 18 states.

On FTN, @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social debunks "the argument from Mr. Kennedy, as well as people within his anti-vax movement ... that measles itself isn't a bad illness." "27% of the kids who have been infected in [the current] West Texas outbreak and the New Mexico outbreak have been hospitalized."

I think local news is doing a helluva job covering the doge fallout. Reporters are connecting the dots from DC to main street, going beyond acronyms to explain what government agencies do & giving voice to concerns of regular people. My latest ⤵️ open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Public Notice: “ @aoc.bsky.social is showing members of Congress can provide real help to constituents while enraging Trump’s dunderheaded hench-thugs and making them look so bad even Jonathan Turley is forced to pile on… Schumer & Jeffries should take notes.” open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

WATCH all 4 parts of Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman's award. We need to heed her words. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"

Signs of life! (From a senator who has announced she is not running again.)

Bravo, @marcelias.bsky.social bravo! And bravo to everyone standing up up that vile, authoritarian bully.

I feel like we are living in some surreal cartoon with cartoonish villains springing cartoonish surprises that will detonate the cartoon starship if we don’t pay close attention. www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

I’m sorry. You can all be mad at journalists for this or whatever. And maybe in some cases it’s deserved. But this is a high-risk profession that’s dying. There’s little support for most working journalists who still have jobs. When you blame “the media,” blame executives. Not workers.

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

Elon Musk is not the owner of the US Government and his email to all federal workers is bullshit

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

Trump’s executive order shutting down DEI claims that recruiting diverse applicants “diminishes the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination.” Donald Trump’s war on DEI isn’t about merit.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...
