This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

Elonā€™s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

WSJ: ā€œDOGE touts $55 billion in cuts - WSJ counts $2 billion if spending levels remain constant, and only 2% were DEI-relatedā€¦ majority of cuts were research, including Alzheimerā€™s & traumatic brain injury and educationā€¦ā€ www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

TRUMP JUST FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD STOP HIM FROM USING THE MILITARY FOR A COUP. This is how dictators seize power. The last time someone purged the military like this, they called themselves fĆ¼hrer. Pay attention before itā€™s too late ā€¼ļø

ā€œIn some ways thatā€™s even more chilling than firing the four stars,ā€ Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. ā€œItā€™s what you do when youā€™re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.ā€ By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Iā€™ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. Itā€™s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

"Unfortunately, rather than be shocked by each time Trump or one of his closest allies utter something openly authoritarian, we need to take a step back and realize that the Republican Party has become an authoritarian political party."

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Per Trevor Reed: ā€œUkraine needs to: 1. Ignore the US completely and refuse all US/Russia negotiations 2. Push for Europe to release frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine 3. Make a deal with Europe for continued support 4. Get European troops on the Belarusian border to free up their forcesā€

Elon Musk is cratering in polls: WaPo: Only 34% approve of Musk's role, 63% worry about his data access CNN: 54% say it's bad Musk was given a big role Majorities disapprove of Trump in CNN, WaPo, Gallup. On the pod, @juliaazari.bsky.social is great on all this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename ā€œKrasnov.ā€ Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was ā€œrecruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.ā€

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Donā€™t buy stuff on February 28. Moneyā€™s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Amen to that.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Itā€™s been nothing short of a disaster.

Angelo Carusone the President of Media Matters shares on my show their new report that found Fox News has featured Trump admin officials on air 124 times in first 30 days--that's 4 times a day. Fox News is the US version of pro-Kremlin media that amplifies Putin's propaganda

I never thought freedom for Ukraine could be extinguished at the hands of this generation of Republicans. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... @msnbc.com

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

Jeffries: Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most unpopular figures connected to the Trump Administration. Trumpā€™s poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it hasnā€™t even been a month. The real question is: What is the corrupt bargain that has been struck between Trump and Elon Musk?

šŸšØBREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. Thereā€™s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: Iā€™m a diabetic and Iā€™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 $80ā€¦

the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office

U.S. stocks took a massive nosedive after reports showed worries about how Donald Trumpā€™s policies will likely affect the economy

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

Todayā€™s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Theyā€™re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

I cannot think of anything more profoundly un-American than a president declaring himself a ā€œkingā€

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into actionā€”as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

When FAA employees are telling us itā€™s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.
