Just listened to AOC on YouTube. She took it upon herself to draft a letter and hand deliver it to the DOL. She met with officials showing their legal obligations to stop doge from taking over the data at 4 p.m. the same afternoon. Doge left empty handed, AOC got a court injuntion to stop doge.

Score: Mills 1, Trump 0. She’s 100% right on the law. Trump’s “We ARE the law” was way, way over the top. No, Mr. President, you are not. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

“Remember, I can do whatever I want to whomever I want.” It sounds like President Trump, to the world. But it was Caligula, to his grandmother. Megalomaniacs end badly. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/o...

He nails it.

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

The tariffs are not just posturing. It's an outright betrayal against a loyal ally like Canada. And Canada doesn't take it lightly. They don't give a shit that the tariffs are "suspended" for now, they don't like the betrayal, and for good reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=33zW...

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

For those at the back…

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

“If these government systems fall down, the consequences for the American people from the food we eat, to the soldiers who come back every week, to the planes we fly will be in danger” Jason Johnson breaks down what everyday people can do to push back against our government.

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Call me crazy but maybe two men who fathered 17 children with 6 different women between them shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values!

Indiscriminate hacking at the federal workforce will be a money loser for the government. Case in point, the work done by DOJ. sentencing.substack.com/p/dont-be-fo...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

They may want Berlin 1933 But we can make it Paris 1789

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Wise man…

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

And who they didn't like

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

FYI…

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Enrique Tarrio, as expected, went right into the next trouble after he had his 20 year-somethin' sentence pardoned by Trump a month ago. He goes back in for battery. Trump released criminals back into society. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrVO...

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Oh, Elon Musk, you treacherous cunt, your secrets you should spew,Your chats with Vlad, your smirks, your laughs, I hope they fucking screw you!With contacts hidden, deals in dark, you've played us for a fool,As Putin plans to shred our land, and you're his fucking tool. suno.com/song/59d5f1f...

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.
