Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

This truly breaks my 💔 Thank you @joyannreid.bsky.social, I’ll be watching for what’s next. 🙏🏽

This is the way.

Yes. 77M MAGAts voted for this and other horrors. “Burn it all down!” they demanded.

They just lie all the time.

🇨🇦 Canada imposes new sanctions on Russia: 76 individuals and entities linked to Russia’s military-industrial complex, deportation of Ukrainian children, propaganda operations, top officials, and oligarchs close to Putin are now sanctioned.

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Come on y'all, sing along with me. And if you don't know the tune, go to YouTube and look up the 1960s song "Get Together."

How I feel about my country right now

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

"All too often, the other side of the aisle refers to Social Security as an 'entitlement.' That is simply wrong--it's the insurance Americans have paid for to fund retirement, disability, and survivor benefits through a lifetime of work." - John B. Larson larson.house.gov/social-secur....

BREAKING: GOP Senator Susan Collins says she’ll vote AGAINST Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI Director: “Mr. Patel’s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.”

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

Heyyyyy Wisconsin MAGA dairy farmers...how's that USAID cheese contract y'all used to bank on doing? What? The contracts are gone and your dairy farms are going to go under? Thank DOGE!

Y'all know what to do.

To those in red state Kentucky who voted for the orange felon, he has done literally everything but address your several days of dangerous flooding and has actually denied FEMA aid for other red states like Georgia. You chose cruelty and I hope he delivers what you wanted. FAFO.

This is what I was talking about last week.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

They have added things to doge.gov now after getting creamed for posting nothing. There is no way to verify the claims that they are cutting fraud since there is no documentation. They are simply copying tweets.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Just downloaded @mapquest.com bc they have not caved TY @doglovertwo.bsky.social

But plastic straws are back…

Classic Susan Collins. She contacts RFK Jr about her “concerns.” He assures her that after she votes to confirm him, he “will re-examine it.” Hopefully people in Maine will be tired of this old act and wake up next year at the ballot box.

Dear Mr. President, Since you all are renaming stuff, can we please rename eggs to $Trump Crypto so they can drop in price? Thank you!
