“[W]hen warfare itself has evolved into a highly diverse, multi-leveled and sophisticated affair, we should be eager to carve out space for expertise and experience of all kinds.”

Good point.

Congressman Jack Bergman’s constituents held a town hall tonight—because their cowardly congressman refused. He’s happy to cash a taxpayer-funded paycheck but too scared to face the people he’s supposed to represent. Pathetic.

We have a winner!

Democrats in Congress—we asked for fight and you come up with childish signs. You all should have walked out in solidarity with Al Green and the American people tonight. This is not the business!

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Family includes everyone! ❤️

⚖️Constitutional crisis — Trump WH is now openly defying a federal court order to fund USAID & other State dept foreign aid. ➡️Will DOJ follow the law & enforce a court order against Trump/Rubio, or will Pam Bondi’s DOJ follow America’s new unconstitutional autocrat?

Just the Secretary of Defense announcing to the world he’s got tax problems. No biggie.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ DSW "We believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion [DEI], and call on our associates, customers, and communities to hold us accountable to showing it every day." The NAACP Black Consumer Advisory encourages consumers to 'buy-in' on companies that back their values.

Run for something!

More of this, please! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

It would help if they had a little backup from the rest of the press…

Incredible news! The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order. The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care. ACLU statement here:

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

😂

Look who is on Bluesky! Let’s give Pete Buttigieg a warm welcome! 💙🦋💙🦋💙 bsky.app/profile/pete...

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

👇🏽🤷🏻

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

Good.

James Madison wrote of the necessity of the separation of powers: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Do better, West Point!!!

What was the awesome word @maddow.msnbc.com used Tuesday evening to describe the current administration as chaotic and disorganized? Loved it, and I forgot to write it down!

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.
