Amen🙏

So much for “owning the libs.” We all knew it would blow up like this and they should have too because Trump TOLD THEM he would. Looking for my tiniest violin. www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

Remember when the Trump Administration said they were not trying to fire air traffic controllers? They were lying.

This!

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

Strong @uaw.org presence at #standupforscience2025. UAW represents NIH workers (and also @motherjones.com / @revealnews.org workers like me)

At least the memes from this era will be killer.

Jesus Christ people! Demand more from your politicians! We need to hear more of this.

I just love the way @meiselasb.bsky.social describes #FFELON in this this week's Friday message: "A frail and decrepit human, sitting in the epicenter of power but oozing grievance and fear, coated in orange makeup." substack.com/home/post/p-...

As usual he’s blaming Biden. It’s never his fault, ever.

Rather than use life-saving vaccines, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is encouraging parents to throw “measles parties” for children to infect them amid deadly outbreaks.

The party of bottomless hate.

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a high-functioning, universal, and exceptionally efficient part of the American social safety net. Zoom out and you’ll see the biggest Ponzi scheme of them all — the entire Trump 2 regime. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-biggest-ponzi-scheme-of-all

“Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies. They are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security and the entire free world. All while cynically waving the American flag.” ~Reagan 11.6.88

For those who are confused, this is what tyranny looks like.

It's a bit too on-the-nose that the 2025 Blockchain Forum will be held in Moscow with several featured speakers tied to Trump's crypto deals - including TRON founder Justin Sun who invested $75 million in Trump-backed World Liberty Financial and WLF advisor Sandy Peng bitcoinist.com/crypto-scene...

This needs to be repeated again and again.

“That’s how he conducts himself.” CNN’s John King says “it’s not fair” to hold Trump to what he says because “the President exaggerates a lot”. I remember a time when journalists did hold presidents to what they said.

Elon Musk’s Starlink could receive up to $20 billion in government funding if the Commerce Department goes ahead with plans to rip up the rule book on rural broadband contracts.

“I spent my whole career as a lawyer and I’ve always believed that accountability is essential to democracy. That when people violate community standards, violate laws—laws like you can’t interfere with an official proceeding, you can’t assault police officers—that there are consequences.”

Trump is reportedly charging up to $5 million for a one-on-one meeting at Mar-a-Lago—the same price as the 'gold card' investment required to buy U.S. citizenship.

NEW: In an email obtained by The Bulwark, the acting Social Security administrator made clear they're going to outsource-privatize operations. The expectation is it will be the call centers that seniors depend on. w/ @cheetah.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-is-co...

in one corner, DOGE dudes tasked with slashing federal agencies are making six-figure taxpayer salaries. in the other: elon musk’s $1 spending limits are causing major disruptions to research and resources across federal agencies.

An Oxford researcher found a rare, handwritten variation of one of Shakespeare’s most famous love poems. About 400 years ago, its meaning might have been very different.

The Gilded Age didn’t end well for American workers—and neither will Trump’s billionaire takeover. Musk and his allies are amassing power, hoarding government contracts, and dismantling worker protections. The economy is being rigged for the ultra-rich again. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Friends. We’re headed to the mall to report for you about the boycott’s effect. Stay tuned. In case you’re not local, Tyson’s Mall is a huge popular shopping center. 🤞

Hi, former White House intern, DNC communications staffer, and re-election team partner here: One does not ‘slip’ into the Oval Office. Does not. Period, ever. That’s not a thing.

I guess this administration is bringing back rapists as long as they’re not Mexican. Wonder what cabinet job these criminals will get? Betcha the uniforms have brown shirts. #tatebrothers #crime #trafficking

I get it but still using Friday as a day of solidarity. Will stick to it as much as possible after too. #boycott

Wild. Bond villain stuff. Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to describe this. The national security concerns here are off the charts. www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...
