If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

Canada represents everything the United States will never be, and the United States represents everything Canada will never become.

I missed where, as a society, we decided this terrible word is acceptable?

The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

'Horrible abuses': Former FBI agent sounds the alarm on Kash Patel: When President Donald Trump nominated Christopher Wray for FBI director in July 2017 after firing James Comey from that position, Wray enjoyed strong bipartisan support and was confirmed in a 92-5 vote. Only a handful of Democrats…

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

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.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Reminder: Tesla protests are ongoing - check here for protests today Teslatakedown.com

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

“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.

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

#Florida insurance companies steered money to investors while claiming losses, says study never given to lawmakers. www.tampabay.com/news/florida... via @tampabaytimes.bsky.social

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

What? Impossible. Dictatorships aren't bastions of freedom?

Listen to Trump. Does this sound like someone who champions state's rights? Sounds more like a mafia boss talking to his capos. Michael Cohen told us this is how he talks --- Also... "State's Rights" is MAGA propaganda that they really don't support until they do... but they don't

Tennessee just passed a law that allows criminal charges vs local officials who vote for a sanctuary policy. Florida just passed a law empowering DeSantis to remove elected local officials who don't obey ICE. And: DOJ is threatening prosecution against a NY sheriff who didn't comply with ICE.

Trump’s new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff once told the MAGA leader, 'I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.'

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

Infant mortality rates in the US have increased by 7% following the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

Universal health care is a cornerstone of every other developed country, but in the US, coverage is fragmented among those with private insurance, government programs and a sizable uninsured population. In the US large swaths of the population are being sentenced to death by lack of coverage. 🧵
