"The press and all people in the United States have the right to choose their own words and not be retaliated against by the government," the AP said in its lawsuit. https://buff.ly/436pt1S

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Trump on Ukraine: "I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up and I'm gonna try and get the war settled and I'm try and get all that death ended. We're asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get. But we feel so stupid. It affects Europe. It doesn't really affect us"

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Here is the Email address for PBS NewsHour in the event you’d like to share your thoughts about them giving a 12 minute interview to a guy (Michael Knowles / The Daily Wire) who has called for the eradication of trans people.

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

The real “Gulf of America” is between the people who believe every word Musk & Trump are saying and the people who know how incredibly full of shit they are.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

This is just pure unadulterated insanity. None should respond to this nonsense.

America First was one scam among many in Trump-Musk world.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

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...

Political interference in military leadership—especially dismissing generals and admirals based on ideological loyalty rather than competence—has repeatedly led to disastrous consequences. We are not exempt. NEW from @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/dont-purge...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

There’s no evidence that Dan Caine will not be an effective chairman of the joint chiefs relative to his peers, but it is certainly saying something to the services that we are replacing a highly qualified black man with a white man who literally lacks the command qualifications for the job.

TFW you realize #MNUFC plays for real in just a few hours

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

I fear that this is just a prelude to further purges, the installation of yes men (pun intended), and the introduction of loyalty oaths. These are the steps that destroy professionalism and make the use of violence to restore "domestic order" thinkable --- and more likely.

This is just climate denial. The climate denial Naomi Seibt expresses here is a core part of the AfD’s policies, which Musk amplifies. #climatechange

Alarm as bird flu now ‘endemic in cows’ while Trump cuts staff and funding

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.

He wants Elon to hurt more people, even as his poll numbers are down not up: www.instagram.com/reel/DGTS6V4... There’s a book about leaders counting on the truth not reaching their supporters. It’s called ‘1984’ — forget “Truth Social”, it’s “Ministry of Truth Social”

Worst. Episode. EVER.

200 million dollars of waste.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

No defender in the history of the University of Wisconsin's women's hockey program has ever scored more points in a single season than Caroline Harvey, who recorded her 50th and 51st points of the year to break an 18 year old record thehockeynews.com/womens/carol... #NCAAHockey

AP sues Trump White House, alleging ban on its journalists at major events amounts to unconstitutional retaliation by the federal government for free speech. White House spox: AP's leaders have "rotted... peanut-sized brains" My updated story for NPR: www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

Yep

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

I've often insisted that we need to keep our eyes on Trump's actions more than his words (because so many of the words are bluster & lies). Now we have a genuinely dangerous action: a purge at the Pentagon, notably a purge of the top figures who can decide if Trump's commands are unconstitutional.

“We have an obligation to resist kings, we have an obligation to resist oligarchs.”

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

Then why aren't they drone striking Elon? He's the biggest terrorist of them all who will be directly responsible for the deaths of millions by destroying USAID.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

The Tigers win their third straight game! 🐯 #NCHChockey // #CCTigers
