This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

SHAMEFUL 🤬🤬🤬

President's Day rallies

Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window

I know some people are being super cautious and not willing to blame Trump and Musk for the number of airline collisions we've witnessed over the past month. But, I am not as generous as you considering there's a full scale assault on our FAA under his watch. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

💥 “We’re tired of the executive branch putting us at risk! We need our fellow Americans to stand up with us! We need Congress to take action!! It is essential to stand up against Autocracy!” It’s time to unite and make our voices heard! h/t Alejandro Alvarez in DC

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…” This was never about efficiency. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGLXa9r...

Republicans may not have been able to bring down the price of food, but at least they’ve made it more terrifying to fly than it was after 9/11. That’s true leadership.

Modernizing the air traffic control system is one of the government's biggest ongoing IT projects, but sure, have some guys from SpaceX drop by and fix it. Yiiiikes.

Have y'all heard of the Project 2025 Heat Map that outlines how 1/3 of the goals have already been achieved? Check out this site and follow: www.project2025.observer Call your representatives and ask them if they are aware of this site and how much of their plans have been implemented.

#SouthCarolina SHOWED OUT today!! Columbia, Greenville, Myrtle Beach and more! Here's a video of the Columbia crowd (or part of it!) we wrapped around the state house twice! (Pardon my video skills 😅) Post your pics and videos below!

Kash Patel wouldn't be cleared to be AN INTERN at the FBI. We need to keep lighting up the phone lines and filling up their inboxes. Let's go actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Now, this is some gooey, chocolaty trolling! MoonPies for all!

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents. So much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility, all to pass their tax scam.

Republicans just shot down an amendment to their tax scam that  would require the top .05 percent of American households to chip in just a measly 2 cents for every dollar of wealth over 50 million. You can't make this shit up.

If you want to know why Trump is able to rule like an autocrat, compare the Washington Post' coverage of the Saturday Night Massacre with Trump doing exactly the same thing

www.mediaite.com/news/pete-he...

Trump & his people did this. Don't leave them out of the headlines.

Next: a GOP assault on families for billionaire tax cuts: The GOP Tax Scam. Rep Amos is on 🔥. "This is a betrayal. Full stop. This is not some social policy experiment. Real people will suffer. It is a betrayal of our seniors. It's a betrayal of our families. It is a betrayal of the middle class."

When the leader of your party is a convicted felon who was found by a court to be a sexual assaulter, whose company was found guilty of fraud, who incited a violent insurrection, and whose mismanagement of a pandemic caused 10Ks of avoidable deaths, there’s not much that’s going to shame you.

The American Right has made substantial progress on its attitude towards sexuality; it will now embrace and promote men who assault either women OR other men.

@mimirocah1.bsky.social & @jenrodgers.bsky.social re Adams case: "We cannot stress enough how seismic a departure this is from how DOJ should act. On rare occasions, prosecutors must dismiss an indicted case if there is an insurmountable problem with the evidence, or a major change in the law."

Incredibly proud of her and my old office. Integrity and decency still exist in incredibly hard circumstances. I hope every former US Attorney and DOJ official from both parties support her publicly.

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Education Department employees on probation were abruptly dismissed without cause across the department this morning. Staff have been warned that more layoffs are coming.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Oh.

RFK Jr. didn’t “allay the concerns of several key GOP senators over his anti-vaccine activism.” You’ve got it wrong, NBC. The Republicans simply decided to care more about their careers than whether other Americans die.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal is rallying outside VA HQ now, leading Senate Dems in a powerful stand against Musk’s takeover. “Elon Musk… 9 million veterans are watching you give them the middle finger, & we’re not going to stand for it!” 🔥 LFG for our vets 🫡 @blumenthal.senate.gov @votevets.org

#ReidOutBlog: Trump admin’s cuts at NIH are helping fuel RFK Jr.’s worst idea Trump’s pick for HHS secretary has his sights on halting infectious disease research

A man who helped condemn Samoan children to death with medical disinformation about vaccines just got confirmed to lead HHS by a 52-48 vote of the Senate. How many more children will RFK Jr. kill?

Two dozen people have been identified with measles in Texas. Guess what they all have in common? They are all unvaccinated. Today, anti-science anti-vaxx, pro-conspiracy RFK Jr was confirmed as Trump’s Health Secretary.

In RFK jnr, the USA now has a guy in charge of its public healthcare who thinks that the MMR vaccine causes autism and that flouride and chemicals in water cause cancer and turn kids gay and transgender. Good luck, America.

"The fact that RFK Jr. is right about a few things, such as the need to address childhood obesity—remember when the right practically called Michelle Obama a Nazi for her advocacy on this issue?—doesn’t change how overall batshit he is." @cathyyoung63.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-pick...

McConnell completely destroyed his legacy by being weak when it mattered. Taking a worthless stand now just makes him look pitiful.

Too late now. He could have stopped all this, but he was more interested in GOP power than saving this country from a direct assault from within. History will not treat him kindly.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Billionaires shouldn’t be able to use super PACs to get what they want in exchange for campaign donations. Full stop.

Yay, America! The chances of your grandma getting swindle by crooked debt collectors have skyrocketed! The CFPB used to stop these scammers from harassing, threatening, and robbing people blind—but the king of grift just paved the way to “easy street.” 1/2

Nothing says ‘fiscal responsibility’ like burning through nearly $200K an hour so a bunch of Republicans can watch the Super Bowl on the taxpayers’ dime.
