"Free speech is back" says the president who this week posted on social media that he would be banning and criminalizing what he deems "illegal protests" at colleges and universities.

I want someone to jump up and just scream "How about that stock market!"

The US Congress is applauding Trump for withdrawing from the fricking World Health Organization. We live in Idiocracy.

I can't stand the stupid pageantry of this night

Call me a wacky, gonzo journalist, but when the president does something that isn’t legal, the headline should note that the president did something that isn’t legal.

Super-shocked. The ambush was a pretext to illegally impound Ukraine aid.

Breaking on MSNBC: The head of the FBI's New York Field Office has been forced out of the bureau — a month after he urged employees to "dig in" after the Trump admin removed senior FBI leaders and requested the names of agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

This traitor runs our national intelligence

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

Democrats should make sure as many people see this as possible: that Trump's #1 adviser wants to destroy Social Security. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Krasnov has paid off.

What America witnessed in the Oval Office today was embarrassing. Trump and Vance spouted Russian talking points at President Zelensky, acting like third-grade schoolyard bullies. Zelensky stood his ground and pushed back on the Russian lies. Both Vance and Trump are Putin's puppets... #VOTE

FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

In their rush to destroy our government The Trump administration fired the workers who keep our nukes safe And-realizing how badly they screwed up Are trying to rehire them But can’t-because they don’t know how to get in touch with the fired workers The incompetence is unprecedented

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

Final thoughts on Super Bowl LIX… Hurts was terrific. The Eagles coaches were excellent. Talent discrepancy was stark on both sides of the ball. But most importantly… TRENCH PLAY MATTERS.

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

👇🏽🤷🏻

DOJ disbanding Task Force KleptoCapture, Kleptocracy Team, and the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery plays into hands of Putin and corrupt foreign oligarchs and criminals. This is what corruption looks like.

A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody. - Thomas Paine

And there it is: Doors are open for kleptocracy in America

I’ll never understand how every right-wing Southerner and rural American thinks this guy is like them. He doesn’t know sports, he’s never been hunting or fishing, he doesn’t like country music, he doesn’t like trucks, he doesn’t drink beer, he’s not a Christian and knows nothing about it, etc.

The “buyouts” promising you paychecks thru September — when the government is only funded to March. 🤭

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

Remember this doozy? "In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law." -- Donald Trump August 18, 2016 (Charlotte NC rally)

Really is a must watch if you have any doubt that the USA is on the brink of disaster. It is and it's unfolding before our eyes. bsky.app/profile/ther...

Michael Steele lays it out so everyone can understand what’s happening.

Total USAID annual spending to provide food, medicine, shelter and other services to impoverished countries around the world: $38 billion Total increase in Elon Musk's personal net worth since the November election: $156 billion

This is so good.

I wrote about the biggest paradox of 21st century governance: that the democratization of information production is killing democracy. Trump’s America is the canary in the coal mine for how badly things can break when voters inhabit different realities from a steady diet of informational sludge.

Bernie Sanders: "We are living in an unprecedented moment in American history. We are looking at a rapid growth of oligarchy. We are looking at a rapid growth of authoritarianism. And I fear we're looking at a rapid growth of kleptocracy as well."

Just saw Mark Warner and Chuck Schumer debut a talking point about the “Donald Trump Super Bowl” on the local news, to make a point about expensive avocados, and I cannot imagine Democratic leaders more profoundly unfit for the moment

The FBI is full of tough minded, hard charging, patriotic people—mostly Republicans—who have devoted years of their lives serving the country and placing mission over money. Many there now feel unfairly targeted by political operatives for doing things they were assigned to do. They are furious.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

Clowns crash the economy, Trump said it himself.
