Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

The look on Zelenskyy’s face when Trump says “they respect me” is *chef’s kiss*🤌

Zelensky is the guy that maga pretend Trump is

You first.

Call it what it is. A hostile takeover by bullies and billionaires. youtu.be/bamSK_gEdUA?...

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Zelensky cares more about Ukraine and Ukrainians, present and future, than about himself or what people say about him. This makes him incomprehensible to people like Trump and Musk, who care only about their personal power and image. He is a living rebuke and it’s one reason they despise him.

This is how it’s done.

The origin of the obsession matters. From Giuliani to Musk, the Trump circle is obsessed with slandering and attacking Ukraine. Why? And instead of making a real case for abandoning it to Russia, it’s just one bullshit Kremlin propaganda tale after another.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

at some point he is going to personally smash something important to every single person in this country and it depends whether or not they can bring themselves to accept that he’s done it there is nothing here but an endless, rapacious desire to destroy

If the justice system is gutted, and replaced by a regime where cronyism makes adherence to laws optional, who will want to hire skilled lawyers trained to counsel clients on complying with the law? That's a question lawyers thinking about joining Trump's attack on the rule of law should be asking.

Layoff notifications have started. And for those motherfuckers saying this is “like private industry,” sorry, but NO. The dedication, the amount of personal sacrifice, the hazardous duty. The things we’ve seen. I have a tattoo on my right arm. Cherry blossoms. One for each colleague who’s died.

Everyone thinks the other people are the other people.

Asking Boeing to “go faster” doesn’t sound prudent

“There are two things I’ve got a right to, and these are Death, or Liberty- one or the other I mean to have. No one will take me alive; I shall fight for my liberty, and when the time has come for me to go, the Lord will let them kill me.” -Harriet Tubman 💔🕯️🕊️

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Goebbels is a really good analogue for Vance actually. A not unintelligent man with artistic inclinations who chose to ritually sacrifice his intellect & independence and become a crawling sycophant in order to accumulate undeserved power, pamper his pathetic grudges, & indulge his raging misogyny.

in addition to being a contemptible liar and hollow opportunist, jd vance is also just pathetic. only a guy who has fried his brain on social media would even think to say something like this

This is nearly as stupid as bankrupting a casino…

As long as no one wears a khaki suite, this all seems reasonable

Fuck @axios.com

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. If we fire them all, and save all that money, in 17.7 months we will have enough cash to pay Tesla $400,000,000 for those uninsurable cyber trucks. Fair trade.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. Every month of zero government workers will save us $22,580,000. Every month of the tax cuts cost us $37,500,000. So, a federal government with zero civilian workers can’t even fund the tax cuts.

Just paid my taxes via X, the everything app, but it said my payment went to something called $GOVCOIN. I emailed the IRS for help but they replied with just a poop emoji

Powell’s comment just now — “If you fast forward 10 or 15 years, they're going to be regions of the country where you can't get a mortgage ..” — echoes that recent NYT piece on insurance non-renewal rates.

@aoc.bsky.social We’d like your help organizing a March on Washington to ensure protester safety and secure permits. We’re aiming for a Saturday at least two weeks out to allow for travel planning.

A MINOR

saw a moment of tom brady talking and involuntarily yelled ha ha your wife left you because you're a loser and a terrible dad and you like trump you dumb skeletor headed piece of shit

New Fox chyron is excellent. Team names: huge. Score: huge. Logos: none. Colors say enough. Needless chrome: none. Timeouts remaining: prominent but not distracting. Down and yards to go indicator: conveys which team has the ball. Typography: classic, legible, bold, timeless. Outstanding design.

It’s about the western part of Virginia

It wasn’t really a Super Bowl, but the #ABA champion Kentucky Colonels did play the #NBA champion #Warriors in a preseason matchup in #Louisville on 10/8/75, with the Colonels winning 93-90. HOFer Hubie Brown (broadcasting his last game today) called the ‘75 Colonels the best team he ever coached.

Lamar knows how to hate.

Happy Black History Month. ✊🏾

Man, this is what Mahomes would’ve looked like his whole career if Tommy Tuberville actually coached him.

Your periodic reminder that no tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself.

I understand canceling subscriptions to the NY Times but I'm past that, at this point I think the NY Times should have to pay me every time I'm forced to even see their headlines.

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.
