If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

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.

WTF?!?

I posted this longer version on X #Emails2DOGE cc: [email protected]

The everyday Americans who voted for Trump because they thought he’d lower the price of eggs are paying $10 for eggs now. Trump decided to prioritize culture war issues instead of delivering on campaign promises, and his approval rating is reflecting that.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Schools should be safe for every student, regardless of their immigration status. Demand that your local school board takes a stand: indivisi.org/safe-schools

National NTEU has put out an email to all members to not respond to the 5 bullet points email. They will have further guidance shortly.

All of us who believe in the resistance need to send multiple reply emails to [email protected] on Monday. Set a reminder and then get to work.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us — Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens — must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

Happy caturday, friends. Try not to doom scroll today, take a walk or a nap and eat some good snacks. We need to be well rested and ready for the fight ahead.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

The Trump admin is planning to strip healthcare away from millions of Americans by proposing new criteria for who can and can't receive Medicaid. Please CALL YOUR SENATORS/CONGRESSPEOPLE. Tell them they work for US. And we demand they protect our access to healthcare. 5calls.org/issue/protec...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“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.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

Florida's new AG, James Uthmeier, is on Laura Ingraham's show announcing a new culture-warring lawsuit against Target for not being sufficiently transphobic

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Voting matters!!! People in the House and the Senate care more about their constituents than Trump does. Members of Congress vote the way their district ALLOWS them to. "Purple" district republicans should be the biggest goal to flip for dems on 2026. Don't wait until 2026. START NOW!!!

happy friday! just leaving this here...

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Breaking — The Social Security Administration is dissolving its Office of Analytics Review and Oversight effective 2pm today, an agency source tells me. In a meeting leadership claimed it was part of government-wide mission to “align missions better” & said it was the first of many changes to come.

This has always been eugenics. ALWAYS.

Gross and horrible. This man should be in jail.

I’m gonna post this for the 3rd time today because it is the most political and ethically important thing happening right now: Donald Trump is trying to cut Medicaid. Tell people.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
