CALIFORNIA: Rep. @JayObernolte (R) becomes the latest to hear from the people 🇺🇸 🔥 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGZ0d7B...

OK honest question what is the root of this? Is this just how you think on drugs?

Remarkable stuff in the texts between Musk and St. Clair in the exhibits to her paternity position. He’s really into making babies!

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

A previously unflappable market finally flapped. A fifth straight Friday loss, this one a deeper but still orderly setback, digesting a slow-motion "growth scare" and policy flux. Cyclical, bank and small-cap stocks back to their Election Day gaps, sentiment mixed, froth being skimmed. New column.

"Washington reviewed the Ukrainian proposed resolution and 'demanded to make some changes to make it weaker,' including “pro-Russian” language in the document. Then Washington proposed a new resolution and demanded Kyiv withdraw its version..." www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

More of this, please.

Remember when Trumpland denied softening the 2016 GOP platform position on Russia?

Batman villain Emil Bove is Donald Trump’s hatchet man in the Department of Justice. The great @lizdye.bsky.social unpicks his past and his ruthless knifing of former colleagues. Move over Scarecrow and Riddler. It’s the hour of The Apostate! airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

This is extortion of an ally: “The terms of the new proposal … call for Ukraine to relinquish half of its revenues from natural resources, including minerals, gas and oil, as well as earnings from ports and other infrastructure.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.

Threatening Ukraine is despicable. All of Ukraine allies must stand behind Ukraine and not allow this type of blackmail.

New — 20 House Democrats write to Trump this morning on USPS: “We urge you to immediately withdraw all plans to dismantle one of our nation’s most cherished public institutions and uphold the Postal Service’s independent status as required by law.”

Trump/Vance embrace of Germany's far-right AfD "would be a blunder of historic, and potentially catastrophic, proportions." Jamie Kirchick - www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/o...

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

New, from me @theatlantic.com: *No, the federal government is not too big *It has real human capital needs *Firings are indiscriminate, weakening state capacity *Creating a toxic and politicized workplace is driving away dedicated employees www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate: - Emergency response in natural disasters - Education and healthcare for disabled children - Clean air and water programs - Gang crime investigations - Monitoring of nursing home abuse - Nuclear reactor regulation - Cancer research
