imagine what a weak quisling Rubio is that he cannot even explain to Trump that Russia started the war. Think about that. Utterly spineless.

“This firing occurred despite the fact that the Immigration Court currently has in the neighborhood of 3.5 MILLION pending cases and DOJ is asking Congress for more money to hire more people.”

"nobody even knows where the [national debt] money went and you’re not allowed to ask." Huh? Its all public record at OMB, CBO, & Treasury websites, which I've also used to publish 600 reports, articles, & chart books specifying where all the money went. You can log off Twitter and go look it up!

Today's a great day for Vladimir Putin. He finally has an asset at the highest level of US intelligence, and he’s laughing. Tulsi Gabbard, known in Russia as "Putin's Girlfriend", is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus. America is being weakened by Trump and his administration.

Pope Francis' remarkable rebuke of JD Vance and Trumpism lays bare an essential truth: Trump is overseeing a massive and systematic abandonment of obligation to the global poor, and Vance's theological obfuscation can't make that disappear. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1914...

Now we know what the price of the prisoner release was yesterday. Didn't even take 24 hours for Trump to pay up.

Hegseth got heckled by what appeared to be military family members in Germany. Yelling"DEI!" at him as he arrived at the headquarters. This is unheard of and shows how angry many are with the anti-DEI push that's led to book bannings in DOD schools. I break it down! Subscribe! youtu.be/c7ky05dmQ2g

Removes much that deals with foreign disinformation. And other important topics. This is deliberate state self-destruction under the pretext of removing DEI.

Good for Judge Engelmayer! He rightly saw the legal imperative of immediate relief to preserve and protect the evidence of executive branch abdication to a veritable Muskocracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have arrogated congressional power to themselves, Jonathan Chait writes: “The true urgent cause is to return that power to the legislature before the damage becomes irreversible.”

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

The Democratic Party needs new messaging strategies. We ALL know this. The predatory & patriarchal system of the past is broken. Now is our chance. Going back to the same tired “establishment” folks who failed us in 2024 is not the way forward. I truly hope @kenmartin.bsky.social understands this.

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
