"We’ve been in this turmoil for weeks now and I think it’s designed to break you down and get you to leave," one former federal employee said.

"Not our war, not our problem." We made it our problem in 1994. Ukraine had the world’s 3rd-largest nuclear arsenal, & we told them: Give it up, & we’ll guarantee your security. They trusted us. Russia started this war, now we are expecting them to pay with their natural resources and ditching them

Wise man…

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

The Senate voted 51-49 to confirm Kash Patel as the next FBI director. Patel, a staunch Trump loyalist, is a known election denier and has made comments about exacting political revenge against his enemies.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

He nails it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Pay attention to Tim Snyder.

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

The Trump-Musk business tycoon regime appears to plan extortion of Ukraine: “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...

Hegseth and Trump are incompetent evil personified. Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman CQ Brown Jr., are military leaders with LONG distinguished careers based on (plot twist) MERIT! 🤡 is driving our country off a cliff as the world watches. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

If people like Noem are this craven only a month in, imagine what they'll be like two or three years from now. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The "he" is James Murdoch. [Gift article] "He tried, futilely, to move the network in a different direction, one in which it would still cater to conservative viewers but remain more accountable to facts." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/m... "More accountable to facts." Never happened. Could it ever?

Now this is something I can get behind. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm... Newsrooms need to agree that "an attack on one is an attack on all." Yes. "What is surprising — and disappointing — is the lack of collective action and response on the part of the press itself," writes Jim Friedlich.

www.npr.org/2025/02/22/g... The homeless in America is staggering It's everywhere It's families It's veterans It's young people 84% CUTS IN STAFFING AT HUD OFFICES that are support offices for HOMELESS PROGRAMS where are they going to go? What ... more Guantanamo bay?

Great job by Ruben (@rubenbolling.bsky.social).

"This is also where elderly people can apply for Medicare, which doesn’t have physical outposts of its own. And it’s where hearings are held — due process provided — for beneficiaries who believe that they have been unfairly kicked off of desperately needed assistance."

This is exciting - look what just arrived (pre-orders help!):

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...

The resistance is all around..

This is me, at every future-of-journalism conference

Russian air strike on Kostiantynivka, Donetsk oblast this morning left at least 2 people dead and 4 injured. More people could be under the rubble. Rescue works are ongoing. The attack damaged 10 apartment buildings and 21 private houses.

This is how it’s done.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

First, I know Glenn. He’s a mental zombie. Awful human being. Liar. Shill. The other cat seems to be his intellectual twin. These are all liars. Sociopaths only feel pain.

#USDemocracy in peril

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Breaking News: President Trump fired the country’s senior military officer, a role that traditionally stays in place as administrations change.

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target. They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed. This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

I'm just saying...

More of this

Ensuring all our spies are monolingual white guys is a terrific idea. If you want to destroy our global intelligence gathering abilities. Who would want to do that? Oh, right.

I don’t think Trump understands how bad he has f’d up with Canada.

Jackson County TN Christian nationalist pastor Andrew Isker had several interactions with this account - defending slavery as not being sinful and celebrating the notion that Kamala Harris might lose her citizenship under a right-wing government.

🚨🚨This from @JBPritzker The Nazis dismantled a constitutional republic in less than two months so it is definitely time to panic.
