Semafor reports on CEOs belatedly awakening that Trump's predatory economic ideas will capsize the US economy. www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

What is wrong with Senate Democrats? There is a five-alarm Article I constitutional crisis. No votes. No attending joint session Trump speeches. No normal operations at all until all the illegal stealing of Congress’ authority stops. Why is this so hard?

Again… look at this article from Politico… the political bosses in NJ are actually acknowledging that they are changing rules to put obstacles in front of us… why?!! Bc they are scared. Look at this meet + greet last night in South Orange (150 ppl) .. we are growing! Join us at www.stevenfulop.com

Could headlines please not just take for granted that Trump “is doing” stuff he has no legal authority to do just because he said so? Because the implication to the reader is that he can in fact legitimately do these things.

U.S. Republican Senator Thom Tillis called Putin "a cancer&the greatest threat to democracy" in his lifetime: "So,when I tell that Putin is a liar,a murderer&a man responsible for ordering the systematic torture,kidnapping&rape of innocent civilians,believe me — because the evidence is mile high"

Susan Collins chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has the power to push back against the Trump-Musk misuse of federal funds. If you live in Maine and are ... concerned? troubled? worried? ... let her know and let her know often.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Susan Crawford is running to defeat Elon Musk’s chosen candidate - and Elon’s millions of $$$ - in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election on April 1st. Her @crawfordforwi.bsky.social only has 2.5K followers and it needs A LOT MORE to help get her message out. PLEASE give her a follow now.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Why won’t Elon show us the savings from DOGE? What’s he hiding?

What President Putin wants, President Putin gets.

Dems, if you don’t shove this down his throat (metaphorically) you are worthless.

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

Reason for optimism from @canarymedia.com's Dan McCarthy: "Last year’s total energy transition investment was 11% higher than in 2023 and more than double what was spent in 2020. Most of this money is flowing to electrified transportation and clean energy.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Who's the little guy behind the big desk?

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.
