“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

Love to see it!

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. 🚨 IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLE’S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ☎️ 503-212-4600 ☎️ Pass it on:

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

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

Good Morning Everyone (ty @cwebbonline.com ) Please take a moment to listen Please take a moment and be like this great guy.... Please take a moment to remember Amanda Gorman said " IF ONLY WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SEE IT." "IF ONLY WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE IT "

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Amen to that.

I literally reported this Wednesday.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

It occurred to me that firing thousands of highly skilled, highly knowledgeable people, some of whom had access to highly secret information, and now have grievances and an urgent need for money, might be considered a security risk. Like, a big one.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

Extortion, pure and simple.

This was published last October www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

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.

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.

Things are going incredibly well

For a bunch of different reasons, I think I need to hire someone to doom-scroll for me.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

When Rupert Murdoch’s rags turn on you …

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

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...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

200 million dollars of waste.

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

Americans HATED Jan. 6. That the political opposition wasn't able to harness that and turn it into a lasting defeat of Trumpism will be one of the defining stories of the 2020s, if not the century.

This is why he is such a unique liar - he repeats the lie that has been repeatedly debunked and discredited, even in front of him (as it was in the Oval Office the other day).

The first reaction to this news should be concern about the future of voting by mail www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

Not only are the Congressman’s remarks not a threat but Martin was a defense attorney for people who actually did threaten government officials - the Jan 6th insurrectionists! - and works for a president who has made multiple violent threats (2nd Amendment people and Hillary, folks, remember that?)

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Yep

Trump’s $200 million ad campaign supposedly directed at migrants is airing on…Fox News?

I am trying to imagine the reaction of Joe Biden or Barack Obama had spoken to a Republican governor in this way at a public event. I just can’t. None of us can.
