DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Front page of today’s NY Post

“Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars.”

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

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.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Trump felt like such a uniquely awful person to be dominating politics for four straight years that it never occurred to me that someone different and substantially worse could dominate politics during his second term. AND YET ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/you-will-n...

This is what obeying in advance looks like. The NSF fires 10% of its total staff in a move that went beyond what was requested by the current regime. The NSF is the flagship of US basic research infrastructure. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

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.

Ohh the irony 🤣😂🤣👇🏼 Anti migrant zealot Calvin Robinson is being deported as An illegal migrant 💥💥💥😂 When spouting hate on GB News cos playing a priest.. he demanded they go to nearest safe country.. That’s Canada for him 😂 BTW is getting “smeared by the Archbishop” code for some pervy fetish❓😳

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

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.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

A massive, self-inflicted wound on American higher education.

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

🚨🚨 BIG NEWS today in my #FOIA lawsuit against the FBI revolving around the Trump classified documents case.

Editor Commentary: Who does this to other people? To doctors, nurses, farmers, teachers, professors, scientists, veterans, working families, people with disabilities, children with special needs, poor people? What twisted, unnatural men.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

When your art historian spouse makes a protest sign

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.

“You should have never started it,” Mr. Trump said, referring to Ukrainian leaders who, in fact, did not start it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

NEW: Georgia’s governor promotes his Medicaid work requirement as a national model for reform. Yet the program has cost taxpayers $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled less than 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible.

JUST IN: 900+ former federal prosecutors sign open letter warning that Justice's Public Integrity Section could be eliminated and saluting DOJ lawyers for response to "ethical challenges." Among those signing on: former special counsel Jack Smith. Doc: www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

Nearly 1,000 former federal prosecutors ⬇️⚖️⬇️

Grief. There’s no better word for what I’m feeling now. Grief. Knowing that my life’s work is seen as frivolous and unimportant. A line in a ledger to be crossed out, by a 19-year-old kid named BigBalls.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

These barely-sentient people who believe deranged stuff like “we should make Canada the 51st state so they can vote for us” must be purged from the Democrat party.
