The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

No lies detected.

NYT: “DOGE deleted the top five highest savings claims on its ‘wall of receipts’ leaderboard after variousnews outlets pointed out multiple errors in its calculations…” newrepublic.com/post/191973/...

#UK: While MSF does not receive UK Government funding, we are deeply concerned about the far-reaching impact of repeated and sustained aid reductions. Countries affected by conflict, natural disasters, and disease outbreaks where we operate will suffer immensely.

You should be fundamentally mistrustful of a political movement that despises investigative journalists and writers while loving pundits and talking heads

OPINION: The impact of cutting international assistance is incredibly harmful, and it hurts America too. It’s time for our former leaders to speak up. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/usai...

Visiting my husband’s family and friends in India for the first time. Several were under the impression that the US provided free healthcare AND college to its citizens.

2016, 2020, 2024—and they still don’t realize they’re on the menu…

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers at the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

Janet T. Mills finally did what we’ve needed someone in power to do. Hopefully she will not be the last.

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous. Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

There is no specifically enumerated Constitutional right to safe air travel, so it's hard to see why Democrats are so upset about all the plane crashes. by Jonathan Turley

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

LIVE: President Trump's illegal reversal of FEMA funding

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Efforts to paint the moments we're in as “anti-American” while romanticizing US history and its foundations do not dig us out of fascism; they dig us deeper in. Tell the truth about how this country came to be and what it is now, or expect more problems.

“it is all the same old serpent.”

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Q: “You said $50 million in condoms were sent to Hamas. That wasn’t true.” Musk: “Some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000.” 🤷🏻

shut up about your material circumstances already, these graphs prove we let you eat cake

Dozens of US middle school students at a U.S. military installation in Germany walked out as part of protests aimed at Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The main organizer was a 13 year old girl. #3E #EndImpunity

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society). We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it. This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

💰 Cutting billions in programs for regular people while passing trillions in tax cuts for the rich while pretending to care about the debt. Pay attention.

if your narrative starts to solidify, place it in a glass bowl above a pot of boiling water and stir constantly until it becomes smooth and workable

BREAKING: We are suing DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to stop the brazen and illegal data sharing of federal employee data with the “government efficiency” group.

President Trump banning the Associated Press from an event over their usage of "Gulf of Mexico" instead of "Gulf of America" may seem more absurd than alarming, but Trump's attacks on the free press are no joke.

During his visit to a US base in Germany, Def Secretary and rapist racist, Pete Hegseth, was booed by military families. #3E

This one’s for the whole world. Go to your App Store. Leave Google maps a one star review. Feel free to leave other Google products a one star review as well. Reason: ignorance of geography and colonialist sympathies. #3E

Danes offer to buy California to spite Trump’s Greenland aims: ‘We’ll bring hygge to Hollywood’

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony. This is where we are now. Video: www.facebook.com/share/v/1AQh...

Breaking his oath of office. Betraying the Constitution and the American people

Look the price of freedom is that airplanes crash more. If you don't like it move to china

BREAKING: Elon Musk's DOGE team is now inside the Department of Education & actively dismantling federal programs. Sources on Congress suggesting the whole department could be dissolved within days. THIS. IS. ILLEGAL.

In the absence of Government leadership, the private sector is calling for real climate action; real zero, not net zero. Industry and community leaders are calling for the Government to rapidly phase out fossil fuel subsidies and stop approving new gas and coal mines. #auspol

Useful analysis: "At risk of oversimplification, while the People’s March and 50501 events talked about saving the system, We Fight Back events were more about overhauling or even overthrowing the system." dartthrowingchimp.wordpress.com/2025/02/11/t...

Google really insists that we divest.

AFGE members rallying with dozens of allied unions for federal workers and a non-partisan civil service in D.C. against Trump and the oligarchy's “Fork Directive”. #3E #EndOligarchy #AFGE
