Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

“No President — Republican or Democrat — can withhold Federal funding authorized and appropriated by Congress and paid for by Maine taxpayers in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance with his will. It is a violation of our Constitution…” www.pressherald.com/2025/02/21/r...

If Starlink is used as a foreign policy tool to undermine European security, it should be banned from the EU market.

This is how you hold Republican Congressman accountable. Keep it up.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

This is a big effing deal.

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.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Wait, excuse me, a book tour?

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Kansas is enjoying a tuberculosis comeback, Texas is hosting its biggest measles party in decades, and bird flu’s got us importing eggs from Turkey. But sure, the smartest play is to pull flu campaigns and cancel vaccine advisory meetings. Genius leadership.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Byline Times is an excellent subscription to be made - support independent media in the UK that is without favour or fear!

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

A key lesson that America’s frontline partners quietly learned from how the US treated Ukraine after Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion is that relying on US weapons or tech that can cut-off, limited, or geofenced leaves you captive to “de-escalation” /1 www.reuters.com/business/us-...

“The UK didn’t have a general election for 10 years because of WW2 - that doesn’t make Winston Churchill a dictator. Zelensky has not banned opposition parties - just the ones openly pro-Russian, just like we banned the fascist party when Hitler was bombing the shit out of us on the nightly basis.”

"In Norway,Tesla saw a 38% sales slump,in France sales dropped 63%, & Spain 75%.

This ought to be top of the UK government's thinking re Palantir's role in the NHS. The dependency risk is not theoretical under Trump 2.0

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.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

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. 🔥🔥🔥

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

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…

Look surprised. 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

This is a big win for the crypto bros, Trump & his cronies who are making big bucks & catering to their wealthy crypto donors. Dropping the Coinbase lawsuit also legitimatizes opportunistic lawbreaking & advances the broligarchy's plans to embrace crypto as an alternate currency & destabilize the $.

BREAKING: The SEC has dropped its enforcement case against Coinbase. Coinbase spent $46 million to influence the outcome of the election. Now they're already getting their payoff.

Congratulations @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and so well deserved. You’ve delivered masterclass after masterclass in how to hold politicians and those in power to account. You are one of the finest journalists we have in this country 👏

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

“As the clock ticks toward the scheduled 2 p.m. start time, Bove’s solitary presence at the prosecution table is both conspicuous and telling. ‘Is he really going to do this alone?’ I hear someone in the gallery wonder aloud. He is, as it turns out.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/a-lo...
