In what world did Trump think it was a good idea to bring the sex trafficing Tate brothers into America? So we are importing criminals now? Must be getting really weird over on truth social

“But Accu-Weather!!” They get their data from NWS. “But my local TV station has their own radar on a truck!” Sure, and they use it to fill small geographic gaps in the broader radar coverage that’s provided by NWS. “My weather app!” It’s getting its data from NWS.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

😥

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

The BBC is quite correct.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Will we have any allies in 4 years?

fun fact The National Park budget is $3.6 billion, but it creates $55 billion in economic output

Why did the U.S. vote with Russia and against our allies? A some point you do have to start to wonder, “what’s in it for Trump?” Trump seems totally fine with Russia winning and the U.S. losing. Why is he so hard up to serve Putin?

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

I saw someone post on a "backyard chicken group" on FB a couple days ago that "bird flu only occurs in the US" (just to stir the pot). I'm gonna guess that person only gets news from the JR podcast and FNC.

A friendly reminder that there are good sources for news that are NOT run by 'murica. It's important to see what those outside of the fish bowl are saying about the current situation.

If Ukraine didn't want to get invaded, she shouldn't have worn that dress.

In a world full of Harrison Butkers, be a Chris Kluwe! Good trouble. 🇺🇲

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

I should not have read this. About halfway through I had a thought tangentially related to the article - will our allies ever be able to trust us again? apnews.com/article/russ...

Understand USDA is now fast tracking to rehire front line employees working on bird flu outbreaks. They were “accidentally” fired by the administration.  Translation: Nice job Musk! You and your friends will still get your tax breaks, but higher egg prices for everyone else.

It seems they haven’t learned from their recent nuclear safety debacle…

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Who needs silly IRB approvals! Phase 1, 2, 3? How is THAT efficient?! Straight to humans, m'boys! We've got skulls to drill through. PSA: Elon Musk has received 1 BILLION dollars of your tax money in the last month. While thousands of civil servants have been fired without cause. #medsky

Today in History: 2/18 2014: Ukrainian Revolution of 2014 begins as protesters, riot police and unknown shooters take part in violent events in the capital, Kiev, culminating after five days in the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

This weekend looks wonderful! 🥵🌡
