He was always a used car salesman at heart.

Trump is using the White House to make a commercial for the richest man in the world while Americans’ 401ks are plummeting.

Dicks Sporting Goods is one of the good guys! 🏆

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha times infinity

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow! Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

Trump doesn’t need much cover to make benefits cuts with his cult. They would smile and give a thumbs up if he were to empty their bank accounts, and take their house. But he still needs someone to blame when his cutbacks hurt all of us.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Celebrate Black History Month!🖤❤️💛💚🤎 REFUSE TO BE SILENT! NFL removed the “End Racism” sign for the Super Bowl, that’s been in the end zone since 2021; felon/GOP/oligarchs are scrubbing websites, purging USA government, trying to re-White history in perverse unAmerican, antidemocratic Christofascism!

This tweet is setting up the Trump administration to thrust the U.S. into a constitutional crisis and obliterate our system of checks and balances as we know it.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

J.D. Vance Says ‘Judges Aren’t Allowed to Control’ Trump’s ‘Legitimate Power’ The declaration by the vice president came as court orders have temporarily blocked parts of the Trump administration’s agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ? This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked. Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues. @bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

I don’t know how Trump can deal with all of this incredible Black talent at the Super Bowl!

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

More of this, America.

"If the 'DOGE' endeavor is working, why can’t the White House just tell the truth about what it's doing?" www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

LOL

This !!

I can see it now. First you build hotels in Gaza. Then of course you go to the Ukraine. Find nothing but the best land and rebuild. .. You can train the staff at Mar a Lago ....

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

When President Trump announced his proposal for the U.S. to take ownership of Gaza, he shocked even senior members of his own White House and government. His administration hadn't done even the most basic planning to examine the feasibility of the idea, people with knowledge of the discussions said.

Who else thinks we really need an upside-down American flag emoji right now?

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

FFS! His highness Trump³⁴ imagines a new era of American Imperialism: • Take over Greenland • Seize the Panama Canal • Make Canada our 51st state And tonight he explained he wants to send or sons & daughters to occupy Gaza where he's planning to take the land and build Riviera-like resorts

We need to be calling all of our electeds, at all levels of government and insist they fight Trump/Musk's savage attack on US govt, the reckless tariffs, his unacceptable nominees. This has become a national fight, a true all hands on deck moment...👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-a...

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Thank you, Canada!

Lets no wait until "election season" to get to work. My latest... open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

It feels like we’re heading for a Liz Truss-style blow-up in the US in the very near future, except of a much greater magnitude. Brace yourself. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Sean Duffy refuses to say under questioning from Jake Tapper that there's no evidence DEI had anything to do with the DCA disaster, even though he can't produce a shred of evidence to back up the notion it did
