Ken Martin is out there putting "I did that" stickers on himself at local grocery stores. Nothing but respect.

Rejoice in every Republican supporter fired by DOGE.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Thou draw not on thy danger and dishonor; For though usurpers sway the rule a while, Yet heav’ns are just, and time suppresseth wrongs.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems. We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵

How did the EU's electricity mix change in the last year? ☀️ Big growth in solar ☢️ 🌊 Rebound in nuclear & hydro 💨 Not so much growth in wind 🏭 Large drop in fossil fuels (both coal and gas) 🔌 Demand up From @ember-energy.org's new European Electricity Review: ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Ukraine has published information on Christian churches destroyed by russia during its full-scale invasion. According to the report, as of February 2, 2025, the russians had damaged or completely destroyed 642 religious buildings, of which 596 were Christian churches. United 24 Media / Instagram

🇬🇧🇺🇦”WE WILL RAVE ON PUTIN’S GRAVE” London, UK!

Trump has announced a second round of Ukraine peace talks with russian diplomats in Riyadh on February 25, 2025. European leaders are concerned about Ukraine's exclusion from these discussions, fearing the talks may favour russia. Trump is proceeding despite these objections.

This vibe reminds me of a Tea Party town hall I attended on Long Island a dozen years ago.

Russia has no interest in negotiating. Their aim is clear: destroy Ukraine. Europe can’t wait for Trump to meet Putin. We have the collective power to tip Russia’s economy off a cliff. Embargo Russian energy, crack down on sanctions dodging, & give 🇺🇦 seized RU assets in the EU.

In case someone forgot, russia ruthlessly targeted a children's cancer hospital. russia is a terrorist state.

🇨🇦🇺🇦Canada support and stand with Ukraine.

Posted by @warmonitor3.bsky.social on another platform: “Massive military aid package being sent by Europe to Ukraine in the next couple days. And I mean massive.”

“Business acumen.” Hahahahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

European leaders unite to support Ukraine's sovereignty and involvement in peace talks. As concerns grow over Ukraine's exclusion from negotiations, the prime ministers of Greece, Spain, and the UK have voiced strong backing for Kyiv, emphasizing that any path to peace must include Ukraine.

Whatever the reasons, we must rid ourselves of anything American that is important. We can continue getting diabetes from Coca Cola and get fat from McD, but anything above that we need to produce ourselves. No American dependencies. It's way too risky.

Lavrov claims Russia never targeted Ukraine’s energy grid—yet over 1,100 attacks prove otherwise. Entire cities left without power as Russia systematically destroys Ukraine’s infrastructure.

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

One thing Democrats need to be careful about when criticizing DOGE is not defending the system. The government *is* broken. There *is* wasteful spending—but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. What Trump and Musk are doing is absolutely the wrong way. It's reckless and makes us less safe.

Politics aside, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure my son doesn't turn out like these losers—especially Musk. He screams about masculinity but ignores his 13 kids. His baby mamas have to tweet just to get his attention. Real men protect and provide for their families. Fuck that guy.

President Trump has urged President Zelensky to “get together” with President Putin to end the war in remarks that appear to contradict his previous comments that it was not “very important” to include Ukraine in talks ⬇️

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

With Trump loyalists now running the military, the FBI and the CIA, Trump knows he has people in place who will obey his orders. Even if they are illegal.

FUN FACT: Consumer sentiment has already declined by nearly 10% in the one month since Trump took office.

Only, we want a little personal strength; And pause us till these rebels, now afoot, Come underneath the yoke of government.
