Times on msnbc: Joy Reid cancelled, Alex Wagner not returning, Jen Psaki full time (maybe), new lifeless panel show at 7 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

MSNBC shake-up: the issue is, they didn't have a Joy Reid problem. They have a Joe Scarborough problem. Until he is fired, MSNBC will not recover. Shuffling tepid shows in and out does nothing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

WE NEED A NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: Trump posts we aren’t at risk in a European War because the Atlantic Ocean will protect us He doesn’t know Oceanic Defense was disproved in the ‘20s and at Pearl Harbor. We’re in danger GET THE ALL-NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST tinyurl.com/bdhmjb44

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

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)

Kristi Noem’s week: • Sent 400 ICE agents to Colorado and made ONE arrest. • Got the Acting Director fired. • Played dress-up cosplay. • Cheated with Corey Lewandowski. • Wacked more puppies and goats.

You probably already are, but…if you are not, @fpwellman.bsky.social is someone you should consider following. If you like my stuff, you’ll like his.

Tom Homan is publicly threatening the City of Boston. He says he will rain hellfire on it. It sure worked out well the *last* time an authoritarian government threatened Boston.

“The Governor has his lane and I’ve got mine” Colorado Attorney General @philweiser.bsky.social responds to Colorado’s Governor showing some support for Trump’s actions.

⚡ Zelenskyy: Ukraine is paying for Starlink services. Poland and Germany are helping. We are thankful for this technology but this is a service that we are paying for.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

"They're firing people at the VA hotline, the suicide prevention hotline, which, by the way, three years ago or so, we plussed up because too many veterans were killing themselves. Now all of a sudden we're cutting that because we want to save a few dollars."

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

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

We need more of this. You are absolutely right @smith.senate.gov, he is just a dick. The problem is that we are letting him and all of the other dicks run amok and shred our Democracy. USE YOUR POWERS IN THE SENATE TO RENDER THESE DICKS IMPOTENT!!!!

In every photo I see of this man, Marco, he looks to have lost his soul.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

His poll numbers are TANKING.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Wise man…

Make it make sense! 🤦🏻‍♀️

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.
