One of the best rivalries in women's soccer writes its next chapter tomorrow. Five Things to Know: USA vs. Japan #shebelievescup x @Visa

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

They’re cutting Medicaid

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer choose the pool reporter. "Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

I KNEW IT!!!

21 civil servants resigned on Tuesday rather than help implement an array of changes to the federal government being pushed by President Trump, Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. The resignations pared the unit by roughly a third.

NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones. + similar in the Department of the Interior

Almost 40% of the thousands of government contracts being canceled by DOGE will produce no savings, the AP reports.

A fake video of President Trump sucking the toes of Elon Musk briefly appeared on monitors at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Monday, according to department employees and others familiar with what transpired.

Congestion pricing raised $48.6 million in its first month -- exceeding the $40m goal they had set, even with starting 5 days into January. Cars + buses are zooming thru without sitting in traffic. I am genuinely moved by seeing policy work the way its supposed to. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/n...

I'm depressed to get so many inquiries about the Hume PhD scholarships and have to reply to say that Maynooth University has scrapped them.

Big win for USA over the Matildas. We got goals & Good Vibes from our own LYNN BIYENDOLO, a first USWNT goal for Michelle Cooper & double Thompson trouble made for a GOOD NIGHT. Now only Japan stands between the US & an 8th SonnettBelieves, sorry, SheBelieves win 🌟🇺🇸 📸 @nwslsoccer.com

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump terminated Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. CQ Brown Jr., the country’s highest-ranking military officer, from his position.

There will be no Hootie Hooing tonight. Team Rose upsets the Lunar Owls 72-63. Brittney Sykes with the game-winning free throws. Angel Reese finished with 22 points and 21 rebounds! Chelsea Gray with a team-high 26 points! #Unrivaled

“Shortly after Friday’s exchange, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it launched a Title IX violation investigation into Maine’s Department of Education and one of its school districts.”

Gov. Janet Mills of Maine threatened legal action after President Trump said he would withhold funding to her state unless she complied with his executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports. Read more: nyti.ms/3F2nn9a

Had to mute an entire country name. I can’t do it anymore.

Emergency food, TB testing and other programs have not resumed, despite a judge’s order halting President Trump’s dismantling of USAID.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

NASA has confirmed that the space agency may have sidestepped the sweeping layoffs it was expected to implement this week, potentially saving hundreds of newly hired employees and career professionals.

This is all my feed was missing since leaving Twitter!! So glad to see Larry’s work again.

Just lovely.

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers. I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

resonates.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

A Mississippi judge issued a temporary restraining order requested by the city of Clarksdale requiring a local newspaper, The Clarksdale Press Register, to remove an editorial that criticized city officials. The paper's owner said he planned to challenge the order.

A lot less seatbelts coming off after we landed today.
