We're only just starting to see the damage of multiple attacks on Democracy because the smoke hasn't yet cleared. And before it does, they'll attack again. If we somehow manage to win this war, it will take years to rebuild what's already lost. We truly need some real heroes from both parties. Now.

Trump’s attempts to slash federal spending have provoked a fiscal melee across the government — and mass confusion about what is happening with hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for road construction, farming assistance, health clinics, medical research and much more.

Trump Ukraine Policy Same As With NYC Mayor Adams – BLACKMAIL: It’s bad enough Trump is getting his rocks off playing mob boss with New York City and embattled Mayor Eric Adams. If Trump wanted to, if he really thought Adams was being unfairly prosecuted he could have pardoned Adams. However Trump…

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

Utah Valley University President Astrid Tuminez is taking a brief sabbatical after the death of her husband, Jeffrey S. Tolk, an adjunct professor of finance at UVU and mentor to many students who died earlier this month in Ecuador.

DOGE can keep accessing government data for now, judge rules

From 1945 to 1991, the United States led a coalition of freedom-loving allies to contain and then to liberate the Soviet Empire. The result has been an unprecedented era of peace, prosperity, and liberty. The long peace is on the verge of ending.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Wired identified 6 young men helping Elon with his illegal coup inside our Office of Management and Budget, their names are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Anyone knows them? Do they have SECURITY CLEARANCE?

The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Whatever you do, please don’t log on to X and retweet things about “BigBalls” and the other DOGE staffers who are hijacking the government’s payment systems and citizens’ private data.

Back in August, when @propublica.org and @documented.net obtained these training videos, this is what Leavitt had to say about Trump and Project 2025: “As our campaign leadership and President Trump have repeatedly stated, Agenda 47 is the only official policy agenda from our campaign.”

My message to Zuck

I heard: Brett Favre redirected and stole nearly $80 million of taxpayer dollars supposed to go to the neediest and poorest people in one of the poorest states in the country, so he could build a fucking volleyball court for his daughter🖕🏻

Wow — Bluesky now has nearly 26.4 million users! 🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

Mike Johnson: "I think at the end of the day, President Trump is going to prefer, as he likes to say, one big beautiful bill."

I wish Bluesky had better push notifications so I could know with precision when the people who are talking shit need to be put in their place. A lot of you are getting off easy right now.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

Matthew Livelsberger, the man killed in the Cybertruck explosion, turned out to be an abusive incel that had 2 political manifestos in which he called for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of "Dems" and "national rebirth" of "masculinity" under the leadership of Trump, Musk and Kennedy Jr.

"In just over two weeks, we’ll watch Trump be inaugurated as president. The civic forms will be familiar. But we will in fact face a new reality."

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

How could someone with 34 felonies become president?

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

One CEO gets shot and now all CEOs are scared to go back to the office. Imagine how our children feel going back to school.

How many independent media and podcast interviews did the leaders of the Democratic Party do today, since they are now starting to talk a big game about “building up progressive alternative media?” Don’t just talk about it, lead by example, and don’t just keep doing cable news.

Started looking at legislation that @warren.senate.gov and @joshhawley.bsky.social offered to reform PBMs. Definitely resolves some important points. But I it ignores just how smart the big PBMs are. It also ignores that there are 25 plus Pass Through PBMs that do the right thing for sponsors
