EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

He’s doing a golf cart parade at his own club. What a pathetic jackass.

The argument that Trump Media Group is making about a judge's interpretation of his country's laws is the same argument that Musk made about Australia's eSafety commissioner when she sought the removal of terrorist content on X under the country's Online Safety Act. 1/

Republican congressmen in the US have introduced a bill to completely withdraw the country from the UN. The bill proposes stopping funding for the UN and its agencies and banning participation in peacekeeping missions.

Never a waste of time watching Jonathan Pie! youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

This is a coup.

As detailed in Proof of Destruction—see below—the claims that America has sent hundreds of billions to Ukraine and that half of what America sent is missing were laundered by the Kremlin and the FSB through Tucker Carlson, who Canada calls a Kremlin agent. The actual figures: $56 billion and <2%.

NEW: DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Of course.

ProPublica found that some of the largest health insurers have created a playbook that prevents people from getting the mental health care they need. Join us tomorrow, Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation as we discuss barriers to care. RSVP: https://propub.li/4k4GYWm

As tRump verbally assaulted Ukraine & Zelenskyy, Moscow’s elite popped champagne in glee. Russian officials were ecstatic over the US abandoning its ally, relishing the chaos as Ukraine continues to face Putin’s relentless invasion. This is a dark day for democracy. www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Now, apply this to SCOTUS.

"...Trump has unleashed a government-wide attack on people w/ disabilities.... If successful, these actions could have catastrophic consequences for millions of Americans, according to disability rights experts." Beat the paywall: archive.ph/M7Eos

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

This is what is life for Ukranians under Russian occupation. It’s heart wrenching & this is what putin & the 🍊💩 want to continue. f47 wants this for us & those that don’t understand that are in for a huge surprise substack.com/@snyder/note...

A vigilant individual used the @sandyhookpromise.bsky.social Anonymous Reporting System to flag concerns, preventing a potential mass school shooting in Indiana. This lifesaving system shows the difference that awareness & proactive reporting can make in saving lives.💚 apnews.com/press-releas...

I would highly suggest you all buy a copy of the constitution before it's banned by executive order

I do not want to scare people who rely on Social Security as a lifeline- but I am very confident that Trump and Musk are laying the groundwork with their lies to justify massive cuts to Social Security. The MAGA base will go along. It will be up to us to rise up:

Top-ranking officials with the CDC, the HHS subagency that oversees the program, told CBS News that the cuts would have a devastating effect on the country’s ability to assess blooming diseases.

It is important to celebrate the wins when we get them.🥳 President Donald Trump’s administration halted defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after Democracy Forward, on behalf of the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit, filed a lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Ida B Wells is one of the most important and consequential organizers, intellectuals, theorists, sociologists, journalists of the 20th century [worldwide]. The vast majority of USians don't have a clue of her actual contributions. Because she didn't write academic tomes, she's understudied IMO.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

For decades, the U.S. has funded science, then left scientists to direct their own work. Science has flourished, and the country has benefited. Now the government is testing just how much it can renegotiate that relationship, @katherinejwu.com writes:

"The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants."

Heartbreaking.

All you parents who refuse to vaccinate your children against measles: Measles can cause blindness. But sure, you love your kids. www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/r...

I believe one of the goals mentioned by Christopher Steele who drafted the Steele Dossier was that Trump destroy NATO. Russia can tick that off their to do list. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

That cat never lies. 🤭🤦🤷

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Thanks to Elon Musk and DOGE, our adversaries now have access to sensitive information about one of our intelligence agencies. Elon Musk and DOGE staff should NOT have access to sensitive national security information. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

🚨BREAKING: Two attorneys with DOJ Public Integrity Section have entered appearances, and moved to dismiss the criminal indictment against Eric Adams. This stain on this once proud part of DOJ will not easily be erased.

Lame. Weak. Useless. Cowardly.
