Am I the only person who thinks Trump and Putin are playing good cop/bad cop with the minerals bullshit? They’re one and the same. No one should negotiate with either of them.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Through no one's fault but my own, my secret Santa gift was delayed for many weeks, but it has been delivered so I can share it now!! My santee said he's getting into origami, so I made a basic crane on Frank Lloyd Wright inspired paper, then used the fold lines as lead lines in a stained glass!

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

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)

DOGE claims it "saved US $50B" Not sure if that's a one time or annual savings It's roughly $2.75 a week per American Not even enough for a small Starbucks latte 🤦🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, National Parks & museums have closed; VA & FAA employees have been fired; and people are dying overseas

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

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.

Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Are we the bad guys now? We're headed that way if we're not there already. By embracing Putin and other tyrants, backing out of our trade agreements, exiting alliances, and stabbing Ukraine in the back, one thing is certain, we definitely are not the good guys. www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

If this is the level of reckless sloppiness and shoddy work that is now taking over our government, do you trust them to keep our food safe, our airplanes from crashing, and our towns warned in advance and protected when tornadoes are coming? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

I’ve been hacked over in the other place, which in one way is rather a blessing. The process of trying to sort it out is, however, exasperating. This tweet (which a friend screenshot and sent) did make me laugh though, so that’s something!
