Any media outlet hanging on to a shred of journalistic timber should televise these hearings.

Trumpcession: It’s Thursday. There are 614 days until the midterm elections. The brain worm guy starts messing things up, the president frees some sex traffickers and get ready for the orange recession. More:

BREAKING: The measles outbreak in Texas has grown to 124 cases, with 18 hospitalizations, ABC News reports. Most cases are in unvaccinated people or those with unknown vaccination status. I’m starting to think that making a notorious anti-vaxxer the HHS Secretary wasn’t the best idea…

A Republican congressman assaulted the woman he was having an affair with. DC police was ready to arrest him, but they can’t because the U.S. attorney who today proclaimed itself “President Trump’s lawyer” won’t sign a warrant against a Republican.

I’ve been doing a lot of research about the people being laid off at the national parks and it turns out it has nothing to do with DEI or performance. It’s a land grab so they can drill baby drill.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

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.

AMEN! 100% This!

A full third of federal government employees are veterans. Elon and co think fed employees are a bunch of granola eating liberals but they're sorely mistaken. Rendering hundreds of thousands of veterans unemployed with cuts to their VA healthcare and no job prospects is a recipe for an insurgency.

please read, share and act!

so true

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

Wise man…

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

still waiting on my cheaper gas too...

This is probably the most accurate take.

The community note 🤌😘

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

If Pam Bondi wants to dismiss the Eric Adams indictment, she can just do it herself. She is the attorney general, she doesn’t need to have a line prosecutor do it for her. But they want to be able to say a career person did it.

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

ICE just adopted new policies making it harder for Congress to prevent deportations, per memo leaked to me:

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

Governors should demand that the Trump administration maintain air safety and transportation safety standards, generally. Travel is a critical part of our economy. We should all write to our governors and state legislators and ask them to insist on an immediate halt to further changes at FAA & NTSB.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

The Senate confirmed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State by a vote of 99-0. Democrats offer an endless supply of goodwill to Republicans that will never be reciprocated.

If it looks like a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck), swims like a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck), and quacks like a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck), then it probably is a fucking Nazi (umm…a duck).

Not surprised at all .

Thank you Donald Trump for failing to protect us when you knew how bad Covid was

We should NEVER forget this

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

As I told Eric Lipton at the NYT here, this does not work. “If the president receives any profits or benefits from foreign governments — not just new deals — then he is in violation of the Constitution. The money flow has to stop on Jan. 20.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/u...

Keep the poor sick and ignorant- easier to control. Goal: create our own mass of extra low income workers
