🧵The Weekend is back with @symonedsanders.bsky.social, @michaelsteele.bsky.social and @aliciamenendez.bsky.social from 7am-10am ET!

There’s that.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

Agree 💯

Donald Trump and Elon Musk believe their power is unchecked and unaccountable to Congress and the courts. The scary thing is at this point I’m not sure they’re wrong.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.

Of course the new Propaganda Barbie of Blatant Bullshit Press Secretary lied when she said we were sending “$50 million worth of condoms to Gaza”, but hey - she was wearing a great big giant cross when she said it so it’s fine.

Any holiday not about straight white Christian men will be "paused."

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

The video is too long for me to post here. But this is a link to Caroline Kennedy reading her letter to senators about her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In a nutshell, she depicts him as an unqualified, deranged, drug-addled, corrupt, and lying sociopath. x.com/jbkschlossbe...

Senators’ phones have been ringing off the hook with nonstop calls from hospitals, police departments, volunteer firefighters, food pantries, drug treatment centers, on and on and on.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

Hey guys! I’ve started something new. My new Substack… Go check it out! jimacosta.substack.com/p/hold-on-to...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

What moron at @cnn.com thought it was a brilliant idea to keep Scott Jennings on the network while pushing Jim Acosta to leave?

The Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing HIV medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics. Because cruelty is the fucking point.

We need experts and expertise. We have complex systems for a complex world. We are now facing the consequences of exceedingly arrogant and cruel people making extremely stupid decisions to appease a malignant narcissist who wants quick, simple results for problems that require expertise and nuance.

 and yet, at the moment he’s golfing

The incoming felon-elect is willing to send our troops to “take back the Panama Canal” in order to stop their government from investigating his businesses there, but he says that lowering the price of groceries here at home will be “too hard.” Anyone else see a problem here?

Hakeem Jeffries: "Republicans are marching America to a painful government shutdown that will crash the economy and hurt working-class Americans because they would rather enact massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors than fund cancer research for children."
