As Lavrov chats to Rubio in Saudia Arabia, Putin ramps up the war

The fact of the matter is that America, as embodied by this administration, is no longer allies with our traditional allies. That is over. America's allies are now Putin, the AfD, Viktor Orban, and other far-right, fascist regimes.

This says it all, really. "President Vladimir V. Putin on Wednesday praised the U.S. delegation in Riyadh for not criticizing Russia as previous administrations did" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington, DC has issued an order setting a path for the first round of discovery to be served in a lawsuit involving Trump and Musk’s efforts to restructure the government. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/QHzyeOXUWgM?...

Whoopsie.

He should be our messenger.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

How do we even know that Elon's DOGE hackers aren't using their computer skills to peel money off of everyone's Social Security accounts? WE DON'T KNOW. There is no transparency. All we know is Elon's goal was to *find* 2 trillion dollars without touching Social Security, and that's impossible.

Under President Biden’s leadership, inflation was decreasing. Under Trump's economic malpractice, it's increasing. This isn't rocket science.

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.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

"The actions of Musk and DOGE have created moral dilemmas of a kind no American government employee has faced in recent history. Protest or collaborate? Speak up against lawbreaking or remain silent?" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

“Vice President JD Vance criticized the U.S. Catholic Church’s efforts to help immigrants and refugees, suggesting the Church is motivated by money…” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

America got this look on its face like oh, yeah, NOW I remember why we threw this assclown out of office the first time.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Trump has fired at least 19 inspectors general without cause and now 8 of them are filing a lawsuit against the White House. When asked why they weren’t consulted before being ousted, Fmr. Veteran Affairs IG Michael Missal says, “maybe they want lap dogs instead of watch dogs.” #Velshi

Concerns over Musk’s conflicts of interests grow as he undermines fed. regulators. DOGE has gutted “every aspect of accountability outside of the fed. court system,” says Eric Lipton. Current ethics laws are too “antiquated” to address Musk’s vast entanglements says @kirstengrind.bsky.social #Velshi

Tim Kaine on Fox News Sunday: Why isn't Trump getting the Republican leaders down in the White House and saying, 'here's what we're gonna do'? He's making all these cuts without Congress because he doesn't even think the Republican leadership will go along with him

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses… Both sides were never the same.

THE ECONOMIST: “This narrative has a glaring flaw - our review of official data shows that Mr Musk’s efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.” www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Blast this out to every PTA in America

This is so unsurprising. Did anyone think Elon was doing all of this work just for fun?

Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker says Pete Hegseth made a “rookie mistake” by calling a return to Ukraine’s pre-war borders “unrealistic.” “I don’t know who wrote the speech — it is the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a fool.” www.politico.eu/article/sena...

“Over 1000 workers dismissed at the Department of Veterans Affairs…” abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

This.
