Trump has fired the country’s senior military officer, Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a four-star fighter pilot. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

One day we will wake up to his obituary.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

People i know who had a Tesla have sold them. Nobody wants a Tesla now

A small difference, now he (Putin) is sitting in Washington! 🙂

Big Chess in the 1880s "A Military Chess Tournament With Living Pieces - Capture Of The Bishop."

Shadowbanning your baby's mom on your website is crazy lol

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Measles outbreak update: “Since the outbreak emerged three weeks ago, the Texas health department has confirmed 90 cases with 16 hospitalizations, as of Feb. 21. Most of those infected are under age 18.” www.news-medical.net/news/2025022...

Why destroy the U.S. postal service? Here’s why: Do you know any elderly people who have zero access to the internet? No email address? I do. They rely on postal mail for information about their Social Security and Medicare obligations. Take away the mail, and they will have no information.

📉📉📉

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

Take a moment to process this: Musk has had his private thugs—who aren’t public servants and don’t work for the government and operate under no known standard of conduct—as _federal law enforcement agents_. When a CPAC host told him his army of security is “enormous,” he replied it should be bigger.

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on book tour instead of doing a fight back tour?

It's all about funneling public funds into the hands of billionaire predators...

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

Trump is the least popular President in American history

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

The shameful legacy of Sen. Mitch McConnell open.substack.com/pub/anntelna... And much more !

In 2028 this is what a Democratic president needs to do. We will win if you all vote blue this time.

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

The Trump presidency is a threat to the well being of the American people.

Emergency food, TB testing and other programs have not resumed, despite a judge’s order halting President Trump’s dismantling of USAID.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

BREAKING NEWS: Putin just declared the United States of America is now to be called "RUSSIA WEST".

CDC: Two indoor-only cats living in separate households in Michigan developed H5N1 bird flu in May 2024 and subsequently died. The owners were dairy farmworkers who declined testing but reported having symptoms consistent with H5N1 bird flu prior to the cats becoming ill. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

"I can no longer be a part of what we can all plainly see is happening to our country." Somebody should collect these incredible resignation letters and make them a book. This one is from Nate Brought, resigning as director of the NIH Executive Secretariat. www.linkedin.com/posts/nathan...
