Honestly, me too.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Back to watching CNBC. "This is not a misprint: Dow futures with an implied drop of -4.5%." Each anchor has the vibe of a guy waking up from a years-long bender on the side of the highway with no phone and an empty bank account. Continues to be better TV than almost any show.

Regardless of context or circumstances, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires” has got to be one of the strangest phrases ever uttered by a standing vice president

the U.S. government is targeting legal noncitizen scholars, not on the basis of any wrongdoing, but as part of a larger assault against an educated public.

hello ok i am awake what did i miss tell me every thing

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

less than five hundred years ago even the most powerful monarch was at the mercy of childhood disease and weather. now we can do literal concrete things about both and are in fact actively choosing to die of childhood disease and weather

How dare Al Green disrespect the dignity and honor of a speech threatening our allies

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

What a front cover...

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’ I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Trump fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and put a loyalist in his place. Very bad. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated." "This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Not sure we’ve ever had a president who hates Americans as much as this asshole does

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract. ca.news.yahoo.com/senior-u-pro...

DOGE is the “sorry, sorry, I’m trying to delete it, sorry” tweet come to life

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

This is fascism.

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

that’s right.

A lot of American airline executives apparently are too stupid to recognize that this is going to result in a steep decline in the number of Americans willing to set foot on an airplane.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Am I having a stroke or did Trump just talk about the US “owning” Gaza? And maybe sending US troops?

Are we taking over Gaza Strip before or after taking over Panama Canal and Greenland? WHAT IS THE EXACT SEQUENCE

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

At least maybe this puts an end to all those hopeful Republican-Senate-might-just-stand-up-to-Trump-when-it's-really-crazy takes of the old days of three weeks ago...

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing
