Re: Gov. Mills of Maine "Trump isn’t angry because Mills disagrees with him; he’s angry because she isn’t afraid of him. That’s what really burns."

@muellershewrote.bsky.social Please use your megaphone to request Dems create an intense obstruction effort by appointing a spokesperson (Pete Buttigieg?). Give him a position, a staff. Task would be to counter selected issues & drive them home 24/7. This is war & we are playing tiddlywinks!

Oh. 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. Via @obstinatequeen.bsky.social (but w/corrected link)

👀👀👀 Teenage DOGE worker Edward Coristine is the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who was an officer in Line X - the technical espionage division of the KGB - and became a double agent after the FBI recruited him. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

An invitation to Russia by a high-level KGB official in 1987 under the guise of a preliminary scouting trip to build a Trump hotel in Moscow, was in fact 'deep development' by KGB handlers that furthered creating secret back channels and allowed the Russians to… www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

When a country would rather have a king than elect a woman.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

During Gov. J.B. Pritzker's annual budget address, the governor compared the Trump administration's approach to Nazi Germany. “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” Pritzker said. to.wttw.com/430g2kE

If you need a pick-me-up this morning, go listen to what IL Gov. Pritzker said yesterday. Glad he’s not bending the knee. youtu.be/hS66O1C7Gp4

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

💥💥💥WATCH THIS! “Only an idiot would think we should eliminate emergency response in a natural disaster, education and health care for disabled children, gang crime investigations, clean air and water programs …” — @jbpritzker.bsky.social

Gov. Pritzker nails it.

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.”

I was asked to provide access to the course on the history of American slavery that I posted on Twitter back in 2020, and I'm going to take this opportunity to post the whole thread here with all the links to readings and sources. threadreaderapp.com/thread/12167...

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Governor Hochul can remove Eric Adams for corruption, as FDR did with Walker in 1932, through charges and a hearing. The City Council could use the 'Inability Committee.' History shows that corrupt mayors can indeed be removed from office. It’s time for Hochul and the City Council to take a stand.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

I just heard...about 5 minutes ago...Rachel Maddow said that Trump has announced he is going to INCINERATE $500 MILLION dollars of COVID-19 tests...that taxpayers have ALREADY paid for. Something needs to happen...fast. This is bullshit that cannot continue. This. Cannot. Continue.

Look closely.
