When President Trump fired the head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command on Thursday, it was the latest in a series of moves that have torn away at the country’s cyberdefenses just as they are confronting the most sophisticated and sustained attacks in the nation’s history.

Sen. Peter Squelch (Black Faced Shealthbill party) addressing congress today. He is attempting to champion a resolution to sell penguin eggs in return for tariff renegotiation. So far, he’s received cold shoulders and some Senators who’ve even flipped the bird, in a typically polite Ice House.

BREAKING: We're suing to challenge the destruction of the CDC's FOIA office, which violates both the FOIA and Administrative Procedures Act. It is crucial that Americans have transparency into the CDC’s operations and DOGE’s apparent interference in public health agencies.

Another superb cartoon from #DavidRowe

Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins of Battle Creek served honorably in the Army for the last seven years, and this week we learned of his tragic death during a training accident in Lithuania. Yesterday, his remains came home during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force base.

@fpwellman.bsky.social: You can’t say, on one hand, "I can't trust the government, they’re all bureaucrats," and then say, on the other hand, "Well, they're all criminals because the government said so—so let’s ship them to El Salvador forever." You're fucking losing your minds if you think so.

But, let’s not mince words. The threat we face is vast, coordinated and dangerous. Trump doesn’t run a normal administration — those follow the law. He runs a regime that’s wreaking havoc on our economy, democracy and national security and meant to enrich and protect himself and his friends.

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

Here’s what you need to know about protecting Social Security.

Newscast: "Yesterday, the stock market had its worst day in five years..." Me: "And who was president five years ago?"

These lightly spiced cookies are pleasingly chewy in the center and crisp around the edges, with a hint of butterscotch from the dark brown sugar. They keep really well, so they’re great for mailing when a package of cookies is in order. nyti.ms/4iYLvcb

"The post-1945 international economic system produced by far the greatest increase of global prosperity in history. This economic system was part of an international political system that produced less war and more peace, less dictatorship and more freedom." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-call...

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

We can only hope...

Here’s your morning slap in the face. I read this thinking it was recent… then I got to the end and wow. Trust me, you will have the same reaction.

flippers up

My Republican colleagues like to say they are pro-defense, pro-patriot, pro-America, and pro-flag. If that's true, then stand up for our uniformed military officers who served 30 years. Don't let them go down in flames because you are scared.

The market is crashing, prices are soaring, and Donald Trump is golfing. You deserve a lot better than this. And it will be on us to build something new.

Can you imagine the conversations happening in other government admins right now. They have actual intelligent people figuring out how to fuck over the U.S. tremendously right now

I vote for people based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin. If you don't, YOU are the problem.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Must read from @markhertling.bsky.social on our soldiers in Lithuania. www.thebulwark.com/p/when-ameri...

Seems bad

Get her into the Senate, New York, I beg you

The penguins react to tariffs

If there's one thing I know about penguins; they really really REEEEEEALLY hate tariffs ;) #DowJones #LiberationDay

Dropping off my 90-year-old mother tomorrow for her first political rally in her life. So that’s where we are.

Photos from Kamala Harris speech yesterday. Nice to see we've got something positive and encouraging to make us all smile again. 💙

Assume tariffs dead.

End of last year I saw discounted tulip bulbs, a whole back for a dollar. Threw them in the ground and hoped for the best. They’ve all grown nicely so far and today the first one started to bloom. Not bad for only a buck.

As long as I live, I will never understand why they would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

Obama last night: "This system we set up created the wealthiest, healthiest, most peaceful era in human history... We're seeing a US govt actively try to destroy that... Imagine if I'd done any of this... Unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would've tolerated behavior like that."

Tune in! I am going to the floor of the Senate to talk about how your health care is under threat, and how we must protect Medicaid and Medicare from unnecessary cuts that will bring real harm to Michigan. www.youtube.com/live/ITdob-9...

Welcome to the family, Yared! 🌈❤️

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

On this day in 1968, the civil rights trailblazer Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Without him, we would not have become a society for all Americans. To preserve MLK's legacy, the Congressional Black Caucus will continue work together to protect DEI. Rest in power, Dr. King.

It’s not 3 dimensional chess, it’s never 3 dimensional chess

👇👇👇He is Putins puppet….bitch puppet to be more accurate.

My hero, Cory Booker, not only broke the record for length of speech on the Senate floor but was coherent, passionate, clear, and rational the entire time. “If America hasn’t broken your heart, you don’t love her enough.” 1/

I should have made more AOCs.

Breaking News: Canadian officials are being hampered by their search for things to tariff in Red states. "After you put tariffs on booze, what can you do with a place whose main products are incest, domestic violence, and addiction?" said one official.
