This is evil. Pure evil.

TODAY: A Maryland court will hear a lawsuit from the city of Baltimore seeking to block Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the nation’s financial watchdog agency. Get background.👇

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

#ChaosEconomy Not since Covid has Consumer Confidence dropped this sharply 📉 Prices on eggs, ground beef & steak reach record highs 📈 🥚 🍔 🥩 And #TrumpTariffs are set to kick in 3/1 😱 💰 #TrumpDidThis #TrumpTaxes www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

Republicans only love the fetus.

It is impossible for me to love this woman more than I do. She knows this is a gun fight, she's not bothering with polite, equivocal, useless knives.

More than 230,000 Canadians signed a petition to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship and passport over what the petition calls his attempts to engage in practices that go against Canada’s national interest.

a season of white lotus about a mid-level bureaucrat who takes a long-awaited vacation to a resort in mexico only to discover that she’s been named the acting administrator of an agency that is wreaking havoc on the federal government

NEW: Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) said that the over $2 billion in federal funding allocated toward his state has been released following the lawsuit he filed against the Trump administration to unfreeze the funds last month.

*TESLA SINKS 8.4% TO FALL BELOW $1 TRILLION IN MARKET VALUE

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE. And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk. See the problem here?

Army Choir surrounded the MAGA hierarchy dining in White House East Room to sing "Do You Hear The People Sing" It was lost on Trump but Vance was super fidgety "Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again" #DisruptTheCoup

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

Setmayer: And the bromance he has with Putin is on purpose at the expense of Zelenskyy, because Zelenskyy has stood up for his people and democracy in ways that Donald Trump never has for America.

Respect…

NEW LAWSUIT: An employee of the VA since 2006, who took law classes at night to get a promotion to the general counsel's office in 2024, was fired as a "probationary" employee because of her recent job change. She is asking a court for her job back. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

A small group of protesters hung an inverted American flag — historically used as a sign of distress in Yosemite National Park — on Saturday. The protest came just over a week after the Trump administration abruptly fired at least 1,000 National Park Service employees. nyti.ms/4ka2zwF

America: where you can go to bed a civil servant and wake up hostage to an unelected billionaire.

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers. The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough. And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

From Rachel Cohen at Vox on twitter: this video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is playing in the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development cafeteria this morning (per source at HUD)

You cannot be pro-Trump and pro-democracy at the same time.

Putin should be pressed to agree that $300 billion of sovereign Russian assets frozen in Europe be used for Ukraine’s reconstruction. I’ve previously explained why those assets must be seized to offset the devastation Putin has wrought by his illegal war of aggression: search.app/MjfJQp23UWEu...

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention

Every day it’s like “we’re getting rid of a highly qualified woman or minority or disabled person and replacing them with a white guy who majored in skull measuring.”

the country is being run by children

Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

Love to see it!

notice the use of green and red cards being held up. if this technique was used at all town hall meetings, it will be more difficult for the press to lie about the audience.

Maine leads the way of open defiance. Thank you Janet Mills!

Gee, why isn't DOGE flagging this as wasteful spending? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

It’s nonsense—but deliberately. The terms are vague and meaningless so they can ban ANYTHING if they want to.

Paging DOGE: I found your government waste in your Trump. Fire him.
