This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/bl...

The internet, everyone. Still unserious. It did make me giggle, though.

Discussions around the ongoing constitutional crisis feel like conversations about climate change where the news is like “it’s coming” and meanwhile it feels very clear that it’s here and happening.

🚨BIG SCOOP: Musk’s DOGE Teen Was Fired By Cybersecurity Firm for Leaking Company Secrets Edward Coristine posted online that he had retained access to the firm’s servers. Now he has access to sensitive government information. 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Imagine if any other religion had a commercial for their religion during the Super Bowl or like ever.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

Air traffic controllers were emailed by Donald Trump's administration pushing them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the plane-helicopter crash in Washington, D.C. ARE YOU EFFING SERIOUS?!?!?!?!?!

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months. And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

The Trump administration sent an email to air traffic controllers urging them to resign. “We encourage you to find a job in the private sector,” the email says.

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel: "With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."

When asked how he can blame diversity for the plane crash with zero evidence, Trump says it's because he has "common sense." It’s apparently so obvious in his mind that a white person couldn’t have been responsible that even with no proof whatsoever, it’s "common sense" that a minority is to blame.

Serious question for Republicans: has Donald Trump ever taken responsibility for anything bad that's ever happened while he was in charge? Has he ever shouldered the blame for anything that's gone wrong?

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) just now: “You could literally walk down the street and the first 100 people you’d find would be less dangerous as the head of HHS than Robert F Kennedy Jr. He will get people killed”

Notice every Republican official addressing the media today (re: the DC airplane collision) go out of their way to make a positive mention of Trump. They know he's watching. Even in the face of terrible tragedy, they're all dancing for his favor. It's a North Korean level of sycophancy.

It took all of *one week* before top Republican donors pivoted to the real prize of Trump’s election: the prospect of extending Trump’s tax breaks for the ultrawealthy. It was never about lowering prices. It was always about lining the pockets of Trump’s donors.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says that the Trump administration thinks that birthright citizenship is "unconstitutional" when it's literally in the Constitution. This woman is embarrassing.

Zappa the man ..

The tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in Kansas has become the largest recorded in U.S. history. But Donald Trump put a freeze on communications for all agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the CDC. Bravo MAGA. 🤦‍♀️

@cbburg.bsky.social hi

"What did you think when Trump called the GA Sec. State for 11,780 votes?" Bondi: I'm not familiar with it. "How about when he described J6 felons as hostages?" Bondi: Not familiar "How about when he said immigrants were poisoning the blood of this country?" Bondi: no hablo ingles 🤷‍♀️

President elect SissyPants isn't moving his inauguration indoors because of the cold weather. It's because his fragile ego can't handle meager crowds...or wind messing up that ferret glued to his head.

Preemptive pardons for General Milley, Dr. Fauci, members of the j6 committee including Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, as well as Capitol/DC police who testified about what happened on J6. apnews.com/article/bide...

Angles matter.
