Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

📉📉📉

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

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.

Chief Kristin Crowley had accused Mayor Karen Bass’s administration of underfunding the department and Bass accused Crowley of failing to prepare for the firestorm.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

Lazier than ever.

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Remember 2 weeks ago when she said she was getting 1600 calls/min compared to the usual 40. Calling them works! Call your (R) reps today and everyday!!

DOGE cuts 9/11-related cancer research funding, which FDNY commissioner calls "a tragedy for all Americans." www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

NEW: “The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed.” Because who cares about accountability in law enforcement, amirite? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This is going well… DOGE Cuts 9/11 Survivors’ Fund, and Republicans Join Democrats in Rebuke www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

📌NYT Headline: “Trump flips the script on Russia, blames Zelenskyy” Sorry, but what the fuck are we supposed to do with crap like this? 📌”Trump betrays Zelenskyy, surrenders to Russia” There, fixed it.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

Trump accuses federal workers of “playing golf.” He spent the last three weekdays golfing.

We’re all in this shit together, brothers and sisters.

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

“They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,” a former member of Trump’s first administration tells me. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Update: we are about to vote on an amendment that would help prevent increases in your energy bill. That’s money back in folks’ pocketbooks. Let’s see where GOP priorities are.

New accusations emerged that Matt Schlapp, the Conservative Political Action Conference chairman, had groped a man at a bar in Virginia during a gathering of conservatives.

— 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.

Does Congress even remember that it has the power of the purse? www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...
