“Nicolle Wallace pierced the veil of MAGA propaganda, and the price has come due.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/anatomy-of...

While he preaches about free speech, Donald Trump is constantly calling for journalists and media members to be fired or prosecuted. I look at Trump's latest battle with Nicolle Wallace and explain the hypocrisy behind it all. Watch here: youtu.be/0IucxM67ytk

This shows you that Donald Trump isn’t bothered by the illegal use of force, war crimes, the bombing of civilian targets, and the kidnapping of children. At least not when Vladimir Putin does it. That’s sociopathic.

At least 20 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just this night by Russian missiles and drones. Hundreds of soldiers were killed on the frontline in recent days. These are the first results of the US suspension of military aid and intelligence to Ukraine: more deaths time.com/7265679/sate...

Preside Trump appears to be putting some limits on Elon Musk and DOGE. Also, Trump walked back some of his tariffs on Mexico and Canada for one month. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) joins @anacabrera.bsky.social to react. www.msnbc.com/ana-cabrera-...

Congratulations to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester for being ranked the world's #1 hospital. Thank you to all the dedicated staff and medical professionals for establishing the standard for healthcare worldwide. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

That is exactly true.

"Don't pull the rug out from under children." Coming up, @rweingarten.bsky.social joins @katiephang.bsky.social to discuss Trump’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education and the @aftunion lawsuit fighting to protect schools’ DEI efforts. Stay tuned!

I wrote this in 2022 but it’s become a focus again as Bluesky & decentralized infrastructure makes experimentation more possible. 🙂 While writing it, I went and found conference proceedings from a famous 1971 talk on attention by Herbert Simon; they were having the same conversation we are today…

It’s going to be a 4 long years.

Bernie out there working.

CONGRATS YOOPERS! You held a town hall. Bergman was a no-show, and you PACKED it! Thanks to @maddow.msnbc.com for covering it!

Within the span of a few days, another SpaceX Starship broke up on re-entry, and two other space companies faced failures. This reflects a new "fail-fast, learn-fast" ethos of spacecraft development.

Curious that all the places Trump wants to annex would be geographically convenient for a Russian partner in annexation.

"The American antisemitism now merges with the Russian antisemitism and reinforces it. The idea that Zelens'kyi is not a real president, and that his government is therefore not a real government, has been a very specific Russian antisemitic trope from the beginning."

"Right now the Democrats are carrying the load for not only our constituency but for [GOP lawmakers] too." @repjasmine.bsky.social on budget talks as a government shutdown approaches. "They are only going to answer to Elon Musk and Donald Trump"

Pete Hegseth has ordered a massive review of DOD computer archives in an attempt to “align” the department with Trump’s directive to eliminate anything related to DEI. What are America's warfighters so afraid of? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

America does not need a ‘resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Fired, Then Rehired, by the Trump Administration www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

‘This is the infiltration of yet another institution and putting people into place to be loyalists’ @weissmann11.bsky.social talks the implications of Pam Bondi’s brother running for President of the D.C. bar association.

‘The folks that they’re firing are people who are irreplaceable’: @repsuhas.bsky.social encourages federal workers to ‘keep fighting’ amid fury from Musk’s DOGE cuts.

“All of these programs are being targeted so very rich people can keep their tax cuts.” @mollyjongfast.bsky.social gets real about Trump's threat to shut down the Department of Education.

Former CIA Director John Brennan says Trump’s move to “starve” Ukraine of U.S. intelligence will weaken European countries’ trust in the United States.

‘The Republican tax cut plan calls for the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history’: @repbrendanboyle.bsky.social says the Republican budget would benefit mostly billionaires.

This Administration is raising costs and supporting corruption in ways that will hurt all Americans.

Respecting those who served our country is non-negotiable.

The attacks on science through cuts and firings are an attack on the health, safety, and prosperity of every American. I joined @standupforscience.bsky.social with Bill Nye to speak out against them.

Joined @jimacosta.bsky.social on his show to talk about the state of the world. We covered Ukraine, the measles outbreak & I introduced my screaming goat.🐐 Thanks Jim, for the thoughtful conversation as always. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

On this International Women’s Day, here’s a repost of an article from late January. In every organization I’ve been in, the inclusion of women only contributed to success & better outcomes. And there’s lots of research & anecdotes that show why. www.thebulwark.com/p/women-in-c...
