Wow! So scary!

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Just gonna leave this here. 😒

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

We need more of this!

High as a kite!

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

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.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

European Parliament member 👇🏽

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

The modern GOP was defined by Reagan at the Berlin Wall. It is now defined by supporting a dictator invading a European nation. This is the Republican Party’s legacy.

@raskin.house.gov gives advice to fired federal workers: "Federal workers need to stay in very close touch with their unions and with the litigation that's going on, because we're wining in almost every case. In more than a dozen cases, there have been TROs and PIs issued against the Trump admin."

That Trump is now calling Pres. Zelensky a “dictator” and it talked the U.S. into spending $350 billion (a lie) for a war Ukraine started (another disgusting lie) should remind you the White House occupant is mentally deranged and must be opposed at all times.

NEW: Two planes were involved in a fatal crash this morning at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona At least one person is confirmed dead in what the Marana Police Department is describing as an "aircraft collision." More details to come.

Dark Pence is back.

Can anyone say Narcissism?

Such hysterics! Try to get yourself under control.

Welcome back, Cathy.

MAGA in a nutshell: "Please only viciously hurt *other* people for giggles and kicks!!!"

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you’ve been scolded by the Pope AND by the Auschwitz Memorial in the same week, it’s time to take a minute and reconsider your choices.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

President's Day rallies

This is absolutely chilling. A glimpse of the totalitarian state to come.

You could not pay me to fly right now!

You’re right. I’m sorry. I agree with you. The baby needs a bath. So let’s just dump it in a vat of Clorox. Is it Clorox? Hell, who cares what’s in there—just dump it in! We’re just gonna throw the bathwater out anyway!

Nazism worked in a country of 80 million people. It won’t work in a country of 335 million. We were shocked in 2016. In 2025. We are pissed.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the best. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

JD is sick of being taken advantage of? I’m sick of him lying!

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

It’s the “Cult of America” and “Gulf of Mexico,” and not the “Gulf of America.”

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

They could stream on YouTube every evening at the same time. People would know that there was a daily recap and tune in when they could.

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?! Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

What is every other news organization with any integrity going to do in response to this? Nothing? Because unless you are an appeaser, it is only a matter of time until you are next. Trump thinks media outlets will never band together to show a united front. So far, he’s correct.

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

I love this

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

Unbelievable the number of things happening under this administration

Elon Musk is developing a new payment platform called “X Money.” Guess which agency would be making sure that Elon’s new project couldn’t scam you or steal your sensitive personal data? The CFPB.
