We need to keep repeating this! It’s ILLEGAL. What musk and trump are doing is ILLEGAL!

Breaking: Zelenskyy Offers to Step Down for Ukraine’s Future—While Trump Sides With Russia (Again)

💥 Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has sued Starbucks for its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The lawsuit alleges: "Starbuck’s workface has become more female and less white." (Page 29) WORKFACE? 😳 ago.mo.gov/wp-content/u...

Put the cocaine on the blockchain. by Elon Musk

If you'd told Germans 10 years ago that the neo-Nazi AfD would today have 20% of the vote, I don't think they'd view that as a minor issue nor find comfort in saying "well, it's only 20%; not a mandate."

Billionaires have more class solidarity than we do.

"Watch Texas spend more on prisons than it does on schools. Thinking of making your tax structure more regressive? Come to the Lone Star State and see how it’s done."

Going along with yesterday's scrubbed story about Trump being recruited as a Russian spy, an older article from The Guardian basically tells how he was groomed into politics by them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Extortion. Disgrace.

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

Nothing says "coup" quite like a loyalty test for the military! Taken to its logical conclusion: Mump will direct the US military against American citizens. Congress, are you still happy giving up all of your power and authority?

Part of the preparations for using the American military on American streets to commit violence against American citizens. Full caudillo. bsky.app/profile/avin...

Trump: Fire hundreds of thousands of career civil servants trying to keep America safe and running. Also, Trump: Give DHS a budget of up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads that repeatedly thank Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Finished week 7 of the Montana legislature and honestly, it was pretty good overall. - Dems blocked a school voucher scam program - A Republican voted NO on an anti-trans bill (a first this session in the House) - Medicaid expansion is on track to pass the senate - We got some great court wins

Periodic reminder that Elon Musk spent at least $250 million getting Trump elected—

The purge of career military officers loyal to the Constitution has begun. This is a necessary and inevitable step towards turning the military against citizens who oppose Trump's dictatorship: apnews.com/article/trum...

My concern isn’t that Americans in the millions will turns against this rotten f’er. They will. My concern is what happens after that.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

Extortion

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

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

What does it tell you that the Israeli government is thrilled that the U.S. is now run by a group of avowed Nazis repeatedly making shows of their Nazi affiliations at public rallies? Contemporary Zionism and Nazism are not opposed; they are allied and overlapping.

This is no yolk

He's taken the prize of "Most Dangerous Immigrant In History" from Rupert Murdoch.

Justice Dept. to Drop Discrimination Case Against Elon Musk’s SpaceX www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

This is unapproved Christianity

We’re in a bubble. When it pops it is going to be really ugly. Ilya Sutskever’s new company has no product and is raising $1 billion at a $30bn valuation. Mira Murati’s new company just announced a complete nothing burger. The longer this goes on the worse it will be. techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/s...

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

He's so dramatic I expected him to storm off, sweeping his cloak behind him.

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

New in PN: Unelected billionaire breaks laws to "restore" democracy "In reality, most of what Musk is up to is flatly illegal. Most egregiously, his deletion of entire depts & Trump’s refusal to spend as directed by Congress violates the Constitution. That’s why multiple courts have enjoined them."

But why should ex-presidents behave more responsibly than so many elites, from both parties and every walk of life, who are diligently keeping their heads down at this moment of national peril? One thing Trump was right about: The foolishness and cowardice of so many of our "leaders."

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

Jamelle Bouie is correct here, in my view. Using the phrase “Gulf of America” instead of “Gulf of Mexico” – the name first applied to that body of water in 1550 – has nothing to do with national pride or ideology and only to do with obedience to Tr•mp. #Obedience #Führerprinzip

If you’re suddenly not “subject to the jurisdiction of the law” once you break one law what does that, uh, suggest for the rest of us

Brilliant idea from President Donald J. Soprano: Let’s extort Zelensky and the Ukrainians one more time!! MAKE AMERlCA’S VIG AGAIN!!

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

what in the white trash is this

Sorry, but I’m unfollowing you, @axios.com. If you want me back, you know what to do.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.
