So it basically took a month for the U.S. to go from guardian of the western world to the guy you wouldn’t trust to cat-sit Impressive

It's not in spite of these indicators, it's *because* of them. Affluence and ennui are powerful drivers of modern authoritatianism.

I wouldn’t call this hilarious…

I ran into some lameo Neocon touting the tired PP lie that crime was rampant in Canada & bail was out of control. So just to clarify for the poorly informed, Canada has some issues it is addressing but, as seen here the dark green out of 160 countries are the safest in... the... world. #Canada 🍁🇨🇦🍁

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Tom Homan confirms on Fox News that he's asked the DOJ to investigate AOC

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Trump is the first president to inherit a strong economy an kill it with incompetence and corruption . . . . TWICE.

I quote Ortega y Gassett in the Death of Expertise - and in a piece I have coming tomorrow about Musk and Trump

just some of Project 2025's sections on women..

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican presidents. So much for Republicans being the party of "fiscal responsibility"; they will gladly drive up the debt if it means they can pass a Tax Scam for their billionaire friends and corporations.

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

It takes over 25 ¶¶ before WaPo explains why Trump is failing to meet the deportation numbers he promised: Stephen Miller lied about the number of criminal aliens in the US to fearmonger and get Trump elected. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Journalists are getting the story out, activists are staging protests, courts are weighing in. The Democrats need to tie it all together in high profile daily briefings for the entire country. My latest on the urgent need for a counter narrative to Trump/Musk. ⤵️ open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Hands-down the best thing you'll read today. When your existence is threatened, fight like a warrior, not a wimp.

I'm going to post this every day until that man is dead and gone. youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

This is not business as usual. Democrats, we need you to rise to the occasion. Don't be a Merrick Garland.

He’s right again.

True.

If true, Donald Trump & Elon Musk & Hegseth now responsible for a Broken Arrow incident

It's not just the money, either. A venue manager told me that when they're setting up her show, she went out and introduced herself to the locals doing the work to thank them. He said that's the only act he's ever seen do that. You don't have to be a fan of her music to be a fan of Taylor Swift.

We should have told them.

We small businesses appreciate this 🙏🏻

U.S. inflation accelerated last month as the cost of groceries, gasoline and rents rose, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs and likely underscoring the Federal Reserve’s resolve to delay further interest rate cuts. #MAGA #TRUMP www.pbs.org/newshour/eco...

don’t worry, he’ll just release millions of gallons of water in places it won’t help at all

If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding

“Ignore the media headlines reporting that these moves ‘raise questions’ or ‘push the boundary.’ It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.” www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Oh that’s interesting

Why?

Hope none of you made Temu purchases recently.

Can an investigative journalist working for a news organization please dig into what Trump might have on Rubio? Asking for 330 million friends.

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Weird how no one has come up with a catch nickname for Trump like “Genocide Joe.” I guess it’s not cool now.

Here’s every reason you’ll ever need for not lowering the voting age by even an hour.

The man Musk is amplifying is a brutal far-right dictator who arrests his citizens for everything from crimes to having long hair and puts them in what's considered the worst prison on Earth—where the expectation is that they will shortly die. Musk wants U.S. citizens sent there. He's utterly mad.
