I'm attending Volunteer Blue/Together We Elect's event, “No Kings–Then or Now: Historian H. Cox Richardson, AG Campbell, US Rep. Raskin - Reschedu www.mobilize.us/volunteerblu...

@wtopnews.bsky.social @nbcwashington.com Are you covering the protests in DC, Manassas, and Leesburg today?

I called both of my Senators' offices again today. I was only able to get through to one of them, he's a no on both. The other one's ph isn't working. Sent an email.

Elon’s plan is to label our earned Social Security benefits as “waste” while DOGE employees make six-figure salaries. Shameful.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 has now completely erased all gains since the election, wiping out $3.4 trillion in market value. Make America great again!

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

It says Star Wars A New Hope when you search, but it's not! And that makes my inner 5 yr old happy. Because it's what I originally saw in the theater when it came out. www.mensjournal.com/entertainmen...

So here's a fun fact. If Congress can't agree on a new budget, Trump can't legally do any new programs that weren't appropriated funds under Biden. For him to try is the opposite of impoundment (which is also illegal); it's a straight Anti-Deficiency Act violation. Extending the CR doesn't count.

Here we go. Will this even stick?

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

NEW: A clear majority of voters (57%) think that Trump’s FAA firings are making air travel less safe. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/2/...

Someone generously shared this template of a handout they were inspired to create for their local community with me. Here's a canva link if you'd like to adapt it for your communities: www.canva.com/design/DAGgN...

Union email just came through. Acting commissioner Dudek is rumored to have requested a plan to reduce SSA staff by 50%. While this is unconfirmed, I cannot stress enough how devastating this would be for the millions of people who depend on us. This would cripple our ability to serve the public. 💔

It has the Starter Pack for all the #AtlGov accounts.

NEW: Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has gained access to the internal emails and Microsoft Teams chats of employees at the country’s top cybersecurity agency, a source says.

This is good news. I hope it pans out.

New from me: Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind of false posts the company once policed: www.propublica.org/article/face...

Mark Alford (R-MO): Elon Musk has contracts with the federal government, but he is also, I think, doing an effective job at weeding out the waste, abuse, and fraud in the government. Constituents: BOOO!!! SHOW ME!!! CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! HE IS THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE!!!

I suppose Amazon will be paying this woman a lot of money now.

Rest in peace.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

It was a rough week. I had to put my cat to sleep in the early hours of Monday morning at the emergency vet. My brother had to put one of his dogs down later in the day. Monday also would have been my parents' wedding anniversary if they were still alive. I hope they're taking care of both animals.

One Russian newspaper today sums up how Moscow views events of the last few days: “Dumbfounded Europe, kneed by America just below the belt, is still struggling to get its breath back.” #ReadingRussia

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.
