Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Nothing says you’re a good steward of taxpayer money like bricking thousands of EV chargers that were installed at taxpayer expense for no reason other than that you hate EVs

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

I know it’s often been said before but it never ceases to amaze me that Americans were living in domestic peacetime, with falling violent crime rates, steady GDP growth, and the longest-running democracy in history, and a slight plurality wanted to be oppressed so bad they elected someone to do it

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by Republicans. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Great day out with @njwfp.bsky.social in District 7 to tell Congressman Tom Kean Jr., HANDS OFF Medcaid, SNAP and the ACA! Call 1-866-426-2631 today and tell your Congressional Representatives not to gut these vital programs so billionaires can have another tax break.

The Trump administration is weighing whether to destroy $500 million in stockpiled covid tests, @lenasun.bsky.social + Carolyn Johnson scoop. The effort comes after Trump rescinded a Biden executive order to ensure the nation would have ample covid tests on hand.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

By the way, if anyone has the slightest doubt that Donald is full of shit about Canadians getting “the best treatment” and “better care” should their country be annexed by the US, I encourage them to note the relative positions of Canada and the USA on this graph.

Utter failure to grasp what we are facing www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... 1. People lack the framework to recognize an attempt to overthrow the constitutional order 2. The lack of elites acting like point 1 is true makes it illegible. Without Ds behaving as if it's a crisis, it's not a crisis.
