Tug of war?

My god!

You’re not wrong.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

MAGA is aggressively turning their own base against them. Only been a month. This is an addition to the thousands of jobs they've cut.

"Presidents only get so much political capital. Trump has decided to invest his finite capital into supporting Putin's authoritarian regime in Moscow..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Still, the DOGE team landed at the Social Security Administration this week, with Musk drawing attention for his outlandish claims that large numbers of 150-year-old “vampires” are receiving Social Security payments. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Slashing NIH funding is a direct attack on life-saving research happening in Minnesota and across the country. The Trump administration's proposed cuts would jeopardize breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease, PTSD treatment, and more. We must continue to fight back.

Here I am protesting in Sacramento on Presidents' Day:

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

To Governor Mills and the state of Maine Thank you for reminding us That in America We fight for people who are unjustly ostracized We follow the rule of law We stand up to bullies We damn sure aren’t ruled by a king AND WE DO NOT BEND THE KNEE TO WANNABE TYRANTS EVER

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

With my full chest: Fuck these fascist nihilist fuckbags.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Vaccines are so effective they have practically eradicated some of the worst diseases, from rabies to polio and smallpox—a fact that has possibly fooled some into believing that the viruses and their complications aren’t a significant threat for the average, health-conscious individual.

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

I never imagined in my lifetime that I would live to see such evil manifest itself, and certainly not here in the United States. This is not normal. This is not humane. The lack of humanity is STUNNING. The metaphor of that chain saw is not lost on anyone🤬 PURE EVIL!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our February Town Hall in St. Louis Park! And a special thank you to Representative Larry Kraft, St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed & City Councilmembers Sue Budd & Paul Baudhuin for joining me last night and for your partnership in serving our communities.

NEW: As Trump attempts to remake the federal government into an instrument of destruction, we must turn to state courts as a critical defense for our civil rights, health and safety, @keiththirion.bsky.social of @afj.org argues.

🏳️‍⚧️ The State of WA v Donald Trump 🏳️‍⚧️ Yesterday, CDC and other federal staff were notified of a temp restraining order that blocks the EO to freeze fed funds to institutions in WA, OR and MN providing gender affirming care.

Important Public Health Update Hi all, Please pay attention. I just spoke with CDC officials they say we should prepare for potential human cases of Bird Flu. 1/

It’s already a coup. Will the 90M nonvoters show up to restore our democracy? How many of his 70M will come to their gd senses? youtu.be/wOaUuEzq6bY?...

Guess which law enforcement agency is tasked with enforcing judicial rulings?

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Goodnight, America.
