No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Trump fires General C.Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. So now you see who’s really taking your “Black job.” Happy Black History Month!

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Another career federal official has resigned after refusing to give DOGE access to sensitive data.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times. Does MAGA care to comment?

Shocker of all shockers: Pete Hegseth is in way over his head and embarrassed himself in his first trip overseas as the secretary of defense. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

As Trump flies around the country to sporting events at taxpayer expense, it's clear he wants to “play the role" of president without actually doing the job. And that’s a dangerous problem for America — and the world.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

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

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY. “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

INCOMPETENCE OF NUCLEAR PROPORTIONS Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile. Now, they are rushing to rescind their terminations.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged Google to reconsider its decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America' for US users, adding the country could file a civil suit against the firm if necessary reut.rs/4hR5Bnu

🚨 DONALD TRUMP’S STUPIDITY HAS KILLED SOMEONE: A 71 year old woman has died after being sent home from a USAID funded hospital. Pe Kha Lau, a refugee from Myanmar living in a displacement camp died four days after she was discharged from the healthcare facility.

I give this marriage another 6 months, tops

BREAKING - Democrats CRUSHING special elections Iowa state Senate - Democrat FLIPPED a Trump+21 seat by 4% Minnesota state Senate - Democrat outperformed by +20 points Westchester County NY Executive - Dem outperform +2 The anti-Trump anti-Musk backlash is RISING UP

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Wokest Superbowl ever. Gaga, NOLA culture, Trombone Shorty, Terrance Blanchard, … two Black quarterbacks and Kendrick Lamar, plus my line sister @ledisi.bsky.social singing the Black National Anthem. This is actually amazing and I love it ❤️

Who agrees Trump is WASTING tax payer money by going to the Super Bowl? 💙

One thing I want to emphasize in my New Republic piece is that even if USAID is resurrected, the damage has been done. Aid and development is a professional industry in which people and organizations have amassed technical know-how about what works and what doesn't newrepublic.com/article/1910...

We may be in the worst of times but it can bring out some of the best people. @telliotter.bsky.social a journalism has exposed these frauds,and I’m glad to have complemented her work with background on the tired playbook these bullies are running

Both myself and Humane Intelligence Chief or Staff @theodoraskeadas.bsky.social in this article (not coordinated!) apnews.com/article/elon...

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

This is important. “Disappearing” migrants is the stuff of nightmares and we must not forget them.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

NEW: Pam Bondi issued a flurry of memos as soon as she took charge of the Justice Department today—including the start of a probe into DEIA at companies and educational institutions, both public and private. It’s a First Amendment nightmare. With @jeremystahl.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...

So this is how this DOJ will operate. Actions and beliefs are deemed CRIMINAL if they are not in line with this Administration’s beliefs and platform.There is no criminal penalty for supporting or even continuing to apply DEIA principles.This is a muscle job. Corporations must stiffen their spines.

Dictator in Chief Musk has taken his coup of the federal government to another unhinged level by reportedly moving 1 of his infiltrators in to live in a government agency WITH HIS WIFE AND BABY! And ICYMI Elon is infiltrating air traffic controls next. #reeciecolbertshow youtube.com/shorts/XEiTp...

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !
