NPR has identified nearly 40 small, independent entities – both inside and outside the federal government's control – that a team of young DOGE staffers has tried to access in recent weeks.

Soooo, three people, albeit three good journalists, had to be found to replace the ONE magnificent @joyannreid.bsky.social ?

Senator Van Hollen cannot be any more clear as to what this is all about. It’s about the rule of law. Period. Not the whims of an authoritarian or our feelings toward any individual. If you allow it to be dismissed for even one person. Any person. You risk suffering the same fate.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

There are a million horrible things happening all at once, but wanted to take a moment to focus on the exec order against Perkins Coie and how it's an attempt to make it difficult for anyone to use the legal process to challenge all this law breaking. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/11/t...

Rupert Murdoch had to pay Dominion $787.5 million for knowingly broadcasting falsehoods. Given that, what qualifies a Fox anchor to talk about trust in the media?

Happy International Women's Day! An empowered woman is a force of nature - she inspires, she leads, and she changes the world #InternationalWomensDay #Accelerate #Action

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

We need more Rep. Green’s and less hesitant pussy footing. Stand up and stand with! #fightfirewithfire

That about describes it, yes.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Rep. Melanie Stansbury 🏆

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

@joyannreid.bsky.social is my favorite on MSNBC.

Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.

"Trump’s first actions included demolishing an air travel security group, forcing out the head of the FAA for corrupt reasons, implementing a hiring freeze for air traffic controllers, and sending blanket resignation offers to the remaining FAA employees. Then tragedy struck."

Trump before the election: “I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day 1” Trump after the election: “It's hard to bring [grocery prices] down” In office, he’s focused instead on trying to end birthright citizenship, pardoning Jan. 6 attackers, & renaming a mountain.

Do you get this?

Caroline Kennedy wrote a letter that urges senators to reject her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination for health secretary, calling him a “predator” who is addicted to the attention he gets from airing dangerous views on vaccinations.

It's almost as if these J6ers Trump loves so much are just a bunch of criminals.

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

Gotta love the British press.

An ex-sister-in-law submits sworn statement to senators accusing Hegseth of being so “abusive” toward his second wife that she once hid in a closet from him and had a safe word to call for help if she needed to get away from him. @karoun.bsky.social @Sharon LaFraniere www.nytimes.com/2025/01/21/u...
