People of freedom around the world . . . Please don’t mistake the arrogance, hubris, carelessness and self-dealing of the United States government as the wishes of the majority of Americans. Do what you must to ensure freedom and democracy. Never forget you have millions of allies in America.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Since Donald Trump is signing boatloads of executive orders of dubious legal standing . . . Wonder if he could require McDonalds to use the oil they utilized to make their french fries back in the 1970s?

My Senators, Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley, requested a more engaged federal response to the bird flu outbreak. I credit them for taking that action. But . . . why then vote to confirm RFK, Jr? You can’t just support public health for concerns that strike close to home. It’s for everyone.

Dear @politico.com your ethics have gradually eroded but this is utterly untenable Your White House "Bureau Chief" Dasha Burns cannot be MC'ing an event at the CPAC Fascist Fest. Cannot. Disqualifying. She's done. You're done. Apologize and atone (H/t @atrupar.com)

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The GOP has long insisted government is a bad thing. Trump is in the process of proving that all wrong. As DOGE makes careless financial cuts and fires talented workers . . The negative impact will show that legacy government, in fact, has been good and serves citizens well. Just watch.

The confirmations of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel pretty much guarantee that our long-time allies won’t share intelligence information with us. Donald Trump and the GOP Senate majority made us less safe tonight and all the nights to follow.

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.” It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide. It’s perfectly fine as it is. Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

Boo away, Canadians. Don't blame you. Grew up in Michigan & went to Windsor often. Spent a couple months in Toronto on a job, have vacationed in Vancouver. Always loved Canada & the Canadian people. It appalls me Cheetos Mussolini is treating the best neighbors a country could ask for so poorly.

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

It blows my mind that Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird casts herself as the savior trying to protect “critical classroom accommodations for kids.” She’s suing to make Section 504 unenforceable in every context. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/02/16/b...

New post: This week, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird & her staff lied repeatedly about a federal lawsuit Iowa joined, which could blow up Section 504 protections for people with disabilities.
