In “mixed company” last night, a Republican who voted for Trump both times, commented, “Elon Musk swept in, bought himself an election, and did a nazi salute to honor it. I’d say we’re all basically fucked.” Yup … and so the story goes …

Very interesting interview. Britain has always had smart spies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FocQ...

In his new role as a bureau reporter, Amos will cover a range of topics that matter to the Choctaw and the broader East Central Mississippi community, with a focus on cultural heritage, community events and significant local developments. https://buff.ly/3D0gmVU

$40 million to DOGE as they slash people’s livelihoods and lifelines in the name of “efficiency.”

The way Donald would have "prevented this war from even happening if he were President" would be to give me everything I demanded in exchange for nothing.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

"We don't work for DOGE. We have always worked for you." Yes!

This POS and Bondi fired so many people at the FBI/DoJ that they've crippled our effectiveness to do anything he is claiming. Lies. Lies. Lies.

Being a fucking idiot has consequences. Unfortunately, they’re for everybody.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Well explained, as always. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I know it’s on Xitter, but it’s a great summary of the mess Musk is making. x.com/electricfutu...

This is brilliant, as usual, Mike Lukovich! Banned on Xitter.

A Marion County #Florida student urges her school board to advocate against state laws limiting student access to books and websites. "“I believe that you’re depriving students of being able to think for themselves and see things as multi-spectral in a way" 1/2 www.ocala-news.com/2025/02/12/o...

PSS should be ashamed of himself for this. What the hell is he doing??? www.status.news/p/patrick-so...

Ignorance is strongly, deeply apart of this administration. But not caring about the laws, bigger part.

Who among them voted for Trump?

Because there is so, so very much going on these days, it's good to have someone like Heather Cox Richardson sum it up and deliver it to us in her newsletter each morning. Here's what happened yesterday...

I am not saying anything anyone hasn't said before, but it really is something to take the worst white man out of every group of 1000 people, put them together, and let them destroy the country

The billionaire we all need.

Ok now, Army brass. Keep it up.

"We are seeing an administration that treats the law as the opening offer in a hardball negotiation, while ignoring the actual body that makes laws: Congress...The Trump administration is engaged in a massive spree of legally dubious executive actions." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-laws...

New in PN: Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship "The arguments being made by the administration boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance appears to literally be that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him."

Red states have 'most to lose' from Trump policy that's already 'causing pain': NYT: President Donald Trump has lost no time in freezing and dismantling clean energy programs undertaken by former President Joe Biden's administration — but the areas with the "most to lose" from this policy appear to…

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

The perfect way to show the Dems that working with this crud is not possible.
