On the one side, I do not love being a Jew in a country now ruled by explicit Nazis. On the other hand, this is all amazing ad footage for the Dems in 2026.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

JD Vance is literally helping to break America so he and the vulture capitalists can sell off the pieces.

Schools are closed all over central Iowa. Why? Dangerous wind chills of 30 below. How do we know to keep our children safe? The National Weather Service, which Trump plans to destroy.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

"Elon Musk is the undisputed champion of making money for Elon Musk. As effectively the CEO of the United States of America? Very bad. Embarrassing, honestly..." www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

Paraphrasing a colleague jokingly told me, "maybe you can be less loud for a few years about issues to be safe". Let me tell you something, I lived that life in my childhood when people step by step lost their rights to be safe. Once day we opened our eyes and we were living a dictatorship.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

💯

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

Another day (not) at the office.

Last night, Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicaid. He just endorsed the House Republican budget that makes at least $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. They'll say or do anything to get more giveaways for their billionaire donors.

NEW: Two planes were involved in a fatal crash this morning at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona At least one person is confirmed dead in what the Marana Police Department is describing as an "aircraft collision." More details to come.

Footage from inside the Delta flight as people escape. 💔

NEW: Trump’s USDA admits it "accidentally" fired "several" agency employees working on the federal response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak—and is now scrambling to undo the damage.

It’s clear Musk does not understand how to read the data he’s accessing.

We should not be cutting health care for working families to deliver massive tax breaks for billionaires. Repost if you agree.

This is a great message. We all need to start looking out for one another. Shop for your neighbors if they don't feel comfortable going out and shopping for themselves. If you ever wondered what you'd be doing during the Weimar Republic days of early NAZI Germany. Your doing it right now.

Beautiful annual phlox from the summer. I sowed the first batch of this today. Best kept in the dark for good germination 🤞🌱

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

So many crocus out today enjoying a bit of late winter sun. 🌱🌿💚 #Gardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling

House Republicans are yielding to Trump's demands for trillions in new tax breaks for his billionaire buddies. Instead of fulfilling false promises to lower prices for families, the GOP budget “wreckonciliation” is an economic plan that cuts support Americans rely on but not grocery or drug prices.

Another Hellebore has begun to bloom, despite the gloom! #GardensHour 🌱

Another week, another Viola #GardensHour 🌱

@emc-maine.bsky.social @marymolitierbo.bsky.social A friend sent me this, this morning. We’ve been texting about current events like explorers of old. I highly recommend!

Scilla mischtschenkoana, I love how these things develop on the inside then just spring out of the ground already in full flower. #GardensHour #bloomscrolling 🌱 #blueskymonday

My little cacti, grown from seed, are doing well 🌱 #GardensHour

Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them. It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

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.

Trump posted 14 times about his Daytona 500 trip—but not once about the deadly flooding in multiple states.
