Huntington Beach taking their city back from MAGA #50501 #HandsOff #8647

Before you get too excited because there are some Republicans going after Hegseth, remember, this allows them to look “reasonable” and not have to attack Trump

Schiff: No, Mike Waltz, you’re the loser. And frankly, the country loses when we have an incompetent bozo like you as the national security advisor.

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

I'm with Al!

Trump Recession Timeline: 1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom! 2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing. 3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term. 4. This is Biden’s recession!

Harold Gonsalves threw himself on a grenade to save his fellow Marines during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. Now Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is erasing Gonsalves from military databases as part of his anti-diversity purge.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This is not normal.

I am looking at a chamber filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, and if you asked me to seriously estimate what percentage of them understand how deep in the s*** we are right now, I mean really truly understand how close America is to full collapse, I would put the number at between 10 and 20

Love it.

Dear maga, The global right, who used to admire Trump, has absolutely turned on him and now is openly saying he works for Russia. The right in Canada has dropped in the polls and now openly distances themselves from you. Same with Germany and UK You suck

"Jobs were also eliminated at the National Hurricane Center and Storm Prediction Center... and the tsunami warning centers in Alaska and Hawaii..." www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

Marian Kamensky

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

To add insult to insult. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

BREAKING: Judge in our Treasury case vs. DOGE just raised profound "concerns about constitutionality of DOGE"! She follows Judge Chutkan who also raised questions last week We @sddaction.bsky.social will be in Md. Fed. Ct. Friday in our appointments clause case to prove DOGE is unconstitutional

Nearly two dozen federal employees who had been working with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency resigned, stating that they wouldn’t aid in undermining essential services www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

🚨BREAKING: Ninth Circuit AFFIRMS lower court decision striking down Arizona voter suppression law H.B. 2492 which imposed unconstitutional and burdensome proof of citizenship requirements. A big victory for our clients and the voters of Arizona. A stinging defeat for the RNC.

The cruelty is the point.

Watch this space. I predict Trump/fElon will soon follow w an announcement promoting a shift to crypto backed USD, on the premise that there’s not enough gold to back the USD (even though we abandoned the gold standard in 1971)

Remarkable how Congress passed a law, the President signed it, the Supreme Court upheld it…and now everyone is simply pretending that all didn’t happen www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/t...

New: Tesla and SpaceX relied on work by undocumented immigrants while Elon Musk advocated for a border crackdown

“Today, America’s judges face a dilemma that has more commonly confronted their peers in other embattled democracies,” Andrew O'Donohue writes. “How to enforce their rulings against a president who is poised to challenge legal constraints on his power.”

NBC News: The Trump admin has started firing Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys — paving the way for deployment of Trump-aligned law enforcement officials. It’s unclear at this point how many U.S. attorneys have been fired. @msnbc.com

pro-USAID demonstrators are roughly escorted out of a House hearing

“The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, is stealing money from you to put in his pocket” has to be the easiest political argument ever www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

What kind of government bans words?

BREAKING: Judge Beryl Howell has ruled that the FBI will have to release documents related to Trump's mishandling of classified documents in a FOIA case brought by Jason Leopold. From Kyle Cheney: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

DEPT OF TOO MUCH NEWS: It appears the defendants in the Arizona 2020 election case — in which Donald Trump is an unindicted coconspirator — won a big ruling today. The details/sweep of the ruling are unclear. I'm told it was an oral decision from the new judge on the case.
