Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

INBOX: “The New York City Law Department today announced its federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s unlawful seizure of over $80 million previously applied for, awarded, approved, and paid by [FEMA] to the City of New York.” www.nyc.gov/office-of-th...

"We are in a severe constitutional crisis." @tribelaw.bsky.social talks about Trump administration's actions against the rule of law.

Good to see the power of the people is still alive. We the people govern ourselves in a democracy.

Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer are filming Robin Hood down the road. They’ve filmed Game of Thrones, Dungeons and Dragons, The Northman here too. I’d go out for drive to try and spot one of them but nothing will compare to once driving by our local Spar and seeing Peter Dinklage pushing a pram.

"Hundreds, if not thousands of people" have gathered in London to voice their support for Ukraine. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #UKprotests #StandWithUkraine

Even the @wsj agrees DOGE claimed savings are not true. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

The founding fathers added several relief valves to the constitution in case an out of control President and federal threatened it. Impeachment being one of those. Congress’ refusal to use it will be like sealing shut the relief valve on a boiler. Caboom is the result. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

KANSAS: Rep. Tracey Mann is the latest to hear about how Republicans are abdicating their responsibilities at a town hall. (Tennessee folks — town halls are where elected officials show up and you can ask them questions in person. Other states have those, believe it or not)

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Here come the “town hall no-show’s”. #Wisconsin wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

More subtle outcomes of litigation. Courts have not just blocked DOGE and other actions, but also forced Gov to produce answers and commitments. Friday night's Treasury decision requires: Gov certifying what is the security clearance process for DOGE team; revealing authorizations for DOGE; more⬇️

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Please proceed to the cashier’s window to collect your winnings. Thank you and congratulations on your successful wager

New — All Department of Defense agencies were sent a video of an agitated Pete Hegseth debunking supposedly fake media stories. Today at least one agency called an “emergency” town hall and forced employees to watch the propaganda. www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Extortion, pure and simple.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Elon Musk should never have been allowed to develop the power of deciding what country wins war and what country does not.

Donald Trump is melting down because his approval rating is tanking. 🍿

I’m asking Congress to provide disaster funding to help Californians recover and rebuild from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. It’s all-hands-on-deck to support our fellow Americans and get them back on their feet to begin rebuilding as soon as possible.

It is happening, yay!! Minister Anita Anand informed the provinces Friday that Ottawa will remove more than half of federal internal trade barriers in a move to make Canada less reliant on the US, according to a senior federal government source. #Canada #cdnpoli 🍁 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I thought crypto was supposed to be soooo secure. 🤔 techcrunch.com/2025/02/21/c...
