Ohh

This has distinct echoes of media coverage of Bush in 2002-2003, when lots of journos conspired to pretend that the stuff Bush was saying was based in real things, even though any 5 year old could see that there wasn't a shred of legitimacy to any of it

Trump’s attack on Maine Governor Janet Mills now looks like it was a dress rehearsal for the ambush of Zelenskyy at the White House

Zelensky to meet King Charles tomorrow www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has the right advice for Democrats, and everyone, to stand up to Trump. Gift article below. Please read it…https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/magazine/maura-healey-interview.html?unlocked_article_code=1.0k4.IaZQ.H7Q0PCZk18Cj

The Donald Trump and JD Vance rehersals to ambush Volodymyr Zelenskyy must have been The Apprentice Season 1 level…

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

INBOX: Mass. Gov. Maura Healey joins 13 other Democratic governors on a statement supporting Ukraine RI Gov. Dan McKee not a signatory but unclear why

Trump is dismantling the United Stated of America before everyone’s eyes. It is undeniable. It is all to help Putin and Russia. All of it.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

And who’s going to tell Elon Musk to dress better in the Oval Office JD Vance? You?

The look on Zelenskyy’s face when Trump says “they respect me” is *chef’s kiss*🤌

Donald Trump and JD Vance did you translate your talking points about Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the original Russian?

“I didn’t sleep and I want to pack my desk today,” one said. "Does it matter that he supported the Oathkeepers?" a retired agent said. "We now have two conspiracy theorists and election deniers running our premier law enforcement and intelligence agency," a former official said.

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

One of the many things that pisses me off about Bezos is that the Post is doing its own amazing work on this story and he picked THIS moment to undermine it.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

Let's organize a flood of op-eds arguing for personal reproductive liberty, so we can demonstrate the charade Bezos is engaged in ASAP.

This is evil. Pure evil.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Donald Trump is lying again about how much US has funded Ukraine, Europe has funded Ukraine and getting the money back. Fact: US funded $183 M half of Trump’s claim, Europe has funded 60% of the war not $100 M and no one gets money funding the war back unless it is a loan.

Elon Musk standing throughout the cabinet meeting presentation using the two hand power gesture just for good measure…

Fiasco for Elon Musk on multiple fronts: *Top Trump officials telling employees to defy his latest diktat *GOPers facing wave of voter revolt at home *Embarrassing revelations of fake "savings" mounting *Large majorities disapprove of Musk in many polls *Trump's own pollster urging GOP reset

I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

😕

Trump lost Maine in the 2024 election to Kamala Harris by almost 7 points…not even close for all his bluster and he is going to lose his demand of Maine Governor Janet Mills too…

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

I keep thinking about Trump saying that he needed the kind of generals that Hitler had.

My money is on Governor Janet Mills every day and twice on Sunday…

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Meanwhile, “Russia believes it is in conflict with what it calls ‘the collective West,’ and is acting accordingly, up to and including threatening us with nuclear attack and building up its military” from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Update: letter obtained by CNN: Cheung to Martin “Because I believed that I lacked the legal authority to issue such a letter, I told you that I would not do so. You then asked for my resignation,” she wrote, noting the oath of office she took and an obligation to follow legal ethics and the law.”

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

scoop from Lisa Lerer, Reid Epstein and Teddy Schleifer: Aides to George Soros and his allies met this week in Washington to discuss the future of progressive media and plot potential investments www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/u...

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Musk is working on replacing contract workers in the Department of Education with AI chatbots, aiming to use generative AI to handle student and parent inquiries.
