I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

I wonder what would happen if @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov asked GAO to investigate whether DOGE's "receipts" claiming savings amounts to fraud. Honestly, it's the only fraud found so far. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

There you have it folks. House Republicans are dead set on making severe cuts to federal programs that support struggling Americans so they can cut taxes for their deep-pocketed donors and billionaire buddies.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Mike Luckovich KASH PATEL WILL BE CONFIRMED TODAY TO HEAD FBI

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Dark Pence is back.

'Alarming': This popular program could become 'politically radioactive' for Trump: During his 2024 campaign, Donald Trump insisted that cuts to Social Security and Medicare would not be on the table if he won the election. Trump didn't have as much to say about Medicaid on the campaign trail, but…

"Just one more thing. You say you're the law and order president, yet you released 1,500 rioters. You claim to support the police, but many of those rioters attacked them. Now you're firing FBI agents and prosecutors. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're a criminal."

It seems they haven’t learned from their recent nuclear safety debacle…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s overseas trip started with heckling from military families. That turned out to be one the best moments of his excursion.

Following Trump’s unitary executive EO, USAID’s Pete Marocco filed declaration asserting that actually federal judges TROs don’t apply to him—sorry Congress & the Constitution, but Trump is law & he won’t resume payment of contracts. Article 3 judges, you ready to enforce? bsky.app/profile/beth...

🚨 With Musk's DOGE pushing for IRS data access, our personal & financial info is at risk. Protect yourself with this guide on securing your tax records, digital security & legal rights. Stay informed

The best quicky summary of an increasingly chaotic coup.

We are in a full blown oligarchy being headed by a South African with questionable citizenship.

MEASLES NEWS AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF There is an outbreak in West Texas that is rapidly spreading. Get a MMR vaccine to PROTECT YOURSELF! Even if you had one as a kid, as an adult the protection has worn off. We need one again. That’s what I did.

Joe Gebbia of Airbnb is said to join DOGE. Next, DOGE is targeting the SEC, with concerns that Elon's access to sensitive data could threaten market integrity, given his history with the agency, despite claims that he is not directly involved. #ProudBlue www.newsweek.com/airbnb-joe-g...

🚨AP: “Acting Commissioner Michelle King's departure after more than 30 years of service was initiated after King refused to provide DOGE staffers at the Social Security Administration with access to sensitive info…” Alarmed yet? www.yahoo.com/news/social-...

Exactly 😡

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 So we don’t have to pay taxes because the system has been.breached!

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

A judge has ordered Trump to lift a funding freeze that has shut down US aid and development work around the world, and he has set a 5-day deadline to prove it’s complying. Trump is going to ignore the courts, the the true constitutional crisis will be realized. apnews.com/article/usai...

I cant stop thinking about January 19, 2025 when trump said: “And he knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good, pretty good. So thank you to Elon.”

Greta Thunberg doesn't have my SSN and banking information

DAMN.

My god

Our party needs to match the energy and anger on the ground from the American public. No collaboration. No votes for Trump nominees. No working with Elon Musk. We need to fight every time.

The Army and Navy just deleted web pages honoring women’s military service—falling in line with Trump’s DEI purge. This isn’t about readiness. It’s about erasing the contributions of women who served and sacrificed for this country. Shameful. READ MORE: www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Wow.

Dear MAGA, Seriously, fuck off 🖕🏻 #SheShed

The complete failure of Republicans in Congress to exercise their power as a check on the executive branch is national disgrace. But the courts are doing their job and may yet protect democracy from Trump.

Wow this kid 👀

We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

'Maybe they should start there?' Ex-prosecutor turns tables on Trump and Elon Musk: President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, are ignoring the obvious as they attempt to gut federal research funding, an ex-prosecutor said Wednesday. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance…

🔥🔥🔥🔥 I made this just for you @bluesky in a New York minute (although I wish you’d lengthen that) @riseandresist.bsky.social protest at a Manhattan Tesla showroom. YOU CAN DO THIS! Some of us were 80! #GetMuskOutOfTheWhiteHouse

💯

An Associated Press reporter was was blocked from an Oval Office event today because the publication "did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America."

Okay, now... dis 👇🏼 is getting so good. Someone has this on the back of his vehicle.

"Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office." www.ap.org/the-definiti...
