Of course a sect lead of prom king wannabes lead by a brain dead nazi see are draining the intellectual firmament of the government tasked wiht regulating his business interests.

Opinion | It takes a corrupt sex offender to fight a corrupt sex offender. That’s why Andrew Cuomo is the perfect New York mayor to take on Trump. by Chris Cuomo

Yep

Our only hope, and it's gossamer at this point, is to do everything we can to protect congressional/state elections to elect enough to Congress to restore a pro-democracy majority in both chambers. That will be on any of us who is able doing the tedious work of protecting the vote.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

I'm in ! Tell me how.

Flaccid keyboard warrior acquires lectern.

I can understand this mistake in 2016, but we already had a whole term of Trump fuckuppery. How on earth were people still thinking he’s some business genius who’ll make government better in 2024? How?

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

The ACLU has created a convenient form you can use to send messages demanding Congress check DOGE's rights violations, if you care to use it: action.aclu.org/send-message...

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked. via @jackdolan.bsky.social

Who wants to come with me so we can go stand by the mixing board with our arms folded and make jokes?

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

4️⃣8️⃣ days. Not a single vote to lower costs. House GOP leadership is playing politics with people’s lives. It’s time to listen to the American people and vote on legislation that makes life more affordable.

Hitler, who I do not support, never would have embraced genocide, which I also do not support, if the Weimar shitlibs hadn't tried so hard to deplatform him. by Glenn Greenwald

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: While the Trump Justice Department is telling a federal court that Elon Musk has nothing to do with DOGE, Republican members of Congress are telling their constituents that DOGE is “led by Elon Musk.” See below 👇

Lawyers at Twitter are reportedly threatening advertisers to spend more money on the platform “or else” Elon Musk will use his connections with Trump to hurt their companies.

Donald Trump firing ~7000 IRS workers will mean three things: 1) More tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations 2) More debt, since IRS agents collect a lot more than they cost 3) Fewer ways to go after big tax cheats A great day to be a billionaire in America.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

**Taps mic**

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Eleven-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza endured months of bullying about her family's immigration status at her Dallas-area school before she took her own life.

"[Musk] is trying to gut everything good in America for his own private profit. This is the culmination of what oligarchy is all about...the fusion and the capture of the billionaire class of our democracy." - @aoc.bsky.social with @fedworkersunited.bsky.social today #SaveOurServices

Every Democrat should be telling this story.

So much for Trump’s call not to weaponize the DOJ 🙄 It’s a blatant attempt to silence critics. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Firings are coming to the Pentagon, veterans continue be ruthlessly fired across the federal goverment, and Trump’s wicked and traitorous lies about Ukraine deepen. This is not who we are. All good Americans must do what we can now to hold the line for democracy and fight for truth.

The Teamsters deserve a leader who actually cares about working people. Not this obsequious soft serve butt boy

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

The Trump administration has told organizations that provide federally funded legal representation to unaccompanied migrant children to halt the service.

Lol

Gov. Kathy Hochul clapped back at Pres. Donald Trump after his administration moved to claw back the congestion pricing system Wednesday. During her press conference Hochul said New York “is not subservient to a king — or anyone else in Washington.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/19/c...

Hochul says she canceled a meeting with Trump after Pam Bondi said she was filing charges against her, saying she told the President, "What are you gonna do, slap goddamn handcuffs on me?"

I stopped by the Minnesota African American Heritage Museum and Gallery to visit their new exhibit for Black History Month, “The Black Vote.” This incredible exhibit explores Black Americans’ fight for their hard-earned right to vote in Minnesota.
