SUCH a good point

if Kamala won, President's Day during black history month right before women's History month would have hit different

It feels like the world is being taken over by supervillains whose origin story is losing their 4th grade spelling bee.

Elon had the FDA employees who were reviewing his brain implant company fired: www.yahoo.com/news/fda-sta...

I keep thinking about this. And this is really it. This is the whole thing in a nutshell. I'm not even gonna paraphrase it. Just read this. Study it like a Bible verse or a koan. Everything is right here.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

I did not bet on 'Hi and Lois' to cast the first stone...

"Our leaders have failed us, they no longer deserve our loyalty"

They won’t ever learn will they

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

NEW: Dozens of USAID employees sue Elon Musk and his faux-agency, DOGE, for an unconstitutional "government takeover." They allege DOGE’s actions violate the Appointment Clause and the separation of powers principles of the U.S. Constitution.

Remember how long time was, as a child? Now rewind further, and consider the endlessness of the womb. Your life is a speck compared to that subjective infinity; the unborn are as gods, and we pass in their eye-blinks

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

“Hey, Nat? It’s your cousin, Marvin! Marvin Rifle Association! You know that tyranny you’ve been arming against? Well, listen to THIS!”

The men who love bragging about their manliness also only victimize those with less power than them, especially women and children. They frame it, of course, as if they are protecting the vulnerable. Because they’re terrified of having consequences for their behavior, they need to lie about it.

Some folks sure are keen on renaming things while also being against people changing their names.

I am old enough to remember when $TSLA bulls claimed that Tesla was years ahead in EV batteries (while ignoring that all the EV cells came from Panasonic anyway): “Hyundai is launching its all-solid-state ‘Dream’ EV battery pilot line next month” $TSLAQ electrek.co/2025/02/10/h...

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

A street artist in DC is putting up these posters all over the city. I’d love to get one.

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?

REQUIRED READING. This article by @janus.bsky.social articulates so much of what I’ve been thinking and feeling lately. “Resistance Twitter” doesn’t work. If it did, we wouldn’t be back here. www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

As soon as I get to work, I'm like, "Alright, only 7 hours and 59 minutes to go."

Welcome to the family.

As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that. China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don’t see it you don’t understand how the world works. Period

Incredible to see a president tanking the world’s economy simply because he doesn’t understand it and is too dedicated to belligerent posturing to learn

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
