OK patriots, Trump is directing his presidential power against blue states in a way wildly out of keeping with what we expect of Presidents. And these days, that's pretty much all he's got. newrepublic.com/article/1970...

Ashley Babbit's family is poised to recieve 30 million dollars (from tax payers) thanks to the Dept of Justice... Mrs Sicknick just wanted a phone call and the people who assaulted her son Brian held accountable.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

SIGNAL GATE is a threat! The incompetence that many of us knew existed prior to the confirmation of these individuals is on full display for the WORLD & it’s weakening US, collectively. The fact that there is an obsession over wanting me silenced tells me that I need to speak out more. 🫶🏾

The truth is, children are far safer in a public bathroom with a transgender person than with a MAGA Evangelical—and it ain't even close. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-really-... #justineichorn

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

BREAKING: A federal judge blocks the Trump administration from ending $14 billion in climate grants.

hmmm?

Happy Saturday💋 Get it kid 🔥🔥 Best walk up ever ⚾️ #SheShed

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

1/2 Day 24 of the Coup keeps Churning.... immigrants and gitmo. We've heard the torture stories from POWs held there. I can't imagine they're treating immigrants much better. "holding them incommunicado, without access to attorneys, family, or the outside world." #SheShed

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

This seems important... newrepublic.com/article/1913...

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Trust me, bro.

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist. If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist. If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist. Hope that clears things up.

Here’s what we did today

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

NEW: More than 300 career employees at the EPA have left. Those who remain face a painful decision: resign or work for an administration that plans to radically reshape the EPA while reversing environmental protections. By @fastlerner.bsky.social & @pratheekrebala.bsky.social

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...
