Some interesting ideas as to how we got here. How a minority can control a majority podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

@danabrams1.bsky.social question- can the order from DOE be considered an attack on free speech? www.ed.gov/media/docume...

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

@dscc.bsky.social please stomp and boo Tuesday night. Act like you are at a boxing match.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social on Tuesday night you should boo and yell as much as possible. Thanks

American farm exports were worth $179 billion in 2022

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Rare earth or raw earth? I believe Trump kept calling it raw earth.

Watch the entire meeting. Everything went well until Vance spoke. After that the Mafia in chief came out. www.c-span.org/program/whit...

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia. It’s almost as if Trump is colluding with Putin. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @clairelehmann.bsky.social @claireberlinski.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

JD Vance is so staggeringly unqualified to be in this position. Just an absolute embarrassment. We are witnessing peak "I'm a white guy who read stuff on the internet so now I'm an expert on all things." Unreal.

Exclusive: “Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon…” www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Muskovite- why has no one used this to describe EM?

Bravi!!!

Something to think about when thinking about what Elons doing right now www.businessinsider.com/who-was-elon...

This week’s Goings On newsletter features a Father John Misty show, a humble “Henry IV,” the return of the Flamenco Festival, and more. See our recommendations on what to do in N.Y.C. and beyond.

Why is everyone so afraid to stand up to Trump? Anyone?

This is absolutely chilling. A glimpse of the totalitarian state to come.

#snl50 There is something so comforting to watching the show tonight. Thank you SNL

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Honest question: Why are our former #Presidents, Vps and their spouses, and all those #celebrities who took the stage for Harris so silent instead of heading with #courage our, the People's, #resistance and #protests? Where are they??? @hcrichardson.bsky.social @politicsgirl.bsky.social

A sick and poor population is easier to control. It’s hard to resist when you are hungry and sick.

Russia is so desperate that it is relying on Iranian weapons and North Korean troops, but according to the Trump admin they are too mighty for the greatest military force of all time.

Seems like we are in the Crusades and 100 years war.

I want to highlight what I believe is a significant document that I reviewed for this story. It's a memorandum of understanding between DOGE & CFPB. In all the coverage of DOGE's takeover of agencies I haven't read or heard about a document like this. I think this stands out 1/

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

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...

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.

I don’t begrudge people having a lot of $. I just don’t get how much is enough, why a Super Bowl ad costs 8 million, why they don’t want to pay their fair share to save us from the current torture politically by using $ to solve homeless crisis, drug addiction, etc., not putting people out of work.
