White Lotus first episode of new season. who needs this now? Abhorrent rich people!

“When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal” — Richard Nixon, 1977 “He who saves his country does not violate any law” — Donald Trump, 2025

And on FOX NEWS, no less.

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

US Attorney Danielle Sassoon’s single voice of principled protest should become a chorus loud enough to drown out the weasel-like treachery of Emil Bove on behalf of Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s co-presidency. Everyone needs to read her eloquent words: big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files...

I don't know how to be more clear. Stop listening to people who are telling us to "pick our battles." This is the fucking battle. It's here now. Each one of these acts is an attack in that battle. Either get in the fight or get the fuck out of our way.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

“The purge orders of the Justice Department are so patently unlawful that the acting F.B.I. Director Brian Driscoll, as well as the acting deputy director and other senior F.B.I. officials across the country, outright resisted.” www.justsecurity.org/107507/senat...

Sen. Warner on DOGE's "buyout" offers: "Every scam artist is the same. 'Take this offer right now, it expires at midnight!' How many times do we see that?"

As some recent posts have noted my need to keep informed makes it hard to stay sane. The T issues EO to ban trans athletes, which NCAA estimates total@ 10(not even 10%)! Pure fodder for his bigot MAGA followers!

Experts question whether Edward Coristine, a teenage DOGE staffer who has gone by “Big Balls” online, would pass the background check typically required for access to sensitive US government systems.

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"

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...

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

Sorry... why are we still referring to Cassidy as a doctor? Surely he lost that honorific today? After knowingly aiding and abetting a man whose anti-science quackery killed Samoan kids and will kill more in the years ahead? How is anything Cassidy did today acceptable under the Hippocratic Oath?

Are we just going to ignore this??

Listen closely to Lawrence O’Donnell’s account of the astonishing break-in Trump’s Treasury Secretary has allowed Elon Musk to pull off: youtu.be/BIOaxR_UHIQ?...

Cassidy—a doctor—has violated his Oath and is a yes on Kennedy. Kennedy is now almost certain to be confirmed. People will die because of this; Kennedy at DHHS will cause deaths, full stop. The crazy thing is, no one even doubts it. But also no one cares, so here we are.

The start of week three:

Listen to @briantylercohen.bsky.social: Where you get your news is in part a statement of what you value. Support fearless independent media that will not back down. That will never obey. Sign up for Democracy Docket for free. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

You know, it just may be—I know it’s hard to believe, but please, hear me out—that our felonious president and premier digital rapist may be an gullible, easily manipulated dumbass.

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Susan Collins, too

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

The media is failing abjectly in how it is framing what this administration is doing.

“The meaning behind Trump’s words was clear, that diversity equals incompetence. And for many historians, civil rights leaders, scholars and citizens, it was an unmistakable message of racism in plain sight at the highest levels of American government.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Government officials and leaders: Be like James Dennehy.

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days. The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Just saying.

Malliotakis: We try to get to the bottom of where this money is going, $50 million for condoms in Gaza, for example. These are real things! Phillip: We know that there was not $50 million spent for condoms in Gaza. There was $0 spent on condoms in the Middle East. That is a complete lie

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Jasmine Crockett is a national treasure and one helluva powerful woman. Watch this. 🔥

Kash Patel should never work at the FBI, even as an intern. Demand your Senators oppose him right now:

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

This is the kind of action I’ve been looking for!

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT!! Stop them all. Freeze the Senate! Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz has announced he will put a blanket hold on all Trump diplomatic nominees. Go @brianschatz.bsky.social!

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy.” -- James E. Dennehy, NYC’s top FBI agent. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...
