NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

What the Trump administration wants to do by creating these camps is monstrous enough. But a key thing I found when writing a book on concentration camp history is that when you establish this kind of detention, it tends over time to devolve into much worse kinds of camps.

Andrea Pitzer helps me a lot šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ«” Her YouTube account youtube.com/@degeneratea... "Degenerate Art" was term used by NAZIs to describe art that didn't fit their vision But Andrea talks about what's happening now, with historical context from other countries Truly excellent

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

That guy is Executive Director, Naval Sea Systems Command. He's basically the guy in charge of making sure the boats are good boats. And he has to send a frantic email out telling everybody to treat DOGE like a phishing attack.

Given that Elon was implying that how employees handled this email could be grounds for dismissal, it seems like heā€™s trying to do an end-run around individualā€™s Weingarten rights www.ueunion.org/stwd_wei.html

imagine dropping a hundred large on something literally glued together

Have y'all heard of the Project 2025 Heat Map that outlines how 1/3 of the goals have already been achieved? Check out this site and follow: www.project2025.observer Call your representatives and ask them if they are aware of this site and how much of their plans have been implemented.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

Gabrielle Blairā€™s God and Guns thread is a priceless classic!

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Bannon: "The J6 choir is gonna play the Kennedy Center!"

Huge thanks to @scishow.bsky.social for warning all the new folks out there dealing with early M.E. as a result of Covid: ***Exercise makes ME/CFS worse.*** Big props to @diatoma.bsky.social for proposing this topic! REALLY wish I had seen this a decade ago šŸ˜­ youtu.be/wxSwYUennBA?...

Itā€™s past time we stop pretending this man has any intention of leaving office again other than feet first. (I say this as someone who was warning as early as 2018 that he would never participate in a peaceful transfer of power.)

Russia Turns To Logistics Donkeys Amidst Vehicle Shortage Woes: If you're wondering why the Russians are so anxious to secure a "peace" deal with Trump (one that excludes Ukraine's input), a big part of it is they're just running out of stuff. According to one estimate, Russia has lost over 67,665ā€¦

The Center for Renewing Americaā€”founded by Trumpā€™s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025ā€”has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to ā€œeliminateā€ Obamacareā€™s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ www.cbpp.org/research/hea...

NEW: Two weeks ago gov't IT experts warned us that the worst case scenario would be if DOGE got full admin access to agency systems. We can report at at least one agency DOGE has unfettered "god mode" access. Our latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I mean Iā€™d at least try to look like I wasnā€™t a Russian in an Edgar suit

I don't think I've ever had that happen with a FOIA request! www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

BREAKING: Denise Cheung, head of the criminal division in the D.C. U.S. Attorneyā€™s Office, resigned after refusing a Justice Department order to freeze $20 billion in climate funds. In her resignation letter, she revealed that Trump officials had pressured her to launch a baseless criminal probe

Remember the 1980's when Corporate Raiders would buy companies and dismantle them, selling off the assets, destroying jobs, and reaping the profits? That's what is happening now to our government. Beautiful piece by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social The Miners open.substack.com/pub/sarahken...

Everyone read this book; itā€™s unspeakably poignant & relevant & imperative:

I'm reposting this. Now that my predictions have come true, folks may read these articles in a different light. Hopefully a clearer light. To fight the future, you need to grasp the past: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

Where are the news outlets shouting from the rooftops? ā€œMainstream media is having as much trouble covering Trumpā€™s firehouse of chaos as it did covering his campaign.ā€ @sulliview.bsky.social Read on below.

the orange menace placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Musk a current and a former US official said Members of Muskā€™s DOGE, eventually did gain access to the aid agencyā€™s classified information

Learning from folks who understand Treasury that the dept merely cuts checks from payment request sent by other agencies. (I.e. they are accounts payable) If he was really trying to find budget items to ā€œslash,ā€ heā€™d be examining requests created by individual agencies, not checks cut by Treasury 1/

Ouch. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just called Trump's new trade war "The Dumbest Trade War in History"
