It doesn't sound like you want to mess with Michelle.

Today’s Oaxaca, Mexico wall art. The world understands.

“The 5 bullets email was the administration’s declaration of psychological warfare: Petty on its face and lacking sufficient instructions, its one and only purpose was to scare the shit out of workers already living in peril.”

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

Something’s happening out here, folks. And not just in blue states.

President Trump is wrongfully firing Minnesotans serving the American public, from the Park Service to the VA. These reckless cuts don’t just impact our neighbors who've been laid off — they impact critical services for all of us.

American generals say that the Russia/Ukraine war began when Russia invaded Ukraine. But on this Mar-a-Lago toilet, they aren’t so sure.

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

These people who think someone would upend their entire lives to fake their gender and become the most targeted minority in the country just to compete at sports, generally at the lowest possible levels, need to be watched. They've got some cartoon crimes in mind.

Elon Musk is doing exactly what Americans elected him to do.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Recent punitive actions against ret. Gen. Mark Milley & Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan undermine civil-military relations and directly threaten the military’s apolitical integrity, write 5 frmr service secretaries and flag officers.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

A week ago, I sued Trump over his unconstitutional executive order attacking gender-affirming care. A court just issued an order blocking that executive order in Minnesota for the next two weeks. On 2/28, we'll be back in court to ask for an indefinite halt to this cruel bullying of our children.

Creating places to help treat opioid addictions seems good. Disrupting mental health meds sounds awful. If he cares about efficacy, I’ve got news for him about the homeopathy industry. If he cares about high drug costs, 👀 @dndi.org, @imakglobal.bsky.social, MSF Access & @jamielove.bsky.social

Elon Musk spent $300 million to get Trump elected—so he could *checks notes* fire middle-class Americans who make sure Veterans get healthcare. Because nothing says "populist revolution" like mass layoffs for the people actually serving those who served.

Instant Pot 15/16 Bean Soup with Ham. Made a ton, but that's all good. 🍽️

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Key history as Trump attempts to abolish the Department of Education: Andrew Johnson established the first Education Department in 1867 but faced backlash from white southerners who saw it as an effort to educate formerly enslaved children. Read more: www.mississippifreepress.org/what-trumps-...

this is a deeply crooked AG. But let's be clear they didn't "file charges" as normally understood. this is just a lawsuit.

“Hey, Fox and Friends… I ain’t your fren…. Keep my name out of your filthy mouths…”

It's tempting to think that simpler letterforms = more legibility. But in my experience, that's not true. Typefaces are design systems too, and they need a certain level of complexity to work well. Here's why: (thread) 🧵

On those new Trump tariffs: I don't think people realize how narrow they are. They're ugly and stupid, but also arguably an attempt to save face after he lost his nerve on broad tariffs

Donald Trump has named himself Chairman of the Kennedy Center and will have final say on what shows appear on its theater stages. Expect Lauren Boebert to lend a hand.
