You don’t say…

Apparently, spending $400 million on battery operated trash cans was not seen as government waste or fraud. www.yahoo.com/news/musk-sl...

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

If MAGA voters thought the price of eggs was high, just wait until they are buying tire rims and driving 100 miles for healthcare and paying school tuition after the public schools close. It is expensive to live under an oligarchy. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

The source code for the new Department for Government Efficiency’s “official US government website” points to X as its primary source of authority while sharing links to the site sends users to x.com.

Dr. Oz has a horrible record on reproductive rights. How can we trust him to oversee health care for millions of women? Senator Duckworth and I are sounding the alarm. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The funniest part is watching white Republican women discover they are also a DEI hire…

The DOGE website is just a feed of a few posts from Twitter. None proving any sort of fraud, whatsoever. What a joke.

“Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."

"If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief."

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

That part 👇🏻

BREAKING: We are suing Musk & DOGE for violating the constitution They have no right to your personal data & no authority to dismantle entire agencies We’re calling their bluff & taking them to court statedemocracydefenders.org/wp-content/u...

BREAKING:14 states sue to remove ⁦‪⁦‪Musk‬⁩ from our politics 🍾✅🇺🇸

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

The Lyin’ King. 👑

Mendacious man who promised not to cut Medicaid endorses plan to cut Medicaid. He needs an excuse to give more tax cuts to billionaires. His priorities are clear. Yet I still see MAGAs claiming they don't want to support Ukraine because we need the money for healthcare, as if that will happen.🙄

It’s no longer the House budget. It’s the Trump budget, now that Trump has endorsed it, and since the Administration hasn’t submitted its own budget. So we should call the House budget the Trump budget. And we can talk about Trump’s cuts to important programs and Trump’s broken campaign promises.

To those in red state Kentucky who voted for the orange felon, he has done literally everything but address your several days of dangerous flooding and has actually denied FEMA aid for other red states like Georgia. You chose cruelty and I hope he delivers what you wanted. FAFO.

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

AMERICA HAS NO KINGS.

Show of hands: Who wants the USA to support Ukraine in its effort to keep its rightful borders and defeat Putin and Trump’s land-grab?

Acosta: The reason they’re doing this to the AP is because the AP refused to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America—which is the dumbest thing. If you were to make a list of the dumbest things Donald Trump has done as president, renaming the Gulf of Mexico would have to be in the top five.

Psychopath.

They voted for the guy who said he would lower the price of eggs. Now we have no eggs.

Fact not fiction from Mr King!

Raise your hand 🖐️ and Repost if you still support President Zelenskyy and the brave people of Ukraine! 🇺🇦 I want all of my 168K friends to follow YOU! 💙 Like ❤️ and repost 🔄 and you will get MORE followers! 🚀 Who is with me? 🖐️

Has Donald Trump gone to meet with any of the families who lost loved ones in the largest aviation disaster in almost 16 years or nah? It's been 3 weeks. Can you imagine if Biden did nothing?

I so want to witness that! 🤣🤪😜😝😋

All of this is teeing up what some legal experts worry could be a constitutional crisis. Or, to put it simply: what happens when the Trump administration blatantly defies the courts? www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Michael McFaul is an American academic & diplomat who served as the US ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014. We need his voice right now on BlueSky, but his account is barely off the ground. Can we all please do what we can to boost his followers so he spends time HERE?! @mcfaulmike.bsky.social

It's a great question. Why are Republican members of Congress idly sitting by while their constituents lives get ruined? Their budget plan is a dismantling of our social safety net for average Americans. @repauchincloss.bsky.social brought the heat to NewsNation.

The context is that Trump is Putin’s bitch.

No surprise for a guy with more incarnations than a Hindu god, but JD Vance — once the media darling who tried to paulrevere about Trump’s Hitlerian potential — has become the concubine in a governing triumvirate that wants to jail U.S. reporters and free German neo-Nazis. the.ink/p/free-speec...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Couple of reminders for the day!! 1. We're in a hostile government takeover! A coup for those who like it short and sweet 2. If you're not following @jeffroushwriting.bsky.social You very much should be!!! He's fabulous in all the good ways. Have a safe Wednesday y'all!! #SheShed

The Washington Post's treatment of the Trump administration's anti-trans eliminationist language and policy here is appalling. What *is* that second paragraph, in particular, and for what other groups would the Post consider it acceptable to just describe as a "philosophy"?

Governor Kathy Hochul it’s long overdue to OUST the most corrupt and traitorous, Mayor Eric Adams!

Republicans had no problem confirming an anti-vaxxer for HHS or a man with credible sexual assault allegations to run the Pentagon—but a Labor Secretary who supported unions is a bridge too far? Take note, everyone who claims Republicans are the party that supports working folks.

All members of the press should unite to defend Associated Press - and by extension, America’s freedoms

"One casualty of the mass firings across federal health agencies are regulators who ensure drugs for pets and livestock are safe and effective." Not even our pets are safe anymore from this Trump Administration. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Trump: "In particular we have to thank Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for hosting these historic talks ... we're gonna get that war over with."
