Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Tastes like hypocrisy www.politico.com/live-updates...

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Math is hard

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Sorry but this is plainly a lie as anyone with eyes to see can tell. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

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

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

A point to consider.

jamelle is correct

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

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.

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

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy. In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

Trump cut 1,000 jobs at the VA for disabled veterans, military spouses, and medical researchers. This means longer wait times and less care for our veterans. Absurd. Completely abandons those who’ve served our nation.

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Trump’s economic policies have turned into an egg war at Costco. Consumer sentiment has dropped. Congressional Republicans and Trump are not doing anything about it.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

The Trump Administration has engaged in a number of brazenly undemocratic and illegal actions, and they are losing in court. Nothing the President is doing is trying to lower costs for the American people.

NEW: I'm heading to the Senate floor where I'm going to lead Democrats in holding the floor ahead of RFK Jr.'s confirmation vote. This is the most dangerous and unqualified nominee for HHS I've seen in my lifetime and I'm not giving up without a fight.

Trump and Apple better tell the UK to go to hell with its demand to access Americans’ private, encrypted texts and files. Trump and American tech companies letting foreign governments secretly spy on Americans would be an unmitigated privacy and national security disaster.

NEW: 22 states and DC urge Judge McConnell to enforce his TRO against Trump's funding freeze: "There is no world in which these scattershot outages, which as of this writing impact billions of dollars in federal funding across the Plaintiff States, can constitute compliance with this Court’s Order"

someone tell ernst that neither the president nor musk embodies the american people and that if they want to cut funding they should work with congress to pass a bill www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

It’s past time for Treasury to come clean on Musk’s takeover. People's Social Security, Medicare, and their most sensitive personal data is at risk. I'm not going to stop until I get answers.

The answer is yes www.vanityfair.com/news/story/i...

Marko Elez's reported resignation has interesting implications for Musk/DOGE control over Treasury payment data. Elez was one of only two DOGE affiliates permitted by court order to access the data, and DOJ claimed that the other (Tom Krause) had only supervised Elez's work.

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Good messaging

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.
