Even MAGA can't keep up with Trump's lies.

Consider... tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of people are losing their government jobs. Jobs that may have taken up to a year to secure. They bought homes, cars, started families. No income now to make payments or feed babies. How does that help our economy?

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

Time to dump AARP. Did you know that between 2010-2017, they were paid four billion dollars in tax-exempt corporate royalties by UnitedHealth Group, the nation's largest health insurance company? commitmenttoseniors.org/aarp-says-it...

At the restaurant this morning, the local emergency management director was there. He's of course a salivating Trumper. I asked him what he thought about Trump wanting to get rid of FEMA. He says it's "misguided". I told him it was actually just stupid and it's okay for him to say Trump is stupid.

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

Some Russian guy claims that the Tangerine Tyrant was recruited as a spy by the KGB in 1987. They gave him the nickname: Krasnov, meaning "the red one". Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Let's start calling him Krasnov from now on... Krasnov.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Idiocracy was a documentary

This is really something

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Wise man…

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to cut taxes for billionaires like themselves—and pay for it by gutting Medicare and Medicaid. They don't care if families have to take on crushing debt to pay for care, as long as it makes them much, much richer."

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

They want 1939 Germany, Let’s give them 1789 France.

I cannot comprehend an attitude of "well we are just fucked". For one thing we are not and that is a ridiculous position at this point. Another, and the most important, is even if we were THERE IS NO SURRENDER. They have come for people and things I hold dear and now I am coming for them.

I have a #FridayFinish - keep strong 🇨🇦 My mum didn't get it, but that's ok. My #Art, and it's going to be a daily reminder to stay strong. #ArtShare #FishyFeb #FebruARTy #CrossStitch #StitchSky #CraftiVerse

Elon is destroying American jobs without proving anything. No fraud found. Can't prove that any waste has been saved (jobs usually add value, even in government) and the money not paid out in salaries will likely go to Elon related contracts. He's a wrecking ball, destroying livelihoods and people.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

My latest post has two parts - first an analysis of the aftermath of the Munich Security Conference and the European attempt to respond to Trump’s push for negotiations, and second a consideration of the impact of Trump’s recent attacks on Zelensky (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/e...?

From gutting critical services and freezing congressionally authorized funding, to firing hardworking federal employees, the 1st month of the 2nd Trump Administration has been filled with chaos & confusion. I’ll keep fighting to protect our communities from the madness. www.kcur.org/podcast/up-t...

Trump's KGB Codename: Krasnov

NEW — I wrote about Leland Dudek, a Social Security Administration (SSA) staffer who went from being on admin leave for aiding DOGE to acting head of the agency overnight. I talked to multiple SSA employees about how this prolific LinkedIn poster became Musk's poster boy for government allegiance:
