🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

COLLINS: You are a coequal branch of government BERNIE SANDERS: Are we?! I kinda thought so, but you'll have to explain that to the president

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

This exchange between @rokhanna.bsky.social & @jdvanceoffical.bsky.social raises a number of questions including: why does someone the vice president of the United States seems to label a “racist troll on the Internet” and a “kid” have access to the sensitive personal data of millions of Americans?

Congress has long criminalized conflicts of interest but, under Trump, the guardrails of accountability have crumbled—granting Musk unchecked access to federal power. Gov't ethics expert Kathleen Clark discusses the risks of this oversight failure.

Sorry to say, but it's time for this week's #BluesNews.

An unelected broligarch and his merry band of unripened incels have hacked our bank accounts, Bird flu is raging, TB is is spreading, planes are falling out of the sky, Trump’s planning Gaz-a-Largo and eggs are more expensive than ever, but at least we’re getting plastic straws back.

It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests! Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding. House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Listen to me y’all: Always fit a protein into your depression meals. ALWAYS Plant-based, animal, idc. Your brain NEEDS protein to deal with what you are dealing with If you are dealing with triggers & traumas, put a protein in all your meals to reduce the cortisol (stress hormone) in your body

The Chinese chatbot took the world by storm and rattled stock markets. But lost in all the attention was a focus on how the company is collecting and storing data. By @bobbyallyn.bsky.social

What I should have done in the beginning - here's a starter pack of 20-odd experts who journalists or others might want to read/talk to to understand the gutting of the administrative state (as opposed to broad decline of democracy etc). I've focused on academics go.bsky.app/MaC7vnv

‘Focus is power’: @chrislhayes.bsky.social on covering Trump in the age of ‘the attention economy’ Watch now:

President Trump's first weeks in office included executive orders that aim to stop or roll back former President Biden's ambitious climate agenda and redirect the country's attention to fossil fuels.

This is how a dictator acts.   Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away.   REMINDER—the U.S. affords weaker due process/legal rights for people detained there.

JUST IN: Meta agreed to pay President Trump $25 million to settle a 2021 federal lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations after his suspension from Facebook and Instagram in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack.

January 6th insurrectionists granted clemency by Donald Trump have been re-arrested, investigated, and shot by police. NBC justice reporter Ryan Reilly, author of “Sedition Hunters: How January 6th Broke The Justice System," joins Joy Reid with more.

"Post it on your social media." Thank you, Mr. Acosta.

Yes, it can happen again. 👀

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
