Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory... - Nuts!!

He takes jobs from thousands of Federal workers but this one time 5k check is supposed to make them feel better? How out of touch!!

#WhiteHousePressConference #Miller the people who were fired unjustifiably don’t want a $2k check!! They want their JOBS BACK!!!!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Murphy: "Let's be clear about why he wants these mineral rights. This is just about the billionaires that he serves that can make a ton of money in Ukraine if they are taking those minerals out of the ground and selling them globally for a profit. It's consistent with the way that Trump operates."

It is never enough …

When you have a “concept of a plan” there are consequences!

A piece about today’s negotiations, but also very much a piece about how hard Ukraine has fought for their sovereignty & territory. I sure hope we defend them against Russia’s land grab.

Happy Presidents’ Day.

Connecticut was out at The CT Capitol today.

Elon did not have legal status in the U.S. when he founded his first company here, and then very likely lied about it to obtain his citizenship. So he can stfu about “illegal immigrants”

BREAKING: The Trump administration has halted the firings of hundreds of federal employees who were tasked with working on the nation’s nuclear weapons programs They’re going to get us all killed apnews.com/article/nucl...

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Right? 🤷‍♀️

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

Do you know who else fires people whoever investigate them? Dictators!!
