......... I hate that this is correct

Republicans are voting today to cut healthcare for 72 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Dems, don't give them even one vote.

A defiant threat by Elon Musk warning that federal employees will be given 'a second chance' to respond to his email asking them to justify their jobs or risk termination is likely to spark another round of confusion across the US government reut.rs/3XfbPWo

It was Tawny Newsome and Celia Rose Gooding's birthdays over the last couple of days, so I celebrated them with a dance :) #StarTrek #StarTrekCruise

The "Daily Show" host worked through a bloody hand injury during the show's opening monologue.

Sorry, not sorry! 😈

🚨If YOU live in 1 of these REPUBLICAN districts, these are the MOST vulnerable R's whose seats will be FLIPPED next year if they vote YES to cut Medicaid. Please CALL your representative the vote is TOMORROW & help SAVE this program. YOUR voice does matter and does make a DIFFERENCE. 202-224-3121.🚨

Japanese garden is an amazing sight to see during plum blossom season.

The Trump Justice Department is declining to prosecute a sitting Republican Congressman who was referred to them by the DC police for beating a woman.

Great win. That’s a nice one to pump up morale. #lightthebeam

The contempt for people who keep this country running is astonishing.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

damn I was looking forward to the asteroid landing directly on my forehead

Maddow tries to shake Jeffries into meeting the moment: "Policy doesn't feel like the main convo…we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled autocratic power grab rendering Congress irrelevant, making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke”: Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGe93bq...

Jon Stewart Reworks Trump & Elon’s Sweeping DOGE Budget Cuts youtu.be/utl2uLh1wVI

"Somebody has to make that move!" Take 1 minute to listen to this excerpt of John Carlos' message to 400 High School students in Maryland today. Who looks that chill in front of 400 teens? Take these words to heart and send this on to someone who may need it. Somebody who needs to “make that move.”

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

BREAKING: HHS employees are told that responding to the Five Bullets is voluntary, but warns that if you respond, "assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors."

For a party that prides itself in trying to making America “the best,” the Republicans sure are working hard to making their country the worst with crap like this.

The German elections provide evidence of a backlash against Elon Musk’s far-right crusade, writes @jeetheer.bsky.social. While AfD doubled their standing, the party fell short of their recent polling peak. Arguably, Musk’s embrace led to the party underperforming.

"You can purge a website of the words climate change, but that doesn’t mean climate change goes away." (Good NYT story about one of two legal actions we filed this morning.) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/c...

this is what we're doing? soliciting non-binding petitions? that's what Democrats think is what ought to be done to prevent the illegal elimination of a federal department?

Commander of Andrews Air Force Base tells military personnel not to respond to Musk's "what did you do last week" email. "Your chain of command is the only source that can direct you to take specific actions -- OPM is not in your chain of command." muskwatch.com/subscribe

Headlines matter. Nicely done, Melanie.

The U.S. is literally towing Moscow's line at the UN now. This would be a great day to let your members of Congress know that we still stand with Ukraine, and by the way we know full well that Russia invading Ukraine means Russia started the war.

Or, as the US media likes to call them, "popular influencers"

By now, some of you may have heard that disgraced rapper and producer Kanye West recently launched a meme coin, which is nothing more than a huge scam. While I denounce Kanye and condemn all the awful things he’s said and done over the years, there are apologists out there. Here are my thoughts…

A rift has appeared between some of President Donald Trump’s agency heads and Elon Musk, over Musk’s demand that all federal employees state their weekly accomplishments or risk termination.
