Also, this is a *perfect example* of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

Omg

Over 220 roads are currently closed from flooding, and now snow is affecting areas as well. There are 2,300 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet personnel out working tirelessly, because they care about their fellow Kentuckians. Please give them space to do their jobs and thank these heroes.

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.” It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide. It’s perfectly fine as it is. Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

I have so many things to say and am out of words. Nothing is right. I feel so helpless. Angry. Tired. Mostly helpless.

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have even just watching this is through the roof.

Kaine: "Yesterday the DOGE guys post classified information on their website, and they had to realize, 'Oh, we didn't realize that agency was a classified agency.' You shouldn't let people rampage through offices that have classified information."

We need Kentuckians to remain alert. There are more than 300 road closures, with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet leaders saying the statewide impact is historic. From mudslides in the east to snow in the west, the situation is dangerous. Please plan ahead, avoid travel and stay safe, Kentucky.

If we were in the Bible I would expect a flood or plague or some event to take out most of humanity right now. Because this is disgusting.

New in PN: Linda McMahon is much worse than you think "Trump’s plan to dismantle the DoE will be central to Dems’ questions during McMahon’s confirmation hearing. There is, however, another reason that she shouldn’t be anywhere near the cabinet."

This is another reason that Ezra Klein's "look how weak Trump is" column last week was so dumb. Trump is intentionally ignoring Congress because he can, not because he has to. He's intentionally building power in the executive branch in part because he doesn't need to worry about the legislative.

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO. Not for me. It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

I love the reply! 👍😂

Stole our folk music, stole our rock n roll, stole our house music, stole our jazz…

there's missing the point and then there's being overseas from the point

A flag made of black people. A black Uncle Sam pretending to ask Dot to be peaceful right before Not Like Us comes on. The story telling is why you should leave Kenny alone.

That halftime show will stay with me a long long time. Genius. What he did with the flag and those transitions and being able to say so much in 13 minutes. Didn’t know I was such a goddamn fan.

This is probably only one of only two, maybe three halftime shows ever which actually have an artistic point of view beyond “here are my greatest hits”. It’s already extraordinary.

"The revolution about to be televised you picked the right time but the wrong guy" KENDRICK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #superbowl

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

Seriously no one in this sky app is better than Lizzo

So, get rid of foreign aid. Get rid of the internal investigators of corruption. Get rid of as many civil servants as possible. Get rid of oversight. Then bring in Elon biz to run the government with president as CEO — all exec authority. Start with swapping FAA for Space X. Privatize it all. Right?

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.

If you are taking care of a parent, or struggling with the decision to put them in a home, remember you could have had a paid worker come to their house to help take care of them, but Kamala Harris laughed funny, so now their Medicare is about to get frozen.

Elected dems are physically showing up places, holding the floor on the senate tonight, storming Mike Johnson’s office, and acting like they actually care! They may find stepping off their pedestals can be exhilarating and earn respect…
