He nails it.

REMINDER: The trial in which Enrique Tarrio was convicted of seditious conspiracy was presided over by a Trump-appointed judge. That makes him extra guilty.

When will it sink in for most people just how dangerous Elon Musk really is? They are going to start jailing people. A lot of people. They're going to bumb-rush the courts, then start filling up jails. Hope I'm wrong.

Since China's not stupid enough to put Musk in charge of their whole government, is the slogan now Make America Worse Than China? apnews.com/article/tesl...

I've no idea why Trump is being treated as an appropriate broker at all. If this peace negotiation were serious, it would treat Trump as an intermediary of Putin and allow the EU to act as the intermediary for Ukraine. It's a farce that anyone in the international community treats Trump otherwise.

This is probably the most accurate take.

"Done right" lol

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Do what the hero says.

Casar: "You know what Elon Musk doesn't seem to be looking into? His own contracts."

My second book for #BlackHistoryMonth is one I've put off for years because I wasn't ready for the pain. But the poetry and the joy got me through it, and the story full of stories will stay with me forever. This is a masterpiece that broke my heart so many times. Thank you, Toni. #BookSky

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

From 2003 to 2006 UNOPS in Afghanistan was headed by an American who was billing for projects and pocketing millions. USAID was informed so they sent an investigator around the country and produced a report. He wasn't prosecuted by US because of bad publicity. It was USAID that ended the corruption.

In 2005 when I lived in Yemen polio returned to the country. One area refused to let the gov in to vaccinate. USAID sponsored a Yemeni NGO which negotiated with the area tribal leaders to allow them in to vaccinate their kids. They later built schools and clinics. USAID was a source of pride for me.

Remind me when George Soros or his son Alexander Soros shut down government agencies, hijacked the Treasury Department, and stole our social security numbers?

And everyone who said it’s not about race. The fact that the very *first moves* of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid. This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

During the 1992 Los Angeles riots, I went to my history professor's office and asked him to explain to me why it was happening. He said "there's no easy answer," reached behind him and handed me his copy of The Autobiography of Malcolm X and said "start here." It changed my life. #BlackHistoryMonth

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

Did Pete Hegseth think it was an Alcoholics Anonymous plane?

Just a thank you to the Biden and Harris administration and the Dems in the senate for confirming a record number of diverse and amazing judges to the federal bench. It’s going to matter a lot over the next four years.

Striving for a peaceful Thursday… Probably not going to happen, but it’s good to have goals.

Courts are the only thing standing between Mallomar Gaddafi and dictatorship.

This provided a much-needed laugh this week:

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

Save this to your seminal documents on who Musk really is.

It's their superpower.

😔

Excellent post

Tariffs are such a stupid idea it's a wonder nobody ever thought of them before.
