MSNBC shake-up: the issue is, they didn't have a Joy Reid problem. They have a Joe Scarborough problem. Until he is fired, MSNBC will not recover. Shuffling tepid shows in and out does nothing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

The House GOP budget plan that Trump has endorsed would cut Medicaid by about 10% and cut SNAP by about 20%. At the same time it would increase the deficit by $2.8 trillion to pay for tax cuts, mainly for the rich.

To the MAGA crowd responsible for this: No, I won’t help you. I’m actually glad you’re losing your jobs, your healthcare, your farms, and everything else. Actions have consequences, and you did this to yourselves. YOU did this to me and mine. Don’t expect ANY sympathy from me.

Co-presidents Trump & Musk are gaming us—pretending to cut “government waste” while plotting to rob us blind and push a permanent billionaire tax cut that will add trillions to the debt they care about only during elections. The thing is—the con is so g damn obvious! (Video 🧵)

This needs to be CALLED OUT. The phone numbers for the White House are 202.456.1111 and and alternate number is 202.456.1414 Repost, then ring those phones!!! Remind them that this is a democracy. 160+ million people DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP. 77+ million people did. They are clearly the minority.

Very disappointing to hear Hakeem Jeffries refusing to call for criminal Eric Adams’ resignation and alluding to Eric staying on as NYC Mayor even though he has actively committed crimes in office. This weak capitulation is why Democrats will continue losing to fascists.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
