🇺🇦Over 25 per cent of healthcare workers in Ukraine reported power outages daily, a report from NGOs has shown. On the ground, the impact is being felt.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

So, do all Republicans agree with Trump that he's a King and Zelensky is a dictator? Or, have we moved on?

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

AGU stands with Federal scientists.

"I do believe that this president in particular has an imperialistic agenda, one of expansion. And we need to take that as Canadians very seriously," said #Newfoundland and #Labrador Premier Andrew Furey. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A Mississippi judge issued a temporary restraining order requested by the city of Clarksdale requiring a local newspaper, The Clarksdale Press Register, to remove an editorial that criticized city officials. The paper's owner said he planned to challenge the order.

A judge said the Trump administration made a "mess" of plans for overseas USAID workers by contradicting a “crystal clear” understanding about how they would be treated.

USDA fired staff working on bird flu & are rectifying the situation. Bird Flu's hit dairy & poultry farms, it's why there's an egg shortage & high prices. Next, we're going to see meat shortages & high prices. Hasn't Trump's first 30 days been great?🙄 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

Senator Ted Cruz has introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution aimed at nullifying the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) 2024 rule that permits E-Rate funding to support Wi-Fi hotspot lending programs for students. www.everylibraryinstitute.org/taking_stude...

It really is pathetic that the President of the United States and the richest man in the world are doing a joint interview together on how they’re running the country.

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin: "No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

See No Nazis, Hear No Nazis: Is the Media Covering for Trump’s Fascist Base? Why are Republican leaders echoing Hitler’s symbology and rhetoric — and getting away with it?

MARCO RUBIO IN 2017: "Foreign Aid is not charity. We must make sure it is well spent, but it is less than 1% of budget & critical to our national security.” MARCO RUBIO IN 2025: "USAID is a global charity."

In South Carolina, tonight: “I have an ectopic pregnancy. It’s on my ovary. They’re making me risk my ovary even though I don’t want to. They refuse to do the surgery.” #ForcedBirthNation Original Post: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2yCKENt/

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

I'd bet cash money that he cut a deal to get a private mail delivery contract, and to hand over his project to electrify the USPS truck fleet to Tesla in exchange for his resignation. Just a hunch.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

Welcome back, Cathy.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Scoop: Three former FCC chairs are speaking out against Brendan Carr's crusade against media companies. In a text message to me, Carr responded, writing, “Lol. Just three?” Then he sent a GIF. And then a lengthy tirade. All the details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/brendan-ca...

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?

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

It warms my soul to see protests taking off across our country. This is what patriotism looks like.

Trump’s team spent the Munich Security Conference pulling the rug out from U.S. allies. But Ukrainian delegates see a silver lining: they believe Europe is finally waking up to the U.S.’s fading reliability and the direct threat from Russia.

#NCPol Tillis told John Thune to cancel the vote since Tillis knew his opposition to Hegseth and it would be enough to kill the nomination. Thune said if Tillis intended to bring down the nominee, he should tell Trump’s team himself. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/u...
