Good morning! #TaxDollars

Embarrassing

in memory

Weingarten: It’s really only the Congress that can abolish the Department of Education. So, what the president can do is make government basically ineffective—not work—by a thousand cuts. And that’s what they’re doing.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

This was always the risk with Gabbard and Patel at the head of our intelligence gathering. We not only will lose our own sources who won’t trust them, but we will lose intelligence from our close allies. This makes a terrorist attack on US soil much more likely.

I thought I should let you all know what is going on over at Twitter ASAP Spread the word: Elon Musk is indeed deportation-eligible

Elon, I'm gonna need you to provide 5 things you accomplished this week. Looks like a lot of wasteful government spending.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

Only a judge can revoke a green card. The fact is that the Trump Administration is unlawfully detaining a permanent resident and refusing to tell his wife, his lawyer, or literally anyone where he is. If they can do it to him, they can do it to anyone. We need to stand up before it’s too late.

I just want to acknowledge my brilliant colleague, Zeteo political correspondent @premthakker.bsky.social, who broke the story of the arrest and detention of permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil by ICE today. Support independent journalism. Subscribe to Zeteo, as a paid subscriber:

Anyone who cares about the shocking resurgence of antisemitism and its relationship to the attack on democracy all over the world must read this powerful analysis of the Trump-Vance attempt to humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. Tim Snyder’s analysis is devastating.

President Donald Trump may soon attempt to absorb the USPS, an independent agency, into his administration. The order could allow the Trump administration to make mail voting — which was used by tens of millions of voters last year — more difficult.

MSNBC fired Joy Reid despite her ratings being on their way up, figures obtained by the Daily Beast reveal.

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

They searched the whole Defense Department website for the word gay, and then ordered all the gay to be deleted. Seriously. Watch: youtu.be/CQ90aLXmbVY

Left: Who MSNBC fired or demoted from their network Right: Who MSNBC kept or promoted on their network I just can’t qwhite figure out the difference🤔 (Note: If you’re tired of corporate media failing the American people, I welcome your support as a paid or free sub: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe)

GOP votes down @senadamschiffz.bsky.social amendment “that would exempt federal firefighters from the ongoing hiring freeze launched by the Trump administration and reinstate firefighters who have been laid off as a result of cuts to the federal workforce,” per Senator’s spokesperson.

Tell me again how brilliant he is: www.nbcnews.com/science/spac...

30 years ago, we did. They were called "local newspapers." Then the Telecom Act of 1996 allowed essentially unlimited corporate consolidation of media outlets and they killed off local news in the space of a single generation.

We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault *to an extent* Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs. A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.

Right now, there seems to be no daylight between Russia's policy preferences on Ukraine and our own.

Don’t be misled by misinformation. The Social Security Fairness Act was spearheaded by Democratic leadership, not Donald Trump. #GettingTheFactsStraightFromBennieThompson

I guess the standard is different. I stand with you @algreen.house.gov!

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices. Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu. Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

I wanted to collect the data myself, but Zelensky team did it for me The price of the USA ending sharing intel data with Ukraine Russia caught this up quickly and sent 870 attack drones, 80 missiles of different types and 1200 guided bombs #UkrainianView

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

go.bsky.app/SzPeTMV Good Morning Resisters 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 Today is #InternationalWomensDay with the theme being “For ALL women & girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” 💪💓 #DefendersofDemocracy would like to honor their own by sharing this starter pack full of awesome Resister Sisters. Please repost 💙

If you haven't chosen a side yet, then you actually have.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

“Weep, yes, grieve; be angered, work for reform. But don’t get cynical. Don’t get demoralized. Don’t give up,” writes @drmoore.bsky.social. “The gospel is real. The stories are true. Christ is risen, and Jesus saves. That’s reason enough to keep standing.”

In a country that had not, as the prophet Jeremiah put it, “forgotten how to blush,” this abomination would shock every conscience. We are long past that point. God have mercy. apnews.com/article/roma...
