But we were told everything was all "Fake News"šŸ¤”

MaryBeth Hastings has devoted her career to human rights, one of the many people in #MD08 who have seen their lives, livelihood and work upended by the attacks on USAID. Thanks MaryBeth for reminding us: foreign aid is critical for democratic solidarity.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, itā€™s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

ā€œā€œWas it because of his skin color? Or his skill? Weā€™ll never know, but always doubt ā€” which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesnā€™t really much matter,ā€ Hegseth wrote.ā€ ā€” apnews.com/article/trum...

Former KGB spy breaks cover to reveal Donald Trump was recruited as a Russian spy 38 years ago. Byline Times was subjected to a DDOS attack to prevent this story being published. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

A long but very informative (& annoying)read regarding how Republicans got the SCOTUS they have today. They're up to big changes. Sigh. www.propublica.org/article/we-d...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Kilmeade: ā€œBut thatā€™s all Russiaā€™s fault, Mr. President. Russia did the invā€¦ā€ Trump: (ignores Kilmeadeā€™s remark) Kilmeade: ā€œBut Mr. President, thatā€™s all Vladimir Putinā€™s fault. Donā€™t you agree?ā€ Trump: (ignores Kilmeadeā€™s question) ā€œAnd then Zelenskyy complains that heā€™s not in a meetingā€¦ā€

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldnā€™t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

BREAKING: Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at CPAC. THEY ARE TELLING YOU WHO THEY ARE!

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I canā€™t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and itā€™s incumbent on us not to break it.

Weā€™re all in this shit together, brothers and sisters.

Nature Is Beautiful Thousands of mother Olive Ridley Sea Turtles on the Odisha coast in Eastern India, where they will dig sand-nests & lay their eggs, driven by an ancient instinct.

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

After weā€™ve discriminated against all immigrant, gay, transgender, disabled, female, and minority people, yet find the problems we blamed them for ā€œare still staring us in the faceā€¦.what next? All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer.ā€ Gov. Pritzker, Skokie, Illinois, Feb 19, 2025
