Buffett’s annual letter is out — and includes this message to “Uncle Sam” about the tax Berkshire will pay: “Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, through no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better.” 🇺🇸 www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024...

Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.

In a functioning system, Trump would have been chained up immediately after he incited a coup. He would have been dealt with like a traitor and a terrorist. But we didn't have a functioning system. And that's why we can't just hope to go back, we have to reimagine something better.

When CA or any state struggles to respond to devastating wildfires this year: It won't be because "the spigots" are closed. There are no such spigots. But it just may be that when we needed help the most – firefighters' jobs got cut to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

What's the old saying? United we stand, divided we fall. (Corny, but it's true!) There are a million #DoomBots on here trying to infect the masses with that crappy unAmerican defeatist attitude. Block. Mute. Ignore!

Did Stephen Miller give Trump’s remarks some Nazi polish, or did they just run the original Russian through Google translate? Donald is a fully owned subsidiary of the Kremlin. As we’ve been telling you for nine years now. This is no longer a subject of debate.

When the Trump administration says it wants to crack down on corruption and wasteful spending, it conveniently doesn’t count spending that ends up in the president’s pockets, like the $10 million+ spent on golf at his properties

Russia-linked hackers have been phishing Ukrainian military with Signal QR codes that look like group invites but instead add a linked device that eavesdrops on messages. Update Signal now to get its fix for a tactic that’s likely to spread beyond Ukraine. www.wired.com/story/russia...

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

People will die because Elon Musk wants to use his crappy AI company, xAI, to take over the government. He plans to become “Technoking” over America just as he says he is (it’s actually his official job title) the Technoking of Tesla. I repeat: people will die because of this boundlessly evil man.

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

First the Super Bowl. Now the Daytona 500. He's not a real president -- he just plays one on TV. And it's costing the American people TENS OF MILLIONS in extra, unnecessary, wasteful spending. Maybe THAT is what "DOGE" should be cutting?

The holocaust and the Nazi's who carried it out should never be downplayed. The American people, Jews around the world, and memories of every holocaust victim deserve better than JD Vance making space for holocaust denialism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Just made a donation to Indivisible's PAC to go after Republicans who put President Musk/Trump ahead of their duty to defend the Constitution. I'm tired of Republicans running roughshod over everything and bowing to authoritarians. Payback time. secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...

There will be no clearer measure of the cowardness, cravenness, and weakness of Republican senators than a vote to confirm RFK Jr., an undeniable dangerous threat to the health and well-being of literally every American.

Trump's administration has shut down important medical research, left staff in dangerous locations with no way home, he wants to kill OSHA and the Department of Education. He hasn't done anything to stop inflation or lower prices. Almost a month in, do you still think he cares about you?

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.
