This administration is literally disappearing innocent people off the street and sending them to brutal foreign prisons in full defiance of a unanimous 9 - 0 Supreme Court. This fact must scare every American who respects the rule of law and loves the ideals on which this country was founded.

worth every second

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

I miss when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, and we actually funded cancer research... Three months ago.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The good news is that standing up to Trump is something the Democratic base will reward you for. WHICH IS WHY ITS BAFFLING MORE DEMOCRATS ARENT DOING IT

Before Trump, Canada’s Liberals were headed for an election wipeout. Now they’re looking at an outright majority

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that ANYONE who can't easily admit that Russia invaded Ukraine is a Putin bootlicker, a Russian stooge, and a moronic fucking asshole. Russia invaded Ukraine, folks. PERIOD. h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

Clearly maintaining the White House dress code is very important

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information. The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

As the NYC Council Finance Chair, I don't see how the mayor can continue leading the city under such chaos and turmoil. Working families are struggling to get by, and nobody can afford a crisis of confidence. Too much at stake. Too much work to do. Mayor Adams must resign.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

BREAKING: A Delta plane flying from Minnesota crash-landed in Toronto, eight people injured.

Jessica: Maybe we’ll find out it’s as true as the condoms to Gaza Watters: I made that up.

Trump has nominated conservative conspiracy theorist Ed Martin, who lied about the 2020 election and defended Capitol insurrectionists in court, to be the top federal prosecutor in Washington on a permanent basis.

Sorry, but I’m unfollowing you, @axios.com. If you want me back, you know what to do.

Super glad we torched our reputation with one of our closest allies by continually dangling a self-destructive trade war threat over their head, brilliant 14 Dimensional Chess move here

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily lift funding freeze on US aid abroad.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms it has dismissed more than 1,000 employees A once unthinkable concept for an agency that operates 100+ major hospitals and many hundreds more clinics And processes veterans benefits news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Like watergate on angel dust

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over. "Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

I just want to send a virtual hug to all the federal workers out there. Even though it happened to me, I can't imagine what it's like now. Contact me at the email in my bio - I'm here for you <3

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

People will suffer financially as the prices of groceries, gas, and other essentials skyrocket due to these 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. That’s on Trump.

It's striking how SCOTUS could decide the TikTok ban in a few days but delayed and sat on the question of presidential immunity for months. The Court can move quickly when it wants to. When it came to ensuring Trump could be brought to trial for Jan. 6, it just didn't want to.

I just spit out my tea.

These BGE bills are absolutely bonkers. I have seen a handful of people posting that their bills have doubled or tripled in some cases. That’s not ok, it’s a necessity and there is no other choice for people.

Especially days like this, snow storm and all, parking should be free at hospitals. For all. Essential staff and patient loved ones are doing their best to get there. Least a hospital can do is assure free parking.

Good morning, Baltimore. "Dear Boy, Here I am, on the humid ocean, eating English cooking and hating it, drinking English gin and loving it." James Schuyler writing to Frank O'Hara from the Queen Elizabeth on Aug. 8, 1954. Photo: 1-15-2021

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

Amid all the fascist horror, the various GOP schemes to dismantle the post-emancipation amendments hinted at in Bondi’s reply are among the most damaging & terrifying in their implications.

GOT HEEEEEM

"I love America. You love it too" really hit me.

If you STILL cannot bring yourself to admit the obvious fact that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, how can we trust you to refuse illegal orders from Donald Trump when you become attorney general? Very concerning.
