I’m all for this, tho I’m pretty sure I understand why people wont give up on Trump. Ninety percent sure i will end up without medical insurance and 50/50 on being without a job. I’m living on the edge and I wish there was someone I believed could fix it. But, books! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/o...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

A depressing and worrying view of public reaction. If this many people think he’s doing a great job, is the administration doing what the people want? (How have so many people seemingly have’nt heard about Project 2025, or if they have, don’t take it seriously?) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Our Felon President posted "Long live the King" to Truth Social, and the White House shared his quote on X-Twitter... That's where we are, folks. The good news: We are not subjects of, nor are we beholden to, ANY king. Remember that. #DemocracyNotDictatorship www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Even Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, has issued public warnings that cuts to Medicaid could be politically damaging to Trump and other GOP leaders. “A lot of MAGA is on Medicaid,” he said on his “War Room” podcast just last week. “You can’t just take a meat ax to it.”

Urgent Help Needed! In the early hours of February 15, this litter of puppies was abandoned outside a fire station in Apple Valley CA. Sadly, they've since arrived in the deadly 'shelter' where their chances of survival are low due to illness and of course the kill team.

Hurricane, who was a Special Operations Canine for the Secret Service, became the most decorated dog in U.S. history. He died this week at the age of 16.

Dark Pence is back.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

I'm with her .... Are you ?

Are you OK tearing up the constitution and allowing Trump to become the King of the USA? Because that is what’s happening.

Today’s #CupOfJoe is delivered by @sanders.senate.gov, who urged Europeans to "stand tall against right-wing extremism" after the American VP scolded the continent's leaders for not accommodating parties like the neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany. #FreedomNotFacism

Who gets to decide when we’re in a constitutional crisis?

Don’t look at this without sitting down. And wait an hour after your last meal.

We live in the times of unreality.

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"

Adam is absolutely right 💯

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been hit as Elon Musk’s DOGE makes more dangerous, indiscriminate cuts to government agencies. Trump administration incompetence has led to more dire consequences. The USDA admits to the accidental firings of employees working on the..

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."

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Dear World, I apologize. We have a Russian asset in the White House. Trump stands with Putin. He doesn’t stand with Ukraine, NATO or the free world. Many, many, many of us Americans apologize profusely for this. Sincerely, A Ukraine-Supporting, NATO-Supporting American

"While Trump retains the ceremonial position of Head of State, signing executive orders with flourish and basking in symbolic pageantry, Musk has effectively become Head of Government, wielding unprecedented control over federal agencies."

We are already living in an autocracy. Republicans are afraid of him. Democrats lack the votes to stop him. The courts have no means of enforcement to make him comply with their orders. Only We The People can stand up and say #Enough! jimforflorida.com

This headline. This photo. Is it bad when people get what they want?

Maybe they should have actually looked at the agency evaluated who is VITAL then recommend changes and give the proper notice. Welcome to the Kingdom of Amerikkka

I am at the NATO meetings in Brussels. Trump and Putin are plunging the world into dark chaos. Here is my dispatch from day one of the meetings. I decided that it was time to go over the boards for Canada. Please read and share. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A key question i wish they had included more data about their polls. If they are truly fresh and new, this situation is a whole lot worse www.vox.com/politics/399...

IT’S RACIST INSANITY.

When you see DOGE, how do you hear it in your head? What does it rhyme with? Pouge? Smog? Smoggy? Dougie Houser? Or as in Doge’s Palace, in Viena? (Which I’m honestly not sure how to pronounce,)
