Five former defense secretaries condemned Trump’s firing of senior military leaders as “reckless” and urged Congress to reject their replacements.

The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.” But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children. If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

Just saying.

Of all motherfuckers, I can’t believe the country is going down with this motherfucker.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

Message from a coalition member: Morale is at an all-time low across the federal government, with many employees actively seeking other work. Fear of termination is widespread, and many do not have a backup plan or alternative job lined up.

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed, making widows their prey and robbing the orphan.” -Isaiah 10:1-2

Many thanks to Alison Luterman for sending me her poem. I wanted to share it with you all. robertreich.substack.com/p/praise-the...

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices. How does this help working people?

Now Thom Tillis just has to hope Hegseth doesn’t get drunk in a strip club with a married female co-worker who ends up accusing him of sex assault before the 2026 NC Senate election.

Trump’s vengeance machine is even more dangerous than it was before. He's effectively the mob boss who keeps his hands clean while others do his dirty work. Some thoughts.

In light of Trump II’s predictably cruel and bonkers beginning, many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-c...

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

The CFPB is suing Capital One for lying to its customers and cheating them out of billions in interest payments on their savings accounts. Is there really any doubt as to why corporate cheats and rip-off artists want to "delete" the CFPB?

Reporter: Who gets credit for this? You or Trump? Biden: Is that a joke?

Mike Johnson is threatening to condition California wildfire aid to raising the debt ceiling, which would pave the way for another round of deficit-spiking tax cuts for the wealthy. Playing politics with people's lives to make your donors richer is reprehensible.

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board has endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General. Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.

"It’s unclear why the president-elect would personally 'make a call to check references, a task generally left to lower-level aides'..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

In case you're curious, this is the internal Meta "fuck DEI" announcement received by Meta employees

When you're too stupid to get the joke.

Trump and his MAGA allies are already targeting the four major pillars of resistance to Trump during his first term. As we prepare for Trump’s second regime, it’s important to do what we can to protect and fortify these four centers of opposition.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.
