If you ever wondered how a civilized modern country like Germany could have gone so completely and violently insane, you're looking right at it. Shoulda shown up.

DHS suspects that ICE raid locations were shared by an internal source. Now the department is calling for polygraph tests. What isn’t in this article: polygraph experts on #AltGov social media offering their advice to ICE employees who may need help passing. We’ve got each others backs.

UPDATE: “DOUBLES DOWN ON THE CRUELTY” @GovBillLee turned down more than $75 million in federal funding for summer meals for kids— now *replacing it* with $3 million for summer grocery costs in 15 counties🤔 @RepCohen calls it “clearly inadequate” More: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

America stopped manufacturing guardrails some time back

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This is why I really have no time for the "behind the scenes, Republicans say yadda yadda yadda." This is a public-facing business. If you tell a reporter you don't want to vote "aye" then you vote "aye," who cares?

These confirmation votes where a couple of MAGA/GOP senators vote 'nay' are just performative. When Mitch votes no, Murkowski votes yes. When Collins votes no, Mitch votes yes. They coordinate it in advance to create the impression of integrity. But there's no integrity whatsoever in the MAGA/GOP.

Trump’s fake Chick-fil-A customer is at the White House today

The insane amount of lithium discovered in Ukraine before the war and peaking shortly before Musk decided to make Putin his new best friend.

Crockett and AOC have been fiery AH through all of this. They know what Musk and Trump knew, (the ONE thing Trump knew). People aren't captivated by policy, they're drawn to larger than life personalities demanding change. This is how you counter the regime.

This is how it's done.

Trump Vowed to Clean Up Washington, Then His Team Hired a Man Who Pushed a Scam the IRS Called the “Worst of the Worst” www.propublica.org/article/fran...

JHC. How long before those chanting "groomers" 2 years ago are raising money for some pedo defense fund, like with all of their other felons.

"Earlier this month, a Berlin court ordered Elon Musk-owned X to provide immediate access to public platform data to two civil society organizations seeking to study systemic risk around the country’s upcoming election." X is now challenging that ruling. techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/x...

"There's an old saying in diplomatic circles: 'If you are not at the table, you are on the table.' Hard to believe it's 2025, and two superpowers are meeting to split up a sovereign nation—like colonialism never went out of style. #Ukraine

Head of DOJ’s criminal division in Washington abruptly resigns www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Food head at FDA quits citing Trump administration’s mass staff cuts www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

#WeAreAltGov We are civil servants here to support you getting into ALL the good trouble in the fight to save our Democracy. #AltGov is a growing, diverse group representing wider coverage of agencies that exist today ONLY because of our citizens...& don't EVER let any of your reps forget that.

🔥 Chair of the Knox Dems @stuhohl.bsky.social responds to @RepTimBurchett’s comments to about the anti-Trump/Musk protests — pointing out the hypocrisy of backing more tax cuts for the rich while cutting Medicaid and food stamps, then claiming to care about the debt.

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

As Gabriel Allon would say, “Moscow Rules” “Russia’s spy services have a shadowy new unit taking aim at the West with covert attacks across Europe and elsewhere” www.wsj.com/world/europe...

He who violates every law, is not saving the country.

Consider submitting FOIA requests to science agencies to get unpublished data before its lost. Who knows what will happen once DOGE fires all the science staff and takes over the computers? Data could vanish.

The fact that she even felt the need to make this statement says a lot about our current state of affairs.
