Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Trump now seizing the USPS. The USPS board has retained counsel to fight him. Breaking a 250 year precedent. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is infuriating.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

I transcribed remarks from Steve Bannon at CPAC, about Jews and Israel. Video attached. It's a master class in how the far-right spreads blatant antisemitism, but disguise it by including Israeli Jews within the category of those threatened by perfidious rootless Jewish billionaires.

I write about Trump's EO re: independent agencies: "Having already subdued Congress, Trump has now openly announced that the Führerprinzip governs the executive branch and that he will crush any honest public servant who dissents." slate.com/news-and-pol...

The public produces a loud outcry for parks but not migrants or trans people Ok, we see you America

This is worth reading. Remember who you are and what we want this country to be.

BREAKING: Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was released from prison last month after Trump pardoned him along with 1,500 other Jan. 6 rioters, has just been arrested by Capitol Police for assaulting a counter-protester.

When my mother was going through chemo, we scheduled telehealth visits whenever possible. Getting dressed. Walking to the car. Sitting in a waiting room. Sometimes those seemingly easy things aren’t possible. I was her caregiver. I didn’t sleep for 18 months. This is cruel.

"Golden Era"

When JD Vance can go to Dachau and immediately follow it by all but endorsing the far-right, Holocaust revisionist AfD, and Marco Rubio can go to Yad Vashem and immediately follow it by defending Vance's support for the AfD, we need to ask big questions about what Holocaust remembrance is even for.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

This is how it’s done.

A JetBlue pilot was arrested at Boston Logan Int’l Airport for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He's not a drag queen—he’s a 33-year-old white male named Jeremy Gudorf. Where are the MAGA crowds to condemn DEI? I can't seem to hear them over their deafening silence of hypocrisy.🤔

Ukraine was warned it faced an imminent shutdown of Elon Musk’s vital Starlink satellite internet system unless it signed the extortion deal on rare earth minerals, Reuters reports.

Once again, WE have the power to end this. Stop spending money on anything other than essential goods & buy from local small businesses. A couple weeks of that will cripple large corporations and they will turn on the administration. Cancel your subscriptions & close your accounts & tell them why.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Zelenskyy is one of the few leaders admired globally. Not for the power of his office, but his conduct in it. He is the antithesis of Trump, which fuels a jealous rage. And, like every messianic sociopath, Trump believes he’s untouchable. But, eventually, even the most loyal lapdogs gag.

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

👏👏👏

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

As we approach vote on government funding, let’s make one thing CLEAR: The government is already shutdown. Trump and Musk shut it down. GOP in Congress did nothing to stop them.

He is now referring to himself as the king.

The facts still matter. #Ukraine

Trump’s executive orders have blocked entrance to the country for thousands of Afghans, including those who worked with the U.S. military and their relatives. Two brothers hope answers come quickly for their sister and her husband @lomikriel.bsky.social @propublica.org @texastribune.org

We're not calling daily, school-sponsored prayer unconstitutional. The Supreme Court already did that in 1962. We're just trying to bring Alabama's legislature up to speed. www.wtvy.com/2025/02/18/p...

Omg. Another crash.

41% of new ICE detainees have no criminal record, according to new data obtained by @nbcnews.com, despite President Trump's promises to target the “worst first” in arrests and deportations.

Imagine, by the time Donald and Elon break up, Elon will have all of Trump's financial records and tax information in his back pocket. Then we will see all of Trump's tax returns.

Chief Justice John Marshall would like a word ... Marbury v Madison: "It is emphatically the duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is." #DictatorDonald #TrumpAutocracy #RuleOfLaw www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

The truth is still important. Keep spreading it.

Things are not developing as I would wish. www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.
