AMANPOUR (with face in hands): “Never have I ever ever ever seen anything like it… the president and VP were taking all the Putin talking points.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGolFp-...

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​"

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Corruption Watch: Trump/Musk FAA steering huge contract to Musk company.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

NEW: Trump’s USDA admits it "accidentally" fired "several" agency employees working on the federal response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak—and is now scrambling to undo the damage.

I hope Marco understands how dangerous, dishonest and amoral Lavrov is. This is looking more and more like Trump/Russia payday for Russia.

NEW: Nearly 1,000 career federal prosecutors have penned a letter to salute the bravery of those who stood up to the recent actions of Trump DoJ leadership. One of the signatures belongs to Jack Smith. www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Doge is auditing NASA today. This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA. It’s a massive conflict of interest.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

NEW: Kash Patel was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-linked filmmaker to promote anti-western propaganda. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Thank you!

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

I’ll be posting this today

Republican Rep. Mike Waltz, who called TikTok "CCP spyware" last year, now - as Trump’s pick for national security adviser - says it's a "great platform that many Americans use and has been great for [Trump's] campaign"

Dear MAGA, With Trump inviting the TIKTOK CEO, you can now shut up about China. It is clear Trump is absolutely NOT concerned with China and their spying

1. Hundreds of companies who pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 4 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox General Mills Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

Elon is just saying what every other Republican employer is about to say in 2025 - deport everyone else’s employees, but not mine because I really need them.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: CNN stated, "Oh, he's just teasing." Teasing about taking over other countries? There's no such thing as "teasing" when you're threatening the sovereignty of independent nations.

Worth five minutes of your time. youtu.be/JNOviu_XFXg?...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump. "So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

Watching the people who were tortured by Assad…. And my anger for @TulsiGabbard defending him grows hotter. Every senator that votes yes on her is complicit

Markwayne Mullin on Hegseth’s drinking: TAPPER: Drinking at 10 in the morning, that’s a drinking problem. MULLIN: Yeah & there’s probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. TAPPER: A drunk reporter who is drinking at 10 AM…is not in charge of the 3 million person defense department.💥

🚨 Breaking: Assad’s government has fallen, and he has fled Damascus. Sending thoughts and prayers to Tulsi Gabbard in this difficult time for her.

Pete Hegseth, nominee for Sec Def: - zero experience - his own mother will not endorse him - not a single reputable member of the military has come forward to support his nomination - has a history of sexual assault, financial mismanagement and being drunk on the job You're all caught up.
