Trump is basically handing China the entire clean energy market

He tariffed territories entirely inhabited by penguins. That’s all you need to know about how well thought out his plans are.

Breaking character: Today’s nationwide protest are going to be huge and historic. Trump’s approval rating is dropping like a rock. Now is the time to step on the gas.

The Trump administration is asking an appeals court to suspend a judge's order for the government to broker the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported from the U.S. and is now in an El Salvador prison.

Lithuanians in Vilnius paid more respects to the 4 American troops who died in Lithuania than Donald Trump…who ran off to go golfing.

Powerful voices from VA clinicians under attack. Veterans are going to see dramatic changes. The suicide rate is going to climb. Homelessness will go up. SecVA Collins knows and doesn't care. Great piece from my friend @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social. Free read. open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

A lot went down last night—here’s a quick catch-up. Trump says tariffs will strengthen U.S. manufacturing, but just before announcing them, his administration cut support for centers that help American firms do exactly that. Make it make sense.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

As a member of Oversight, I’m sending letters to the identifiable officials in the Hegseth Disaster Signal Chat demanding that they retain all messages for any pending litigation and Congressional investigations. Any deletion of the chat is a willful destruction of evidence.

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.

Bills have been introduced in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland and New Jersey this session - via @stateline.org

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸

If you watch nothing else, watch this clip of #SunnyHostin on #TheView. She nails it. This is what we’ve all been saying. We need opposition not resistance. We need passion. We need to meet the moment. It’s a five alarm fire not a fire drill. Spread the word. #Democrats need to pay attention!!

BREAKING: Trump shuts off intelligence to Ukraine, cutting off data for drones, air attacks, and air defense This is a clear and direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 - in which US gave security guarantee to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and ships

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Republicans have been advised to avoid in-person town halls after confrontations over layoffs go viral. Meaning those fucking cowards are ashamed to look their constituents in the eye after what they did. Don’t take no for an answer. If they refuse to talk to you go to them and demand answers...

One of our best security experts sums it up:

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

U.S. economy will collapse by 2026 on Trump’s tariffs, says Morgan Stanley www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

I still can't get over how shameful this is. Assigning over Ukraine’s mineral rights to the U.S. is "extortion, plain and simple". The US is no better than a mafia boss who demands $$ from a small businessman so mafia thugs don't rob & assault said businessman coloradosun.com/2025/02/26/l...

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

Republicans just voted to destroy Medicaid and they lied and cheated to do it.

Gutting programs and opportunities for historically Black colleges is a direct attack on the strides the U.S. has made toward equal opportunities for all. We must stand with HBCUs and other diverse institutions & organizations under attack by anti-DEI efforts. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Meningitis vaccines were to be discussed in the now delayed Feb. ACIP meeting. Disappointed would be an understatement. This makes grassroots efforts even more important now - parents and young people deserve to know how to protect themselves and prevent this disease. apnews.com/article/vacc...

As Elon Musk continues to talk about subsidies, let’s remember that he is the LARGEST GOVT SUBSIDIES RECIPIENT in the country!

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy. It’s time to speak out and fight back. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.

Even as we are all wading through a massive fire hose of news….and figuring out what matters and what doesn’t…the takeover of the treasury dept payment system by Musk posse is one we should pay attention to.
