Schools are closed all over central Iowa. Why? Dangerous wind chills of 30 below. How do we know to keep our children safe? The National Weather Service, which Trump plans to destroy.

Where is this headline WaPo, NyTimes, CBS, NBC...and the rest of our media?

Atlantic hasn't abandoned good journalism.

Heads up, history twisters. He's coming for you. Wake up and smell the price of tariffs on Columbian coffee (and everything else). May the WWIi vets from Normandy Beach come back to haunt the dreams of Donald and Edolph. Every night of their lives.

Too good for him. And it does a disservice to our lovely lady parts.

Would live to see this flood the zone, all the zones. She has always had his number: 0.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Have information you think the public should know about the Census Bureau or other parts of the federal government? I'm a @npr.org correspondent who's available via the encrypted messaging app Signal at hansi.01

Respectfully, Chuck Schumer, cede the floor to Jamie Raskin at every opportunity. We need the best truthtellers out front. Thank you in advance.

As a daughter of a man who fought against Hitler alongside two brothers in other branches of the military, I can't for the life of me understand how these bozos are allowed to slap the service of those soldiers in the face. They are not worthy.

Coincidence run amok. Again.

RACHEL? ARI? ANYBODY?

That month ⁉️

"Genius" in one area does not necessarily translate to other areas. As demonstrated by actions, Elon has no emotional intelligence, no spiritual depth,no wisdom, and most disconcerting, no sense of humor.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

All of them Heroes! This!!! 👇👇👇

And all because they had the audacity to go after Elon for murdering Ukrainians.

True.

Not so brilliant.

Heads-up my farmer friends.

Take the time to read this important analysis. We are in exactly the situation that laws, Constitutin and basic common sense should prevent. And yet. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/t...

Anyone who thinks Jesus would approve of this must be using the Trump Bible, which I believe is supposed to be read upside down and backwards and contains no New Testament.

Hmmm 🤔

Kind of a big deal, no? Would like to see every Democratic representative holding DAILY UPDATES on the Capitol steps.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.
