Does Donald Trump want to do a deal that ends the war in Ukraine, or does he just want to do a deal with Putin? @mcfaulmike.bsky.social offers a reframing that better explains what Trump is up to:

🚨

Musk says that DOGE “restored” funding for Ebola response, but former and current USAID officials say this is untrue. 🚨90% of the staff and contractors who would respond have been fired 🚨Contracts to UNICEF have been canceled and gone unpaid. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Congressman Alford struggled to quiet the audience amid shouting. 'Can I have your attention, please? Class? Class?' Alford said, as though he were a teacher trying to calm students. 'You work for us!' someone shouted..." www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

1400 more firings at Veterans Affairs: "Officials said specifically that Veterans Crisis Line responders were not affected by the dismissals. But workers within the department said that support staff for the crisis line were among the workers let go..." www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

only the best. www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

I'll have a few minutes after votes tonight to talk about some of the events of the day on video. What do you want to know?

A Washington Post analysis found that hundreds of the canceled contracts DOGE listed represent savings of $0 each. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Merit?

Mexico said Monday it’s awaiting a new response from Google to its request that the tech company fully restore the name Gulf of Mexico to its Google Maps service before filing a lawsuit.

Problem #1: Team Trump firing National Nuclear Security Administration workers, seemingly unaware of the critically important work they do. Problem #2: Team Trump struggling to contact them in order to beg them to come back. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

BREAKING: House Republicans just released their budget plan, and Rep. @ritchietorres.bsky.social reports that it would cut: ●$880 BILLION from E&C, affecting Medicaid. ●$330 BILLION from education, affecting public schools. ●$230 BILLION from agriculture, affecting food assistance. This is nuts.

As we’ve been calling out for weeks, they had more than just “read access.” The Treasury has now revoked the editing access that was “mistakenly” given to a musk staffer.

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, is securing real beneifits as he helps Trump disrupt the federal government. Just how? The NYT takes a deep look today at these benefits: federal investigations targeting Musk companies that have been disrupted or now may die. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

If you hated the Super Bowl halftime, but you also truly care about Black lives, equity, history and a revolution… then you may have (absolutely) missed the point of the halftime show.

Sam Jackson as Uncle Sam Oh the levels

The Chiefs can still win if Mike Pence has enough courage

More of this, America.

JD Vance claimed last year that Trump is "not a vengeful guy." For those who believed this, I have some bad news. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

FEEDBACK: A viewer wrote about our decision today to detail the violence against police by the Coloradans pardoned by Trump for J6. We did it because many Coloradans back the Blue. And it should be on the record for when those J6 attackers run for office in Colorado. #copolitics

Harris beat Trump 54% to 43% among voters ages 18-24. Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29. Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39. Trump to Fox: “I won youth by 36 points.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/p...

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Put the device down and go outside. Find one person and say hello.

Write to your senators and representatives!! Now.

BREAKING: A woman testified to the House Ethics Committee that she WITNESSED Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz have sex with a minor (rape.) abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive...

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.
