He always does

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Amen to that.

You are ❤️❤️❤️

I can’t even

Sick

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

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

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

This is how it’s done.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

If you get a request to “speak “ to David Willams outside of Bluesky, he is a lying scammer claiming to be in Yemen as military. Report and block

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Ha ha what’s with the neck chain?

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Correction: I called all POC Trumpers "Chickens for Colonel Sanders," including Indian Americans like Kash Patel and Nikki Haley. Thanks for sharing the clip! MSNBC Guest Calls Black Conservatives ‘Chickens for Colonel Sanders' mediaite.com/a/jdsje via @mediaite

well done, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

Co-presidents Trump & Musk are gaming us—pretending to cut “government waste” while plotting to rob us blind and push a permanent billionaire tax cut that will add trillions to the debt they care about only during elections. The thing is—the con is so g damn obvious! (Video 🧵)

DOGE confuses $Millions with $Billions. What’s a few zeros among friends?

👀

Ok that made me laugh

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

Bannon ought to know

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

Jessica: You say if Joe Biden had done this… If Joe Biden showed up at the Daytona 500, while there were people living under emergency declarations and passing away….

Another good trope for Not My President’s Day

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

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.

It will always be surreal to see Russian assets in our government.

Money talks

let me strongly recommend the flu shot to whoever hasn't gotten one for this season. i just had a *terrible* bout with the flu that almost certainly would have been WAY worse had i not been vaccinated

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

Horrifying

This is probably the most accurate take.

jamelle is correct

Doing great 👍
