Musk's cronies tried to to gain access to classified USAID data. USAID Director of Security John Voorhees security said no. The Musk people threatened to call in the US Marshals and take the data at gunpoint. They still said no. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I don’t love lawsuits at all, but in this case the admin needs buried in them

Anti-abortion politicians will stop at nothing to deny people essential health care, including threatening to lock up doctors and those who help people get abortions. No one should face prosecution for helping someone end their pregnancy.

They're not fooling anyone.

Dems should not allow anything to move in the House or Senate until this is dealt with. Dem have the power in both chambers to jam up the works, and they need to use it. That isn't a radical tactic, it's what the GOP has done for years for trivial matters. Unlike this, which is catastrophic.

Not today, Satan

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

Just because we saw it coming before they did doesn't mean we're crazy.

ALSOBROOKS: You said 'we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that is given to whites.' Can you please explain what you meant? RFK Jr: There's a series of studies ... ALSOBROOKS: What different schedule would you say I should've recevied?

a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy is that i'm getting emails from my kids' schools assuring me that the teachers are dedicated to protecting my children against the federal government

I’m at that age where my body is still strong enough to do a thing, but if I choose to do the thing, I may need days of physical recovery. For example, sleeping wrong, sneezing, walking up the stairs with all the groceries in one trip (this last one especially). #middleaged #onetrip #myback #owowow

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire. Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

We spent the last four years writing about the high price of eggs under Biden. Now that they’ve reached an all-time high under Trump we’ve moved on to other topics.

My least favorite people are the progressives who jump to say “it won’t matter” every time someone makes a suggestion. “They won’t care.” Maybe that’s considered a good contribution to progress where you’re from but I actually think you’re more damaging than anything else.
