Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

🚨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.

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...

💥 Judge slams Trump's threats against corporations' DEI initiatives: "as the Supreme Court has made clear time and time again, the government cannot rely on the 'threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion' to suppress disfavored speech." www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

NEW ANALYSIS: Politicization of the U.S. Marshals Service poses a real threat to our democracy by undermining the independence of government officials and signaling an endorsement of violence, as long as it aligns with President Trump's ends.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

100% on point. I cannot understand how we got to this. 😞 In case you don't remember (I will never forget the images), this political cartoon references Bucha, on the outskirts of Kyiv, occupied by rxssia for only about a month before Ukrainian forces pushed them out. 1/ Illustration: Pat Chappatte

Ukraine Fact Sheet - February 21, 2025: isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat. We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced. Read more: www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Not only are the Congressman’s remarks not a threat but Martin was a defense attorney for people who actually did threaten government officials - the Jan 6th insurrectionists! - and works for a president who has made multiple violent threats (2nd Amendment people and Hillary, folks, remember that?)

because "free speech"

This is why he is such a unique liar - he repeats the lie that has been repeatedly debunked and discredited, even in front of him (as it was in the Oval Office the other day).

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23. That’s where we come in. With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

Rosen has voted for 7 of Trump's nominees. Yesterday she was the lone Democrat to vote for Kelly Loeffler to lead the Small Business Administration. Loeffler & her husband (CEO of the company that owns NY Stock Exchange) sold millions in stock after she attended a closed COVID briefing in Jan 2020.

I posted this was a lie right after Musk said it. This is the Commander of the ISS. Musk responded to this post by throwing a temper tantrum and calling for ISS to be defunded.
