Over the last 24 hours, MAGA has been ceaselessly spreading the claim that Democrats - from Susan Rice to Tony Blinken to me - pushed Zelensky to reject the minerals deal. Total lie. Made up out of thin air. Zero sources. 1/ A short lesson how these lies spread in MAGA world.

New York Times, Jan. 26, 1935.

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

People in even super-deep-red districts are catching on to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s robbery of the American people. This is getting good.

@indivisiblesac.bsky.social What’s next?

#veterans #action #DOGE

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down. And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

Clown.

“Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.”

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

Happening right in front of us

I think about this headline all of the time.

Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita ran an entirely fictitious campaign, promoting a version of Trump that will never exist, shamelessly fabricating lies about his agenda based on what swing voters wanted to hear. Now the people who believed the lies are suffering. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Canada men’s national team manager Jesse Marsch has a message for President Trump: “Lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state.” nyti.ms/3ER27Dm

A lot of student borrowers are freaking out because Dept. of Ed has closed its portal for income-driven repayment plans following a court decision last week. In doing so, it's shutting off access to repayment plans that weren't at issue in suit. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

(NYT) - A child has died of measles in West Texas, the first known death from an outbreak of the disease that is spreading in the state and in neighboring New Mexico, officials said on Wednesday. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Federal Employee here. Canceled my WaPo digital subscription. #resist #action #freepress

VA official says it's "absolute chaos" there. Even Trump appointees are afraid to act out of fear of angering the public or the White House. "It's leading to paralysis. ... The best employees are starting to look elsewhere. I can't overemphasize that enough." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Amazing scenes. There’s a reason Trump/Elon love the executive orders and the king routine, and part of it is: they don’t have the votes to do it constitutionally.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE PULLING THE VOTE ON THE BUDGET RESOLUTION. THEY DON'T HAVE THE VOTES!

#freepress #resist #firstamendment #action

A couple of thoughts: - We already have a similar program, the EB-5 visa, but that requires investing $500k or 1 million in US businesses and creating jobs, not just buying in with cold hard cash. - Trump can't do anything like this without Congress. The president can't sell green cards. Period.

How is this real life!? #tyrant #corrupt #resist

#Doge #Musk #Trump have come to roost. My company has a supply chain automation contract with the #VA to provide mail order pharmacy to veterans. Mission critical work. We just received this email @briantylercohen.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social

Reporter: If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.

Jeffries: "Republicans are not the party of fiscal responsibility. Stop trying to convince the American people otherwise. In fact, during Trump's first 4 years, the debt exploded to such a degree that 25% of our nation's debt came from just the first term of President Donald Trump."

Ouch. I'm glad judges are pushing, but at some point they need to get over their habitual deference to the government and handle this as they would most cases, to wit: "Counsel, step outside the courtroom, get on your phone, and bring someone here who can answer my questions. You have one hour."

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS Trump administration from implementing OMB funding pause. "The public’s interest in not having trillions of dollars arbitrarily frozen cannot be overstated." A big victory for @democracyforward.org. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Today’s news—Trump White House taking control of which journalists can cover the leader, a big step toward a Kremlin like press pool of handpicked media.

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

Casar: "Enough with the lying and gaslighting. This is not about making government more efficient for working people. The Republican plan is about making government more efficient for big corporations and billionaires who are screwing us over."
