šŸšØBREAKING: Donald Trump is expected to issue an executive order & fire members of the Postal Serviceā€™s governing board & place the agency under control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The board is planning on suing the Administration. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Donald Trump claimed he wanted to lower housing prices. Iā€™ve put up an amendment to the budget that says we should do that. Letā€™s see whatā€™s more important to my Republican colleagues ā€” addressing the rising cost of housing, or tax cuts for billionaires.

Most people probably arenā€™t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

BREAKING: GOP Senator Susan Collins says sheā€™ll vote AGAINST Kash Patelā€™s nomination for FBI Director: ā€œMr. Patelā€™s recent political profile undermines his ability to serve in the apolitical role of Director of the FBI.ā€

Senator Murphy says Trump and his allies are now operating above the law (as Trump himself tweeted this week)

No context needed Senator Murkowski.

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal criticized Trump's statement on Ukraine.

BREAKING 1. Senator Mitch McConnell will NOT be running for re-election. 2. Senator Susan Collins will be voting NO on Kash Patelā€™s nomination.

Republican Senator just back from šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ disagrees with Trumpā€™s capitulation to PutinšŸ‘‡šŸ½

"Behind the seemingly scatter-shot opening acts of his second administration, legal analysts see a common goal: to test a once-fringe legal theory which asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch." --Jacob Knutson

Kash Patel, a vitriolic partisan, has been confirmed as FBI Director.

Republicans are trying to pass a measure in the dark of night to screw over working people so they can send a bunch of tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations. We wonā€™t let them do it without a fight.

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

NEW: Judge Chutkan sets a two-month briefing schedule on a proposed preliminary injunction against Elon Musk and DOGE for alleged violations of the appointments clause. This was the schedule that plaintiff states requested. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Kash Patel has repeatedly proven that his loyalty isnā€™t to the American people or the rule of lawā€”itā€™s to Donald Trump.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for ā€œoffensive operationsā€ to jail Americans who they consider ā€œthe enemy.ā€ ā€œWe will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the mediaā€

"Most of DOGEā€™s money, records show, has come in the form of payments from other federal agencies made possible by a nearly century-old law called the Economy Act. To steer those funds to the new department, the Trump administration has treated DOGE as if it were a federal agency."

Saudi Arabia was behind 9/11 and funds trump, Russia has been our enemy since WW2 and Putin is evil. Trump loves them. My guess, they're gonna split the world, take over Europe, set up a new Berlin wall, SA takes over middle east around Israel. Perpetual war for profit. youtu.be/6JJyDthPhB0?...

I just don't get the logic of arguing that a case is an abuse of criminal processā€”while asking to dismiss without prejudice

All workers that have been illegally fired should return to work and take back their buildings from Elon, Doge, and the trump cronies installed at the tops and kick them out. youtu.be/wT4uP9sYjwA?...

While I once believed that there was a time and place to try and build bridges of understanding, as Dream Hampton so eloquently stated, ā€œnever waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.ā€ Read and Subscribe: open.substack.com/pub/danielle...

According to Musk and most of tech: No conflict, no interest

He has moved on www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

Hey, look, hereā€™s @chriswarcraft.bsky.social out there walking the walk www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Not sure who the guy is that is interviewed but he calls out Putin and trump and the peace talks happening, saying #Ukraine is the victim and we need to defend freedom and help Ukraine win. I'm surprised fox ran this. youtu.be/aSX8nwyrxM0?...

The MTA sues the Trump administration: "The Trump Administrationā€™s efforts to 'terminate' Congestion Pricing are unlawful." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm with Marc, I am not powerless, you are not powerless, together we all are incredibly powerful. Trump and them may appear as Goliath, but that is a false image, they are actually very small and weak with no real power. Millions of "Davids" can't lose. youtu.be/00AWWiCzD_E?...

Math is still hard www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

The Trump Administration's ā€œexecutive disordersā€ to indiscriminately halt trillions in congressionally-appropriated funds has left nonprofits throughout the country scrambling to keep the lights on and serve vulnerable community members.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

Exactly right

The most useful of idiots for Russia and China, as well as all of the enemies of the US. Trump has opened the door wide and left us all at risk www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

3 migrants beat the Trump administration in court. They got deported the next day abcnews.go.com/US/3-migrant...

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trumpā€™s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

Snowflakes www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

They are flooding the zone with lies. Don't retreat to BlueSky but use it for info and memes to spread in their zones. Harass them with the truth on Twitter. Speak truth to power and put power on the defense, their lies will crumble. Stand up to the weak bullies. youtu.be/YkshYGLUxSo?...

They briefly mention at the end that we need to move on from old WW2 geopolitics and that's basically why trump is working with Russia for a "new world order" and era of new alliances. Sounds like a trump/Putin team up against America and our longtime Allies. youtu.be/X-vbrOcCfN4?...

Our Coastside neighbors deserve access to all of the constituent services my team offers, so we opened our Half Moon Bay office, and met with dozens of community leaders.

America not feeling hardcore on Space Karen

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that Iā€™m Puerto Rican šŸ˜‚ they want to threaten me with it so bad šŸ˜‚

I'm seeing this story circulate a lot, and you should know that this (horrible!) killing is so far being investigated as domestic violence, so I'd be wary of treating it as politically motivated unless we learn more

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. Heā€™s got nothing else.
