Detailed and clear post on the dangerous implications of firing all the top military lawyers from Charlie Dunlap sites.duke.edu/lawfire/2025...

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

This seems like pretty good news. apple.news/AWI9ClSHRSde...

Judge Extends Block on Musk's DOGE From Treasury Systems: (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday extended a block on Elon Musk's government cost-cutting team known as DOGE from accessing Treasury...

Republican Congressman roasted by constituents. Pressed on cuts via DODGE, his go-to answer is, "We'll use AI!" When he says the work the fired researchers did can be replaced with AI, the crowd groans, and he says, "I happen to be a doctor; I know a few things." He's an MD... (50:30)

This is insane. Now Trump wants to seize the Postal Service, dismantle its independence, and throw mail delivery into chaos. This isn’t reform—it’s an incompetent, reckless power grab. We will use every tool at our disposal to fight back.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

If you de-zoot the toots here, he’s saying he spent $44b on twitter as part of his right wing political project—which is both obvious and something you can’t say in the newspaper.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Truth 💙 right here

I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

So, @oliverdarcy.bsky.social has gotten the text of the letter sent by 40 news orgs to the White House re its ban on the AP. Signatories range from NBC, Washpost and The Guardian to Fox and Newsmax. www.status.news/p/associated...

Alaska has the fourth-highest number of federal workers per capita—fish & game, forestry, and more—their jobs are being cut under the excuse of “poor performance.” Lisa Murkowski knows that’s a lie—so why won’t she just say, it’s a lie. Collins, Burchett, and the rest are just giving lip service.

Susan Crawford is running to defeat Elon Musk’s chosen candidate - and Elon’s millions of $$$ - in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election on April 1st. Her @crawfordforwi.bsky.social only has 2.5K followers and it needs A LOT MORE to help get her message out. PLEASE give her a follow now.

BRAVO and THANK YOU!

Holy shit! The ultimate resister right here. Watch what he does at the end. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈💙 He is our example. This happened today at a Huntington Beach, California city Council meeting. People are gonna have to be willing to get this loud, get in their faces, make a noise.

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue Below are some of your favorite things 47 is taking away from YOU @jbpritzker.bsky.social and other Democratic governors fight daily to defend good things for everyone. For the ordinary people, first and foremost.

GOP Senators and House members are scared of being murdered by Trump supporters if they don’t support Trump. This is fascism in America. My latest: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t... According to one source with direct knowledge of the events, North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary.

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

ICE Prosecutor in Dallas Runs White Supremacist X Account. The Observer has identified the operator of “GlomarResponder,” an overtly racist account, as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden. Anyone shocked this piece of shit turned out to be a Trumpster? www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Factchecking Trump's lies by Rihards Kols, a member of the European Parliament.

Cruelty is the agenda. The DOJ forced the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to remove all LGBTQ language & transgender kids from its site & documents. Notice the lack of reporting by MSM yet again.

Delta's DEI Stance Called Out After Toronto Plane Crash by racist Trump! Newsweek: “Trump administration began firing hundreds of FAA employees. There is no evidence to suggest DEI policies were to blame for any of the plane crashes that have occurred this year.” www.newsweek.com/toronto-delt...

I get a LOT of comments, asking why Trump, Musk, etc. aren't being sued for this assault on our democracy. Well, they ARE. In fact, there are multiple suits, filed against every EO! 🎁 Article to go deeper, from me to you: Tracking the Lawsuits Against Trump’s Agenda www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Elon Musk raged on X, absurdly claiming CBS’s 60 Minutes deserves prison time. tRump tweeted he’s above the law and appointed a dangerous attorney who echoes his stolen election lies, threatening the DOJ’s independence. This is a clear slide into authoritarianism. newrepublic.com/article/1916...

It’s Tuesday, February 18. What did Democrats do today?

it’s so cool that we are at the whims of this reactionary force of groypers that don’t understand anything, lead by the dumbest guy ever seen in history
