Trump on calling Zelenskyy a dictator: “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”

You only fire the lawyers if you plan to break the law. It's that simple. That's what Hegseth meant when said "roadblocks." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

I have NO sympathy whatsoever for MAGA business owners who enthusiastically voted for Trump but are whining like babies now that their federal contracts are being cancelled. I realize they only expected people they hate to get hurt, but guess what? Trump and Musk don’t care about people like you.

from today's post — thanks for reading! link to the whole thing is here: bit.ly/4bgBAvr

Truth sandwich The President does not have power to ignore the courts. John Yoo and Robert Delahunty essay recently invoked Cambodia case claiming Pentagon "ignored" a court order. The legendary Burt Neuborne sets the record straight in this brilliant essay. (Burt argued the case in 1973.)

Aren't these ideas GREAT for Americans???

Donald Trump said he wants to deport rapists and sex traffickers. Turns out he's now importing them.

Remember when QAnon was hunting for sex traffickers? Then Trump imported the Tate brothers from Romania to Florida. #SexTraffickingFirst

LMAO! 🤣

Organ Transplant System ‘in Chaos’ as Waiting Lists Are Ignored "...officials skip patients at the top of waiting lists & send organs to people who are not as sick and have not been waiting as long. Those recipients are disproportionately white & better educated." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Three billionaires: America’s oligarchy is now fully exposed | Robert Reich: As Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk alter US media, the connections between wealth and power are in plain sight One of the unacknowledged advantages of the horrendous era we’ve entered is that it is revealing for…

“Especially in light of the billionaire’s other blatant efforts to cozy up to Donald Trump, Bezos’s move is more than a gut punch; it’s more like a death knell for the once-great news organization he bought in 2013.”

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

I guess Trump put so many rapists in his administration that he now has to import new ones.

Clarence Thomas accuses colleagues of stretching law "at every turn.” That’s rich.

The travel ban has been lifted for the Tate brothers. They’re leaving Romania and headed to Florida thanks to Donald Trump. They were arrested in 2022 and charged with human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering and starting an organized crime group. Beyond DISGUSTING.

Congratulations Magats, these are the immigrants that you’ll get now.

Elon Musk Chuckles About 'Accidentally' Canceling Ebola Prevention Funding During Trump Cabinet Meeting www.comicsands.com/musk-doge-eb...

After Governor Ron DeSantis said that the Tate brothers aren't welcome in Florida, Andrew and Tristan Tate have just landed in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

I don’t understand why nobody punches this guy in the throat? apple.news/AubFTyUojTmy...

Some of Musk’s SpaceX employees now have FAA email addresses. The FAA is supposed to regulate SpaceX. The FAA is also now close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon in favor of a contract with Musk’s Starlink. Gift link: wapo.st/4bfF1m5

WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of Americans applying for jobless benefits last week jumps to 242,000, a three-month high.

We fought for 7 years to get away from a king. The constitution is clear- Americans do not want a concentration of power. It is the division the separation of power - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government - that prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful.

These tech billionaires...Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg... The reality is simple: they're billionaires, and they want to protect their wealth. At the end of the day, it’s all about the MONEY.

It was past Snoreleone's bed time.

HELL YEAH: During my interview with Congressman Eugene Vindman, he BLASTED Trump for supporting Putin over Ukraine: “Dangerous. Dishonorable. Disgusting.” He then attacked Trump’s lies: “Anybody that tells you Ukraine is responsible for starting this war, whether it’s Putin or Trump, is LYING.”

Trump & Musk are lying—PEPFAR funding has not been restored. Millions of lives hang in the balance, including people cut off mid-HIV treatment. Fired workers & activists staged a “die-in” to protest this deadly betrayal. “What we are demanding of Congress is that they stop behaving like doormats…”

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.

This is the Supreme Court who destroyed America.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Ben Meiselas: This is a time for fearless coverage. There's so much to report about every single day—what's going on in the White House every single day.. pushing back on that every day and saying it in a way that doesn't mince words. And I think that's what's connecting with our audience.

THIS is how you write about the absurdity of this administration. It’s brilliant prose, full of irony and subtle humor, with a meticulous eye for the farcical details. No other approach could have adequately captured what happened in that room. All who chronicle this era should take note.

We need to tax them until they bleed

I wrote this! It must be the truth!

Good to know RFK Jr has that shit handled. I feel a lot better.

If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Trump calls America 'fat and disgusting.' Literally no one hates America more than our president. Also, projecting much, Yam Tits??? www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

DOGE has made several potentially deadly “mistakes,” and yet another was mentioned at Trump’s first cabinet meeting today. Elon Musk attended and essentially ran the meeting, admitting that his Department of Government Efficiency “accidentally” canceled Ebola prevention funding —…

Elon in control, not Trump.

So he was drunk or lying.
