Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges. Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

I was assured that Gavin Newsom was toast (pun intended) politically after the LA fires. 52% of Californians (55% of likely voters) approve of how Governor Newsom is handling his job — (+8 from Oct 2024) Notably, approval of Newsom is HIGHEST IN LOS ANGELES (61%). www.ppic.org/publication/...

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

The Department of Ed has a form to snitch on DEI policies in schools. I’d be a shame if we broke it with thousands of responses… enddei.ed.gov

A trifecta.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

BREAKING: A federal judge in California has ordered OPM to rescind memos calling for the mass termination of probationary employees, saying the agency overstepped its legal authority and must inform other agencies it lacked the authority to issue such a directive.

A question if anyone can answer it: if we don’t help to formulate a flu shot for next year, what do other countries do? Could pharma go ahead and use guidance without the FDA? Or would this just be, nah, fuck that, no shot here, maybe anywhere?

At todays cabinet meeting RfkJr lied abt his role in Samoa deaths, lied that this happens every year, lied that hospitalized kids are only “under under observation”.He did not mention that for first time in 10 yrs, a CHILD has DIED of measles. And he failed to advise ppl to get kids vaccinated

We had a couple people who were supposed to miss, but they showed up. Today was the easy hurdle for MAGA Mike, and he struggled with that. Now they got to line-item the details - that’s when the real screaming and infighting begins.

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

certain respectable, centrist pundits have said or implied that i'm basically hysterical about the idea that the trump administration is segregationist but then we get stories like this one. huh, wonder what ideological perspective might explain this decision.

Senator Tammy Duckworth is a BADass. DOD deputy secretary nominee, Stephen Feinberg is a BAD deflector AND a plain ass. @duckworth.senate.gov

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

Trump doesn't have a cabinet. He has a cartel.

The Trump administration sets the stage for large-scale federal worker layoffs in a new memo apnews.com/article/trum...

This is fucking insane.

Lots of MAGA comments upset over the Trump Gaza AI video

He needs time to shred the parts where Trump and his friends are mentioned so he can quietly leak the rest to Fox News.

This is BAD

Bezos has it exactly wrong. If the Post editorial page is to laser focus on one theme it should be the daily destruction of democracy (not some lame Randian notion of "free markets.")

Allies of former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo filed paperwork on Wednesday forming a super PAC to boost his likely campaign for mayor of New York City, the most concrete sign yet that he is preparing to jump into the race in the coming days. w/Nick Fandos: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/n...

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

FYI @cameronbarr.bsky.social is a man of ethics and quality and innovation. The kind Bezos is repelling now.

Goodnight 🌙 Fuck Trump’s Unqualified Cabinet of Ignorant Clowns

Ranking Member Jamie Raskin Issues Statement on Trump’s Retaliation Against Law Firm that Aided Jack Smith:

"It’s craven. He’s basically fearful of Trump." Marty Baron, former executive editor of the Washington Post, interprets what Jeff Bazos announced this morning. open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

UNREAL: "Department of Veterans Affairs announced today that 1,400 people are getting laid off. This comes after the VA laid off 1,000 people earlier this month... We're already hearing that surgeries are being canceled or postponed at the VA." www.rawstory.com/trump-tammy-...

Kash Patel called judges who rule against Trump “political terrorists.” Trump wants to “have a look at the judges.” Elon called for impeaching judges to “restore the rule of law.” So of course House Republicans are falling in line.   Intimidation has no place in our judiciary.

The FDA vaccine committee meeting that was supposed to discuss how to update next season's flu vaccine was abruptly cancelled today. It’s a key step to allow influenza vaccine manufacturers sufficient time to prepare updated shots for the next season. No explanation was provided.

We’re gonna need some judges to step in here to help keep us safe as Musk gutted the FAA just like he did Twitter, but Twitter wasn’t carrying human beings!!! American Airlines flight discontinues landing to avoid departing plane at Washington National. apnews.com/article/reag...
