It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

another Nazi salute at CPAC

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

In case anyone is wondering, this incredible breakthrough had funding from Biden's NIH Cancer Moonshot initiative. ⬇️

@sanders.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov I want to know more about the House Budget

We are seeing House budget numbers from Thursday night that are cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. We would like to see more detail about the billionaire tax cuts.

. 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine is the grandson of KGB spy Valery Martynov—who was deep in a 1980s espionage saga. How much more proof do we need to call Trump and Elon what they really are/ . Russian operatives. . When does it become treason? #Treason #WakeUpAmerica #KGB

BREAKING: Alnur Mussayev, who used to lead intelligence in Kazakhstan and was once a KGB officer, is saying that the KGB brought Trump on board back in 1987.

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

And there it is: JD Vance saying the quiet part out loud, that the MAGA extremists are going after a national abortion ban. For those in the back, WE TOLD YOU! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤬

Ummm…👇 The more you know…💫

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

OMG this is horrible. Rebecca Marodi, a California fire captain who was targeted by the right-wing as being a “DEI hire” & blamed for the LA fires, has been found stabbed to death. May she rest in power. 💔

Commentary in @postandcourier.bsky.social clipped so all can read it.

Good morning America...đź’™

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is now learning that a lot of Republican voters are on Medicaid.

American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United, & their lobbying org Airlines for America petitioned the Fifth Circuit to invalidate a rule on accommodating disabled passengers, including those in wheelchairs. Think about that the next time you fly one of these airlines. www.scribd.com/document/829...

Just a reminder that when the guy Der Furor is now calling a "dictator" entered Notre Dame during its grand re-opening, all the leaders of Europe applauded When Der Furor entered the cathedral he got a lot of side-eye and snickers & whispers behind his back

Confession: cooked an awesome shrimp étouffée. Needed something…. I forgot garlic!

Of course Trump blamed Ukraine for being attacked, just like rapists blame their victims.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Ice storm in Oklahoma has the state shut down Tuesday and Wednesday. The state does not spend money on snowplows.

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

Dark Pence is back.

TRUMP APPEARS 5 TIMES IN EPSTEIN FLIGHT LIST

"One USDA bird flu scientist kept a job but had to say goodbye to ... colleagues. “We all work on high pathogenicity avian influenza—seems like an absolutely reckless time to fire qualified scientists...directly involved in monitoring and responding to this virus right now,” the scientist wrote."

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.” It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide. It’s perfectly fine as it is. Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

Henry, the oldest Nile Crocodile. 124 years old, little over 5m long, father of over 10,000 crocs, captured in 1903. Still active, strong and healthy

Beautiful Mackeson!!

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

Tick tock, Hochul. Try not to be the worst Democratic governor for any longer than you need to. Remove Eric Adams.
