(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

By voting for him you have declared how little we have in common, how small our shared ground of agreement is, and how different the visions of this nation we share. And as much as it grieves me, I’m simply choosing to believe you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Trump tried a seizure of power in 2021. It didn't work, because he relied only on a violent mob. The military and FBI stayed loyal to the Constitution. This time, with approval of the Republican Senate, Trump has installed anti-constitutional putschists at FBI, DoD, and Pentagon

This hits hard.

Clearly another accidental Nazi salute.

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

Musk will now sue Bannon for not paying to use the Sieg Heil feature on Twitter

Opinion | It takes a corrupt sex offender to fight a corrupt sex offender. That’s why Andrew Cuomo is the perfect New York mayor to take on Trump. by Chris Cuomo

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes.  www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Let me guess: they turn right toward fascism all the time! #SwasTesla #Swasticar

‼️ The US is demanding half of the revenues from ports and other infrastructure as part of a new proposal for a deal with Ukraine on minerals, — New York Times

In 1994, under pressure from US, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances from United States, Russia, and UK to respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. Eventually Russia invaded Ukraine. Imagine if Ukraine had kept its nukes-

This is an excellent and timely factsheet on Ukraine, U.S. v. European security assistance, and other misunderstood or lied about aspects of the war, by our friends at @thestudyofwar.bsky.social. I'll summarize a few main points below, with additional sources of my own:

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

He nails it.

Whenever you ponder how Trump could possibly be president, remember the old saying: “Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.“

Leaders of the Social Security Administration had just opened an investigation into a career employee they believed was improperly sharing information with DOGE when Trump elevated the employee this week to acting commissioner www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

French President Emmanuel Macron: "Russia has produced a considerable war effort, with the result that Russia today invests 10% of its gross domestic product in arms production. In France, it's 2%. And we've almost doubled our budget since I've been here.

Americans should know that Trump just abandoned allies with a combined GDP equivalent to US GDP, in exchange for Russia which has a GDP only 6% the size of US GDP. And Trump convinced MAGA that they were all going to be rich.

Действительно, очень большие яички!!

Completely nuts.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Ukrainian side received a new version of the agreement that turned out to be an order of magnitude tougher than the first version, - NV

Outrageous scenes in Sofia where our EU office has been vandalised. In Europe, we exercise the right to demonstrate in a peaceful way. Violence and vandalism are never the answer.

❗️Trump's team asked Ukraine to withdraw a resolution condemning Putin for waging war. Kyiv was shocked: Zelensky refused, — Washington Post cites European diplomats.

For Europe, supporting Ukraine is a matter of security and stability on the continent. Keeping Ukraine strong means keeping a strong, battle-hardened army with real combat experience - the second largest in Europe. Ukrainian army can become a reliable ally in a defense union⤵️

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine has submitted new proposals for a mineral deal to the US, — Fox News P.S. ✊ It is perfectly clear that Trump does not like this very much, but I am glad that we are finally fully defending our interests!

In the darkest times, a Ukrainian author’s words endured. As Russian forces seized his village, Volodymyr Vakulenko buried his manuscript before being killed. His unearthed story is part of Ukraine’s literary revival. Author & reporter @yarotrof.bsky.social joins @11aET #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

Zelensky should just tell Trump the freedom & democracy train left the station, the rest of the free world is on the train, and Trump can either get on the train or not. But no bribes or extortion to get on the train. Freedom & democracy will prevail, with or without the U.S..

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️“It is a strange offer to try and take from a country that is a victim of war, more than it cost to pay for its defence,” the source told CNN.

🇺🇦🌐 78 countries and 651 cities around the World will hold actions in support of Ukraine. A total of 981 “Stand with Ukraine” events are planned for February 22-24.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.
