Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

Again.

One of the most difficult parts of this is many people don’t know, understand, or care this is happening.

Any questions?

These posters should be going up soon.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Trump reportedly told Justin Trudeau he does not believe the border between the US and Canada is “valid” and he wants to “revise” it. Trump has also said he wants to bring Canada to its knees by driving them into economic ruin.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

HITTING THE DOCKET: Judge Amy Berman Jackson rules that Trump illegally fired Hampton Dellinger, the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Cornyn was horrified by Trump and Vance’s behavior. But he can’t say a word because Paxton is about to primary him, most likely with Trump’s endorsement. So Ken taunts him and Cornyn will put political ambition over principle and remain silent.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Most people imagine that democracy ends with a military coup. But they are wrong With @nprfreshair.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Why is Elon Musk like this? Where will a second Trump presidency take America? What happens to the climate fight now? On March 5, join the conversation at More to the Story, a new podcast from our unflinching @revealnews.org colleagues. apple.co/41aytAy

All we need for peace in Ukraine is for Russian soldiers to return to Russia.

As billionaires see their riches grow, homeless children are dying in the cold. Wealth disparity and tax cuts have a deep cost. What have we become?

Hegseth orders military to draw up plans for 40% total budget cuts over the next fives years, 8% per year. Exponentially worse than sequestration that crippled the military in 2011. wapo.st/4hHV3Yt

In December, the Bipartisan House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence released its report. Bertina Kudrin, Kristina Lorch, Omid Ghaffari-Tabrizi explain what is in the report and how it views the future of AI regulation.

There's this, there has been reporting that they got numbers wrong & massively overstated, by tens of billions, the amount of the fraud. But Trump & Musk are claiming that the federal gov't is incompetent? That it is full of fraud & waste? Give me the fed'l bureaucracy any day over these buffoons.

On Monday, thousands of protesters across the country hit the streets to tell Donald Trump and Elon Musk “No kings on Presidents’ Day” in response to the barrage of alarming actions—from legally questionable executive orders to mass firings—taken by the administration since the inauguration.

Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” is anything but. It’s time to come up with a term that accounts for the reckless cuts and backtracking. This isn’t efficiency. It’s destruction. Jen Rubin explains.

"Maybe we don’t need all those employees currently working at the National Nuclear Security Administration? Maybe we need more? Maybe their duties should be reorganized in some way or another? I don’t know. Neither does DOGE." www.thebulwark.com/p/breaking-t...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.
