Wyden on why he's not attending Trump's speech tomorrow and instead is hosting a town hall: "We're not interested in hearing about the Donald Trump alternate reality."

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing. The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.

The American people did not vote to make Vladimir Putin our leader.

NEW: I am hearing from multiple sources that Lt General Telita Crosland, Director of the Defense Health Agency, has been pushed out in an on-going purge. Official internal agency news said "retired" but I'm told relieved of duty or at least forced into retirement. www.defense.gov/About/Biogra...

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Donald Trump has betrayed America. If you couldn’t see it before, you just saw it today.

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — 21 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk's DOGE, refusing to "dismantle critical public services."

Plus Joy and Lester Holt? Looks like the slide deck of a Power Point presentation at an employment discrimination webinar. Not a good look @msnbc.com Not a good look at all. A betrayal of your loyal audience & a disaster for your network. www.thedailybeast.com/new-msnbc-bl...

🚨VOMIT WARNING Federal employees at HUD were greeted this morning by television sets at headquarters this morning playing an AI-generated video of Donald Trump kissing the feet of Elon Musk, accompanied by the words: “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”

Dear DOGE: In response to the request for my 5 things I did, I: 1) Learned how to make videos on AI 2) Created a creepy video of Trump and Musk 3) Uploaded the video to TV screens at HUD 4) Gave the day off to our A/V staff 5) Hit 'play' button on Monday morning Yours truly, Loyal HUD worker

Hey @nbcnews.com your chyron is off by a year on the Today show piece on Ukraine. Starting 3 years ago today means it's entering its FOURTH year, not third. Slava Ukraine!

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

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)

BREAKING NEWS: 👇 Alnur Mussayev, a 71 year old former Soviet intelligence officer has alleged Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov." Is anyone actually surprised?!

Elon Musk got called out by the Commander of the International Space Station for lying about President Biden supposedly leaving them stranded for political reasons. His response? Calling the commander “retarded.” This is what passes for leadership and discourse in 2025? Unreal.

Governor Beshear, please run for the Senate. We got your back. Every reasonable adult has got your back. We need you. @govandybeshear.bsky.social

Dawg they Freedom Fried us, it’s so over

On the bright side, if the US is on the verge of constitutional collapse, when we put it back together we can redo Congress with proportional representation!

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Tomb of mysterious missing pharaoh is biggest archaeological find in a century

Here are the GOP members of the Senate Finance Committee--consider going to their LOCAL office this week and exhorting them to figure out why DOGE is in your financial records.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers. apnews.com/article/doge...

The position I'd like to see House and Senate Democrats take is pretty simple: We refuse to cooperate with Republicans on anything until they stop breaking the law and trashing the Constitution. We want Musk out, DOGE dissolved, and the Trump administration complying with federal court orders.

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Holy shit. “USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.” Follow the money.

Democrats are holding the Senate floor in opposition to Trump’s Project 2025 nominee.

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

She's right.

The last PROOF report on Musk established—for the first time—that Musk's anger at the U.S. doing anything to protect us mid-pandemic (and Trump did almost nothing) is what radicalized him, not Vivian transitioning. It took under a week for him to position me as his most accurate biographer... again.

The man Musk is amplifying is a brutal far-right dictator who arrests his citizens for everything from crimes to having long hair and puts them in what's considered the worst prison on Earth—where the expectation is that they will shortly die. Musk wants U.S. citizens sent there. He's utterly mad.

Fox always talks about Jasmine Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social like it’s the first time they’ve ever heard of her. They slow down when they pronounce her name and say there’s a Congresswoman from Texas… We know exactly what they’re doing, but we know exactly who she is. Keep kicking ass, Jasmine!

Elon is mad about what USAID did to help end Apartheid…but wait until we have our own Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

I support this. Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

This is from the DNC headquarters earlier I’m going to go scream for forever.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

FYI google have now stopped "-ai" working at the end of your search string. So put this at the end (after a space) instead: &udm=14 Fuck you #google. #AI

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
