Vote, Florida!

Trump Playbook: Lie. Spin. Blame. Repeat.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

This seems...stupid? Poorly conceived? Unserious? I'm going to stick with stupid. But who's stupid, this manipulative posturing administration or the braying crowd that supports them?

Keep Elon out of our private shit!

What can go wrong? Oralndo Sentinel: Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance

The Trump administration has fired a quarter of the federal employees in a central program office responsible for coordinating the tracking and monitoring of the growing bird flu outbreak.

Gov't Overreach - Following the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion programs at U.S. agencies, FCC chair Brendan Carr argues the agency can end DEI programs at any entity it regulates and has asked for an investigation into such programs at Comcast and NBCUniversal.

Remind or educate everyone.

Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? And how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind

Gov't Efficiency at its finest: A FL Senate Republican on Tuesday filed a bill that combs through state laws and would replace references to the “Gulf of Mexico” with the “Gulf of America” after President Donald Trump issued an executive order to rename the gulf. F these idiots.

Brian Stelter,December 9, 2017: "Before taking office, Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals." Stelter wrote: “I think about this quote a lot.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-6...

My great and brave congressman. BTW, I wrote to both my senators (who largely won't listen) encouraging them to show some spine and to thank @frost.house.gov for using his. Maybe volume matters. Let them know where you stand.

Legacy media is failing to protect democracy. I built Democracy Docket to stand up to bullies like Trump. It will not back down. It will never obey. Become a member now to help support its 17-member team do the hard work at this critical time. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe/

Sorry, Mexico and Canada, we elected a dimwitted shitheel

BEWARE THE TECHNOZOMBIE APOCALYPSE: Elon Musk’s stormtroopers are hollowing out and replacing the innards of the DOJ, FBI, Office of Personnel Management, Treasury Department, and dozens of other federal agencies with technocrats loyal to him and his frontman Donald Trump. It’s an inside coup.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust by the forces of hate and bigotry. Now more than ever, we cannot be silent in the face of evil. #NeverAgain

We told you …
