Journalists accurately reported that Adolf Hitler was a “Little Man” the whole world was laughing at, Timothy W. Ryback writes. It didn’t matter: theatln.tc/EIu4eWod

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

The first person to alert the public that the Trump administration was preparing to send planeloads of Venezuelans to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was a retired J.P. Morgan executive in Ohio named Tom Cartwright, @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports:

Remember when student debt forgiveness was attacked as "buying votes"?

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

History books won’t make sense of this either. It will be up to psychology studies.

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥😁😁

🔥Rep. Mikie Sherrill came in swinging: “You don’t give targeting information. You don’t give time. You put people in danger!” A Navy Vet and former Russian policy officer, she’s not mincing words—Trump’s team endangered American lives, and they know it.

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elbows up!!

This should INFURIATE you

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

🚨 NEW: VoteVets is launching a six-figure ad blitz across TV, streaming, digital, and billboards—exposing GOP Veterans dodging constituents while Musk’s DOGE fires thousands of Veterans. They promised to fight for Veterans—now they’re silent. Stop Elon’s war on Veterans. Demand Congress act!

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

At least 40 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country. Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE are planning to terminate over 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides essential severe weather forecasting and warnings. What’s efficient about that?

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

Destroy the country then give yourself a vacation. What a gig.

Happy International Womens Day! 🤍🫶🌹

The Trump Cycle of Stupidity continued today. Our recap:

The House could vote on this as soon as this evening. Watch and then call your reps!

This is not a budget—it’s a blueprint for suffering. One of the greatest heists in American history — as the GOP loots the federal treasury to give billionaires permanent tax breaks at the direct expense of the American people.

Donald Trump’s latest press conference from the Oval Office was a disaster from start to finish. Trump admitted his tariffs will raise praises, fawned over Putin, and spread even more deranged lies.

The Danielle Sassoon letter to AG Bondi is wow. If you have a tip about what’s going on in DOJ/SDNY, I can be reached on Signal at annabower.24 Read the letter: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Veterans Housing Education Energy Small Business These are the agencies Elon Musk is actively gutting. Firing thousands—while he rakes in federal contracts and the GOP prepares a massive tax break for the ultra rich. This is not government efficiency. This is a heist.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump each announce their agreement to pause tariffs for a month. Sheinbaum beat Trump to alerting the public. You can see what Trump left out of his message.

the point is not that it's fast -- the point it that it's systematic. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/o...
