SCOOP: Ashley St Clair sues Elon Musk for custody of new son. Musk is pictured with his latest baby in a lawsuit filed by St Clair, seeking sole custody and paternity. www.usermag.co/p/scoop-ashl...

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

More CFPB news: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's employees have been told that the bureau's Washington HQ lease is cancelled and the agency has 30 days to vacate the building www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

So much evil in one photo it is actually staggering

Want to know what the DNC is doing? Mainstream media will not report this. Here is what they did today.

Trump and his allies are pushing the limits—are we in a constitutional crisis? Plus, how Trump’s firing of inspectors general is backfiring, DOJ's Eric Adams dismissal, and a bizarre announcement from AG Pam Bondi. Watch Legal AF live at 8p ET/5p PT!

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory I receive a daily email from the New England Journal of Medicine. It now has many articles on how the medical community will cope without the CDC, NIH, etc. How they'll provide care to oppressed individuals. How they'll survive cuts to DEI programs. It's sad.

Are you guys watching President Musk in the oval office? Trump is sitting by impotently while Musk holds court.

Not a drag queen

Trump is making another 911 more likely. His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos. Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.

DOGE came for the research and statistics arm of the U.S. Department of Education today, declared "fraud" and "waste" and abruptly terminated about $900M in contracts. A lot of what we know about America's schools comes from the data this agency collects. New reporting with @jodiscohen.bsky.social

The U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have removed all web pages highlighting women’s military service. Weak men always fear and are threatened by strong women. I’ll never regret voting for VP Kamala Harris.

Wait … they … 𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 ???

“This abrupt change..will have devastating consequences on medical science. Many people will lose jobs, clinical trials will halt, and this will slow down progress toward cures for cancer and effective prevention of illness” “A sane government would never do this” apple.news/AuphtalGfSpy...

Oh! I know the answer! It's moral cowardice. apnews.com/article/trum...

This one needs to read the Constitution. Money doesn’t erase it.

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Medicaid currently insures and protects nearly 80 million Americans. Trump and Musk are pushing a terrifying agenda to gut Medicaid — to feed the insatiable greed of the most privileged in America. Trump’s tax cuts will deliver the greatest benefit to the wealthiest 5 percent of…

Founded in response to the 2007 financial crash, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has delivered $21 billion back into Americans’ pocketbooks by cracking down on payday lenders, overdraft fees, canceled debts, and more. (1/2)

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

Tulsi Gabbard could be confirmed this week. Now more than ever we need to urge senators to vote NO on this unqualified nominee. She should not be Director of National Intelligence.

THEY WANT TO FUCK THE ECONOMY. WE CAN FREEZE IT. I’m in. #RESIST

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.

She speaks truth.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Darwin's Waiting Room starts to figure it out: www.al.com/news/2025/02...

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Mr. Benjamin Banneker (1731-?) was an inventor who created the first known clock in the US. He was also a mathematician, astronomer, writer, and land surveyor. Mr. Banneker taught himself advanced math from borrowed textbooks. He was a genius. #BlackHistoryMonth

We know what’s going on here.

A statement from the Kennedy Center

"Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even ‘read only,’ likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.” From a Treasury threat intelligence dept email www.wired.com/story/treasu...

⚡️ The historic moment of Estonia leaving the Russian-fed power grid. On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia left Russia and Belarus energy system. By the end of the day today, they will have joined the European grid.

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Trust me, bro.

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

MIKE LUCKOVICH APPRECIATION POST @mluckovich.bsky.social is one of the greatest political cartoonists of all time. Thank you for 3 decades of scathing satire, remarkable insight and helping us all laugh to avoid weeping openly. 🙏 Your longtime fan, Mar🐫

Doctors and nurses, this is for you. When ICE is trying to raid your hospital, or when your hospital executives are telling you to end programs addressing racial and gender health inequalities or telling you to stop providing trans or abortion care—please, please disobey. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Newly confirmed OMB Director Russell Vought has strongly implied that his strategy “is to instill fear in the Supreme Court that the presidency is prepared to resort to outright defiance of its decisions.” executivefunctions.substack.com/p/the-trump-...
