Elon Musk says federal workers must justify their work — or resign www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog... Like he would know.

Some Russian guy claims that the Tangerine Tyrant was recruited as a spy by the KGB in 1987. They gave him the nickname: Krasnov, meaning "the red one". Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Let's start calling him Krasnov from now on... Krasnov.

He nails it.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Trump's hostility toward Ukraine creates a conservative rift www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Are you feeling safer now since 'Daddy's home'? Pentagon lays off 5.4K civilian workers, with tens of thousands more firings due. Def-Sec Hegseth has supported cuts, posting on X last wk that the Pentagon needs to cut the fat (HQ) & grow the muscle (warfighters). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Found some waste, fraud and abuse: "We’re going to run a marketing campaign" "The ad campaign amounts to an extremely expensive taxpayer-funded propaganda blitz to scare off migrants and to flatter Trump on television." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The ketamine kid is as malign as his so-called boss. Running wild, trampling the Constitution, treating our govt & its work like some kind of game. The maturity of a 6 yr old.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

This is how it’s done.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Helpful explanations here. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

Turns out Musk and DOGE are wildly unpopular. Even Republicans are concerned that this unelected, foreign billionaire has too much influence on the White House. reut.rs/41t8XYQ

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... These firings they’re conducting without following the law will result in hundreds of thousands of former federal employees being owed back pay, plus interest, plus benefits, plus attorneys fees,” said Summerlin. “When the bill comes it will be monumental.”

2 of the worst people you know are fighting again🍿... Steve Bannon on Elon Musk: "Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.
