He nails it.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Great point.

A great website tracking all the companies that have bent the knee to Trump and eliminated their DEI programs, and all the companies that have stood strong. www.dei.watch

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA. It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

True.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Americans seem really cool that Elon Musk has effectively bought the US presidency for $300 million. He isn't elected and he has access to our private information and America's financial data now.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Fanone: There’s a lot of John Fettermans in the world and unfortunately, that’s why we’re in the predicament that we’re in

Ross William Ulbricht stole hundreds of millions of dollars & ran a massive dark web narcotics enterprise as the drug epidemic destroyed our communities. He was duly convicted. Trump just gave him a full & unconditional pardon. Remember this when Trump blames immigrants for drugs & economic harm.

Elon Musk biographer here. The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now. Publicly. Daily. The Post either knows this or should not be in business.

Wild. Top is the NBC upload, bottom is the one aired as the live feed

It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

In case you need it, here are the parameters for a salute vs. a non-salute.

The right-wing ecosystem is something. So powerful and so overwhelming. MAGA sadly is a cult. They are spinning Musk's salutes in the most comical and absurd ways. It's like they should audition for Cirque de Soleil with these amazing pretzel logic twists. We've lost them all for a generation.

If Republicans are OK with the "Roman Salute" that Musk did then please start using it from now. Exactly how he did it. Begin your press conferences this way. Your Youtube shows. Go for it. Do it in Europe when you're traveling.

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

The entire nation of Australia gets it. Media in that country are having to blur what Elon Musk did twice in public today because of laws there regarding the Nazi salute.

Yep. That sums it up. Catch up now with our daily bulletin 👉 www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

Get a load of how CNBC is covering the Trump memecoin grift. Watching this, you'd have no idea how egregiously corrupt it is. Total normalization.

Obama’s inauguration - 28 degrees I’m going to leave this here ALL day Jan. 20 …..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

If you’re wondering how Hitler had the support of millions of Germans and the church you’re watching how in real time.

Just had to post this because it seems so appropriate for anyone in DC right now. Wish I could get the Village People to sing it during the inauguration 😂 youtu.be/surb8FzjWfg?...

Um. What did I just watch?

Remember this, X, Threads, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have all kissed the ring of darkness. BlueSky is our only social media salvation. We must protect it. 🦋

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Justice is coming... eventually. ⚖️ #MartinLutherKingDay2025

They stand only for whatever Trump says.

BREAKING: The convicted felon who incited this January 6th insurrection just took an oath that he has no intention of keeping. Today is a day of mourning for America.
