AMAZING TURNOUT FOR UKRAINE & DEMOCRACY TODAY! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

Neuroscientist Sarah Heilbronner is a proud product of Martin County schools in Florida 🌴. However, federal budget cuts threaten important work she's doing in brain research. 🧪🏠 @srheilbronner.bsky.social www.tcpalm.com/story/opinio...

End him!!

French President Emmanuel Macron today urged EU member states to agree on "massive, common funding" to unlock investments of hundreds of billions of euros for European defense and security.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

🗣️MUST-WATCH: “It will only take a few of you to protect it… WHERE DO YOU STAND?” A @RepHarshbarger constituent on Obamacare presses her to protect the health care of millions — as she pretends not to know Project 2025 is targeting it Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGsx4ck...

Democrats hold the line. Do NOT agree to fund DOGE.

The move consigns untold numbers of the world’s poorest children, refugees and other vulnerable people to death, according to several senior federal officials. Local authorities have already begun estimating a death toll in the hundreds of thousands. www.alternet.org/the-trump-ad...

For the first time in history, a world leader has been kicked out of the White House. It wasn’t a dictator, a monarch, a despot, or a brutal authoritarian. It was a democratically elected president fighting for western values and his nation’s sovereignty. The Founders wept.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Interesting. therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

📱Congressional switchboard is (202) 224-3121. We have a number of comments we’d like to share. HHS works for you! It’s funded by you!

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

“Sorry VP, sold out”— JD Vance met with pro-Ukraine protests as he tries to go skiing ⛷️ in Vermont

Trump's CFPB just dropped its lawsuits against: -Capital One, for cheating depositors out of $2B+ in interest -Rocket Homes, for providing kickbacks to agents and brokers -Vanderbilt Mortgage, for trapping customers in risky loans  It's open season for corporate crooks.

This guy is a lunatic. Like an actual psycho Christian Nationalist who states that witches have taken over NAS Coronado. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Zelensky's words won't leave my thoughts. 20,000 children abducted. Had their names and identities changed. "De-Ukrainianized". Folks, that's the straight up black and white text definition of "genocide". Look it up.

Exclusive: “Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon…” www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

"downsizes" is a weak way of saying "forced to cancel dozens of programs, which jeopardizes future STEM careers of talented undergrads" @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

NEW: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling that blocked key provisions of two Arizona voter suppression laws demanding documentary proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/umdJ-YmCI3Y

Hostile work environment.

Not even hiding it.

Land of the free…

Five former defense secretaries condemned Trump’s firing of senior military leaders as “reckless” and urged Congress to reject their replacements.

my reasonable centrist betters tell me that it is ridiculous to suggest that the trump administration is filled with segregationists but here again they are forcing out a high-ranking, high-preforming black woman for reasons www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/...

Europe needs to start making modified Iranian drones, as cheaply and as fast as possible. Put at least 1,000 per week in Kyiv's hands. The only way they can fight this fire is with fire.

This is straight out of project 2025

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

So classified documents going back into the Mar a Lago toilet?

Elon Musk’s penis rocket and exploding car companies have been given $38 billion in government funding, but he’s cutting funding for children’s cancer research, gutting the VA’s suicide prevention hotline and letting palettes of desperately needed food expire because it’s “wasteful spending.”

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

"Once again, Republicans are proving that their defining 2024 campaign theme - fighting for hardworking people and against the wealthy establishment - was a lie all along." A must-read piece on the crisis emerging for the GOP from @andrewbatesnc.bsky.social.

European leaders yesterday rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance subjected him to a tirade of withering and infantilizing abuse in the Oval Office.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

No more work-from-home, government workers, except for Kash Patel, who will run the FBI from Las Vegas www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
