After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates. After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin. Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase. See how this works?

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file.

I love a good tour

I logged onto LinkedIn today expecting to see my feed filled with outrage from the lawyer connections I have – most of whom are former federal government attorneys who now work outside the federal government in private practice or in the private sector. Per a Tuesday Executive Order, /1

So he was drunk or lying.

Relieved to see more companies defending their diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. 💚

@stealthygeek.bsky.social: “Democrats should be running daily press briefings from a shadow White House pool of the legitimate news agencies which have been locked out by the Trump coup. Their audiences will get real news, Dems will regain some messaging control. Why is this not already happening?”

How can I be the only person using this hashtag?!?! #TheLastRepublicans

"Republican betrayal of the middle class…" The Democrats weekly press conference with a focus on the proposed budget.

"There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we sleep." #andor #starwars

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.

RIP to one of the bona fide greats

Breaking News: Scientists from the University of the Basque Country have discovered a groundbreaking molecule, WIN55.212-2, that reverses early cognitive damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

It was so wonderful visiting family and friends. Personal connection to those we love makes it all easier on the soul, a beautiful reminder of why the resistance, raising my voice, and continuing on is important. A reminder that reaching out, little joys, and LOVE are important parts of resistance.

Benefit concert for @oilchange.bsky.social with the incomparable Kronos Quartet, dance by Bandaloop, and yeah, me mc'ing. If you are or can be in Oakland April 19th and can swing a ticket, please come. secure.givelively.org/event/oil-ch...

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Alt National Park Service has always been incredible, but now they are one of my go to’s for info, action, and getting the pulse of federal workers. Highly suggest you follow.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Starting to think the right’s mEmE KiNg WhO LeGaLiZeD CoMedY is actually just a whiny little bitch with a fragile ego.

Welcome to affirmative action for white male mediocrity, which has a long, long history but is all ramped up and shouty and sulky right now.

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

happy friday! just leaving this here...

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I love this person so much. She, and others like her, keeps that ember of fighting spirt going in my soul when everything seems hellbent on putting it out. Thank you for speaking out, now time to go do another, even if small, thing.

White House Shares Photo of Donald Trump Dressed as a King

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about ‘credible death threats’ when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary."

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

My heart breaks for this family. I’m so, so sorry we didn’t do more to protect you. You deserved better.

It was perhaps fitting that Munich was the site of the Trump Administration’s dramatic appeasement of the Kremlin dictator, when the Vice President attacked our western allies, and the Defense Secretary weakened our NATO alliance. 🧵

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.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

The list just seems endless…

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

To those in red state Kentucky who voted for the orange felon, he has done literally everything but address your several days of dangerous flooding and has actually denied FEMA aid for other red states like Georgia. You chose cruelty and I hope he delivers what you wanted. FAFO.
