Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

I Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Why Elon Musk Wants a Recession Musk doesn’t fear a recession—he’s creating one. When the economy crashes, billionaires like him get richer. ➡️ Lower wages, weaker unions – Desperate workers = cheap labor. ➡️ Stock buybacks – He’ll grab Tesla shares at a discount.🧵

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

"The Mob," New Jersey, 1961 Walter Chandoha was called the Richard Avedon of Cat Photography. Over the course of his decades-long career he created over 90,000 images of cats. They appeared in magazines, on the cans of cat food, in calendars & his books. "The Mob" is one of his most famous photos.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

You know how you go to Target to buy one thing and end up spending $50? Turns out they solved that problem. #DEI

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

💀 A helluva political cartoon from Portuguese artist Zez Vaz:

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Right?

ICYMI: My conversation with @paoramos.bsky.social on Trump’s use of Guantanamo Bay to hold detained migrants. www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

Bukele, who once described himself as the “world’s coolest dictator ,” offers to jail violent American criminals. A reminder that there have been serious civil rights & human rights violations in El Salvador throughout Bukele’s “ war on gangs” & mass incarceration efforts.

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow. You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

Dear Captain, hope your Celebration has been great. Thanks for everything. We appreciate you. Here’s your girl. Let’s see if BSky slaps a label on it? Have another of her to send, it’s backless, they’ll most likely cover it. Nothing bad! Just there’s real #censorship here. @tonyhq1985.bsky.social

It’s very important that students be safely allowed to learn about apolitical things like Nazism or the Confederacy while not having an extremist agenda pushed on them like “every human being has dignity and worth”

I thought they were all self-made rugged individualists who didn’t rely on socialism.

god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick

A retired general knows what he's talking about when he tells you that USAID does valuable work in America's national interest.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

“this is not a time for political theater” Said without irony by the “Jewish space lasers” congresswoman

It feels very weird to get a letter asking for donations to the hospital when I’m still paying off my bill from one overnight stay over a year ago…

🤔

It's day 22 and he still doesn't have a plan to lower your prices.

“Do your JOB!! DO something!!!! … thank you very much have a great day” my dumb ass leaving voicemails for my senators

Always be your true self. If the timid townsfolk cower behind closed doors as you shamble past covered in moss, daggers, and malice, so be it.

"I will bring down inflation on day one." 😂😂😂😂

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
