They are looting taxpayer funds and crashing the economy

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that ANYONE who can't easily admit that Russia invaded Ukraine is a Putin bootlicker, a Russian stooge, and a moronic fucking asshole. Russia invaded Ukraine, folks. PERIOD. h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

Has Adrien Brody stopped talking yet?

Certainly not the biggest thing, but Chalamet got screwed.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

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

Musk has ordered all Americans to email him what you will sacrifice so rich people can receive tax cuts. If he does not hear from you by the end of today you will be eliminated.

Rebecca Solnit’s newsletter is free but I pay bc etc etc etc. But it heartens and hardens me with each installment.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGg7cr0...

The Reader's long-running music-news column, Gossip Wolf, is missing from this week's issue. It's not dead—Leor Galil is just on leave. But we have almost no freelance budget, so I can't replace his work. Please pitch in if you can! And even if you can't, please repost. donorbox.org/save-the-chi...

Good morning. The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics. All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

The United States no longer stands for freedom.

Musk bought our country for $277 million, way cheaper than it costs to buy one pro sports team.

Sima Cunningham Feb. 21 at Robert's Westside. What a wonderful first-night residency performance from the member of Finom. Unlike Finom, it was a country-ish singer-songwriter presentation. Cunningham comfortably commanded the room with artistry and grace and purity of intention -- and even piano.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

11 year old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza of Gainesville, Texas, took her own life after classmates bullied her into thinking ICE was being called on her family. I hope and pray that the parents of her bullies burn in hell for raising such God awful “children.”

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

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”

Elon Musk is trying to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because he wants to steal from the American people.

💯🏈

Democrats, let AOC lead the resistance.

Members of Congress have just been denied entrance to the Treasury building. The American people deserve to know what President Musk is doing with our money. We’re rallying with @moveon.org — follow along live.

A white South African billionaire has taken control of the US Government and is using it to punish South Africa for ending apartheid www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

JUST IN: The Pentagon is making changes to the resident Press Corps (journalists who have physical workspaces in the building), per BNO: OUT: New York Times, NBC News, NPR, Politico IN: New York Post, OANN, Breitbart, HuffPost

Before yesterday's crash, President Trump: - Fired the heads of the TSA and the Coast Guard - Pushed out the head of the FAA — leaving no one in charge - Gutted a key aviation safety group - Pushed air traffic controllers to quit as he purges the government He's putting Americans in danger.

Stop cancer research. Give the rich tax cuts. On brand for the new United States.
