As part of its filings & request for temporary restraining order against the White House tomorrow, attorneys for Associated Press have submitted to the court a copy of the letter written to the AP by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles Letter: "This is purely a privilege of access issue" ====>

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

While we are cutting costs it’s pretty clear that all of the Republicans in Congress could be very inexpensively replaced

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Finally using the “L” word. Let’s call things what they are. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Donald doesn't even know the difference between AfD and CDU. The U.S. is the truest example of a kakistocracy.

Main thing I'm taking from the German election result is that Musk and Vance support for the AfD made no positive difference whatsoever. In the current scheme of things that really matters.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Shortly after hanging the banner, the group sent out a statement: “The purpose of this exercise of free speech is to disrupt without violence and draw attention to the fact that public lands in the United States are under attack,” it reads.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

CNN plays a clip of Russian state TV praising Trump for being "in total alignment" with Putin

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

NEW: Two weeks ago gov't IT experts warned us that the worst case scenario would be if DOGE got full admin access to agency systems. We can report at at least one agency DOGE has unfettered "god mode" access. Our latest: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

FFS New York Times. They’re not *his generals. Unbelievable

Count me in.

I needed to hear this voice and these words at this moment. "This chapter will not be written simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office or wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, by we the people." Thank you, VP Kamala Harris. #NAACPImageAwards youtu.be/bnmKwxjMKgs?...

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

NEW: Federal government employees are sending me ideas for how to respond to Musk's OPM "Five Bullets" email. My latest: #Emails2DOGE www.muellershewrote.com/p/federal-wo...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

It's week one for RFK Jr. as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and he's wondering if those COVID deaths were actually deaths from chronic diseases. 🤦‍♂️

“Like how can you be a remotely competent historian without insisting upon a Great Man interpretation that actual historians rejected ages ago?”

I love the idea that the ketamine and video game junky with 13 (known) kids who posts 200 times a day and who works for the golfer in chief is worried that *other people* aren’t working hard enough.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

This is the first movement from Sen. Fetterman, please fill out immediately if you have been impacted. Please circulate Penn, Pitt, PSU, Temple etc @cbartman.bsky.social

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

Seen today in Lower Manhattan...

I literally reported this Wednesday.

On the one side, I do not love being a Jew in a country now ruled by explicit Nazis. On the other hand, this is all amazing ad footage for the Dems in 2026.

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

“I spent hours with him and walked with him thru Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, & shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it’s worse—he doesn’t care whatsoever…He was unmoved by the experience.”

Donald Trump has told Kristi Noem to spend $200 million of public funds on ads thanking him for "securing the border," North Korea-style www.semafor.com/article/02/1... www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...
