BREAKING: Two-part video update on the Pinciples MAGA bomb threat. DC investigative teams are working on identifying who sent the threat. 1/

But this is not being proposed as a voluntary win-win deal. This is being imposed on Ukraine as a condition of not abandoning them to the wolves. It’s called extortion and it’s wrong.

Members of the military are supposed to be loyal to the Constitution, not the president. Changing that seems to have been the point of the Friday Night Massacre. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

Another department tells its employees to ignore Elon…

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

The EU stepping in when the Russian compromised leader of the United States won't.

Percy Shelley: I propose a ghost story contest! What is the SCARIEST story concept??? Mary Shelley: a guy creates another guy Byron: I don’t get it Mary Shelley: (*looks directly into the camera)

I have time. Explain it to me like I'm 5. 😠

Hitler destroyed German democracy in 53 days. We are on day 30. The purge of the military and FBI has commenced. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

This is where the CFPB (Consumers Financial Protection Bureau) would be of help to the consumer if Trump hadn't shut them down.

🎯

i do not understand what elon and trump would be doing differently if there weren’t themselves actual agents of beijing and moscow

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Meet our unqualified, drunk Secretary of Defense. “E pluris - E - help me out,” turning the crowd for the motto. Hegseth slurred his words while trying to recall the nation’s motto— E pluribus unum - to US troops. Out of many, one. www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

The Acting Solicitor General has notified Congress of DOJ's intent to ask #SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey's Executor—a major 1935 ruling upholding the independence of agencies like the FCC, FTC, NLRB, etc. fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldoc... Because *less* independence is what we need...

“…shockingly uncovered that Trump and his crony Musk illegally executed a revocation of $80 million in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NY City’s bank accounts late yesterday afternoon,” Lander said. “This is money …is now missing. nypost.com/2025/02/12/u...

Even if he didn’t have a kid who needs a miracle drug, he should care that other kids need miracle drugs made possible by NIH. They all should.

At least 11 federal agencies targeted by the Trump-Musk firings and cuts “have more than 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints or enforcement actions into Mr. Musk’s six companies” per @nytimes

Good morning.. This NEVER gets too old!😂😂👇👇#eagles🦅

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

For those not familiar with how financial markets work, US Treasuries are the ultimate safe asset, used as collateral for everything. Even a hint that some Treasuries might not be honored could bring everything to a screeching halt 1/

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Gifting this article from WaPo. Please feel free to repost; it stays a free article no matter how many times it's reposted. Good luck, friends.

One of the most hopeful things I’ve seen all day is from the Meidas Network’s daily update: “Sen. Lisa Murkowski and many others say they have been beseiged by angry constituents: “The Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute. . .”

And just like that. DELETED. I’m telling you right now. I’m 80 years old and if I don’t get my Social Security check, which is the only thing I live on, you will be hearing from me.

Many Establishment Democrats and traditional media types said it was irresponsible to note that: 1. FAA employees had received illegal buyout offers from Musk; 2. The head of the FAA, a Republican, had been fired for being someone who stuck to rules even when they were violated by Musk;

A new message just appeared on the USAID website, announcing that all employees (with a few exceptions) worldwide will be placed on administrative leave. They are illegally shutting down a government agency. Where are all the GOP senators who said they support the work of USAID?

News from @stephenneukam.bsky.social: Senate Democrats will hold the Senate floor for the full 30 hours of debate over Russ Vought’s nomination. They’ll hold the floor Wednesday evening into Thursday morning. You did this, y’all.

Rumors are flying that Musk and his DOGE dickheads have appeared at the Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in DC. They are about to fuck 16 million veterans.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

If Edward Snowden and Russian state media are pushing for Tulsi Gabbard to be confirmed by the Senate as DNI... Then you know she shouldn't be.

You did not vote to give Elon Musk your social security number. We must go to the courts (that’s in the works) and use the leverage House Democrats have to stop this madness. Republicans can’t pass anything without us. Let’s flex.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

I logged into SSA.gov and downloaded the history of social security and Medicare payments associated with my account, because who knows what is going to happen to government security.

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

Members of Congress going into the US Agency for International Development!
