“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Shorter Emil Bove: Trump's way or the highway. The DOJ now effectively works for Donald Trump and not independently for the American people.

The Mississippi Legislature is NOT a "public body" and NOT subject to the Open Meetings Act under state law, a judge has ruled. That means a quorum of House Republicans will be able to continue to meet and make key legislative decisions in private. #MSLeg @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

U.S. District Court Judge Jia M. Cobb is holding a hearing in federal court Thursday morning in Washington on two lawsuits filed against the Justice Department to block the public release of names of FBI agents and other personnel who investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Elon Musk and elected officials have falsely said Politico was subsidized by the government. Turns out, government officials were just paying for subscriptions.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

The #NFL looks cowardly.

This is exactly why Biden preemptively pardoned so many people, including his son. He knew exactly what was coming.

Breaking news: President Donald Trump proposes permanent displacement of Gazans as he welcomes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, saying “they’d love” an option to resettle.

extremely chilling

Members of Congress were just denied entry to the Department of Treasury. This is a 5 alarm fire.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

If anyone knows of any extra-help, substitute librarian or library worker jobs (especially in the Bay Area) please kindly send them my way! (: I’ve applied to a couple of places, but either haven’t heard back or they went with someone else. Long live libraries! ✨💚📚

Musk knows the computers really well. What was Trump on about? #rigged #trumprally

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

Someone actually spent money to send mailers to North Jackson residents attacking our publication using the faces of our editor, @donnerkay.bsky.social, and reporter @nickjudin.bsky.social—and the names of some of our larger donors. We won't be intimated. Please follow and support MFP. 👇

Is it time to get rid of all Meta products?

Donald Trump’s lawyers have read special counsel Jack Smith’s draft report detailing the findings of his two investigations of the incoming president and are urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to fire Smith and block the report’s public release.

The entire community of Pacific Palisades is being told to “evacuate now” due to a rapidly spreading wildfire in the Los Angeles area

Ever ever.
