Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

The ripple effects of Trump's actions targeting specific law firms already are being felt beyond boardrooms, in declining interest in pro bono work for causes that are unpopular with the president.

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

“The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ‘anti-Christian bias’ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”

Every single one of these cowardly law firms is enabling the growth of fascist authoritarianism. Every. Single. One. They are accomplices of fascism.

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

1. EXCLUSIVE On Wednesday, the Social Security Administration secretly enacted a new policy to require 75K more people to visit field offices every week "The havoc and destruction they’re causing is no doubt going to break the agency and hurt the public," an SSA source said 🧵

Long Island. #NotMississippi

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

guys they're going to stop feeding TSA's bomb-sniffing dogs, per Fox News nat security correspondent:

So am I understanding correctly that the GOP threatened to defund DC of its own money if they didn't tear up the BLM thing And then DC tore up the BLM thing And now the GOP is defunding them anyway

Agencies are scrambling to meet a return-to-office mandate, but it’s getting costly and chaotic. Workers are being matched with odd spaces, including a shuttered sandwich shop, a storage facility and a closet.

If I weren't an American, I would not visit the United States right now.

Trans people have long warned that most of the victims of anti-trans laws and policies would be cis women and girls who don't have the "right look."

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Representatives of the U.S. DOGE Service have sought access to a powerful database of nearly all U.S. workers’ earnings kept by the health department’s child support office, setting off another disagreement with career staff over demands for legally protected records.

Trump: “I think Russia has been acting very well.” Russia:

On Tuesday, 21 DOGE employees resigned. NPR spoke to one of them who says she felt the new administration was causing "harm to the American people."

“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:
