A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.”

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

This is definitely tax evasion!

President Trump’s purge at the Pentagon is a major step toward creating an officer corps personally and absolutely loyal to him, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/3oq1fmSh

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

He nails it.

Thanks to a loud public outcry and a relentless media campaign from outdoors influencers the Trump administration is reversing its plan to eliminate thousands of national parks jobs. Amazing work everyone. Keep speaking up, it matters!

Democratic AGs win preliminary injunction against DOGE access to Treasury payment systems kentuckylantern.com/2025/02/22/r...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are waging an attack on American consumers — we won't stand quietly by.

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.

How to find climate data and science the Trump administration doesn’t want you to see

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

This is how to do it. Civil disobedience, not just in words but in action. I am so proud of our former Minnesota Vikings punter.

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

Trump wants US diplomats to be in the dark about what is happening around them. Idiotic and dangerous. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Every Republican voted to advance the nomination of Kash Patel, who is quite open that he wants to weaponize the FBI against Trump's opponents. www.reuters.com/world/us/sen...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau makes sure you don't get scammed by digital payment companies and car lenders. Elon Musk’s role as CEO of X Money and Tesla makes DOGE’s takeover of the CFPB a clear conflict of interest. @schiff.senate.gov and I are pressing for answers.

Gen Z and Millennials - WAKE THE FUCK UP. It’s your turn to lead. We Boomers fought figuratively and literally for Civil Rights and against the Vietnam War. And, we WON. Here is a guide with a wide range of useful strategies to stop #PresidentFullofShiticus and his co-president #PresidentMusk

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

“By visiting his for-profit businesses roughly a third of his days in office, Trump is directing government spending to follow him there, and profiting off the trip.” www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws. In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are putting your Social Security checks at risk.

Guess what! Pressuring your professional orgs WORKS! In an act of apparent anticipatory obedience, AGU quietly took down their DEI pages. Its members noticed and collectively spread the word and applied pressure—a few days later, the pages returned. #ScienceNotSilence 🧪 bsky.app/profile/cele...

This is what oligarchy looks like.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

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.

A federal judge in New York extended a temporary order Friday blocking billionaire Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Department of Treasury’s payment systems that track, disburse and collect trillions each year.

“As an advocate for democracy in general and the First Amendment in particular, the AP would be wrong to bend to Trump’s goofy edict,” writes The Salt Lake Tribune editorial board.

Sound the alarms. We cannot allow racists to rule the military. Where are the checks and balances? www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/...

This is ballgame on the First Amendment unless there is immediate action by news media, Congress, the courts & the public to condemn & prohibt this www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/m...

"As a 30-year #cybersecurity veteran, I find the activities of DOGE thus far concerning. Its broad mandate across government, seemingly nonexistent oversight, and the apparent lack of operational competence of its employees..."

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to drive a wrecking ball through our government. The people who will pay a real price are the hard-working families who are just trying to make it to the end of the month. We must use every tool to fight back.

“I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I called on Secretary Bessent to answer why and how he gave Elon Musk and his cronies permission to access government payment systems. The response back raises more questions than answers.

"Just last week, X made a deal with Visa to become a partner in its Money Account, a Venmo-like tool for peer-to-peer payments. He most certainly does not want an active consumer agency snooping around while he sets this up." prospect.org/economy/2025...

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

“Elon Musk’s influence appears unchecked,” @jonlemire.bsky.social writes. “But the Republican-controlled Congress has shown no desire so far to rein Musk in. There has never been a private citizen like him.”

This is funny

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
