😕

she is right

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

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

Just did it myself. Just because.

Fun fact: You can go to the App Store right now and give Google Maps one star. apps.apple.com/us/app/googl...

Have a look at the map below and call or write your elected representatives about how much money your state stands to lose with the NIH’s IDC rate cap at 15%. For Arizona, it’s $43,881,528. That kind of cheddar might just wake up a few Republicans.

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

if you live somewhere that has a Democratic Senator, you should be calling them and demanding these three things from them: -no more appointees -no more unanimous consent -do everything in your power to make GOP officials' lives annoying

The CDC apparently posted and then removed data that indicated that bird flu may have been transmitted between cats and humans. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

“DEMOCRATS NEED TO ACT LIKE OUR DEMOCRACY IS WEEKS AWAY FROM DISINTEGRATING—BECAUSE IT IS.”

After declaring that all Palestinians should be removed from Gaza and that the US should take "ownership" of the strip, Trump issues an executive order ending US funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

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.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

She did it!!!❤️

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

PLEASE SHARE 🧪‼️ Since CDC websites and datasets are being taken down by the Administration… The ENTIRE archive of ALL CDC datasets uploaded BEFORE January 28th, 2025 can be found here: archive.org/details/2025...

Cowardice

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury. Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk. Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

BREAKING: 88 FBI agents who worked on Trump cases were just physically escorted out of the Washington Field office per a source.

I've heard a number of people say, "I live in a safe blue district/state--there's no point in calling my reps since they're already on the right side." Yes, there is: You can call and insist that they be among the loudest voices on the issues you care about, since they can afford to be.

FACTS.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Celeste Ng provides the phone number to call Costco to weigh in with your support, and in the comments offers a suggested script for those looking for guidance.

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Calling members of Congress—particularly if they're your members, and in a red or purple state/district—really does matter.

With the price of coffee and eggs going up, looks like we swapped a War on Christmas for a War on Breakfast

Lloyd Austin was confirmed 93–2. Mark Esper was confirmed 90–8. James Mattis was confirmed 98–1. Ashton Carter was confirmed 93–5. Leon Panetta was confirmed 100–0. Robert Gates was confirmed 95–2. Pete Hegseth will likely be confirmed at 50-50. Most unqualified nominee in American history.

About 75% of immigrant farm workers did not show up for work this week in Bakersfield, California, as the threat of Trump’s immigration raids looms.

For the first time in its more than 60-year history, the CDC's Weekly Report did not go out as scheduled "This is a concerning precedent that public health messages won't be left to public health professionals and experts, and instead will be potentially controlled by politicians,"

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

No words.
