Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

CNN’s latest poll shows a majority of Americans believe Trump has overstepped his presidential power and that it was a bad move to give Elon Musk a job reshaping the government.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

As if buying the presidency, shredding the Constitution & dismantling the federal government wasn’t enough, Elon Musk is now trying to oust progressive majority on Wisconsin Supreme Court. Plans for MAGA oligarchy extend well beyond Washington www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

@raskin.house.gov: "In that network of rightwing billionaire libertarian-turned-authoritarians, they are very open about the fact that they think democracy is obsolete, we're living in a post-Constitutional America, and they are trying to get everyone ready for a technostate monarchy."

Donald Trump needs to be impeached and removed! he needs to be stopped.

Donald Trump needs to be impeached and removed! he needs to be stopped.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

This is fascism.

I have fuccn thought. create teams to attack certain issues? each specialized group will fight to Squash! then keep going? fucc

Europe needs to back Ukraine with everything then freeze Trump out. Make him absolutely unimportant

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

"USAID workers and their families abroad had no agency help in fleeing after looters overran their homes in Kinshasa..." apnews.com/article/trum...

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 IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.

Senator Richard Durbin says he has info from "multiple sources" & meeting notes indicating that Kash Patel has secretly helped direct the FBI purge (via Stephen Miller to Emil Bove), and asked for an IG investigation. Says if true, Patel may have perjured himself. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

Rep. Riley Moore says Republicans are looking to pay for more tax cuts with cuts to mandatory spending -- that is, Social Security and Medicare

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha times infinity

For a quick sugar high to “own the libs,” the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldn’t be reversed for a generation. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...

If you’re a republican Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, I don’t ever want to hear a goddamn word out of your mouth about national security ever again.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

BREAKING: A federal judge has determined that the Trump administration is violating his order lifting the blanket spending freeze on federal grant programs. He is orderin gthe administration to immediately unfreeze funds, including for NIH and the IRA. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New: America faces it’s worst legitimation crisis in many decades, maybe ever. Democrats should take every opportunity available to communicate this to the public, but as a practical matter, the looming legislative budget deadlines are the whole ballgame. www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-...

The KC offensive line is just getting shellacked by that Philly D. Mahomes is gonna need some biofreeze on tonight. Damn.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Breaking "the government" and replacing the "deep state" civil servants with AI bots programmed by 20-something right wing Elon fanboys may sound like a great idea until it's time to eat an egg or a chicken sandwich without fear of getting sick, or deal with a hurricane or get on an airplane.

Republicans want to abolish the Department of Education. House Democrats will always defend our public schools.

@michaelsteele.bsky.social reacts to Trump dismissing the Kennedy Center board and installing himself as Chair.

New WaPo: Kash Patel, Trump's pick to be FBI director, was paid $25,000 last year by a film company owned by a Russian national who has produced programs promoting "deep state" conspiracies and anti-Western views advanced by the Kremlin. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

This exchange between @rokhanna.bsky.social & @jdvanceoffical.bsky.social raises a number of questions including: why does someone the vice president of the United States seems to label a “racist troll on the Internet” and a “kid” have access to the sensitive personal data of millions of Americans?

BREAKING: Citing potential “irreparable harm”, A judge has responded to a lawsuit by 19 states and halted access to Treasury Dept. Payments systems by Elon Musk’s Team

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this: Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

NEW: Last year, Kash Patel received $25,000 from a Russia-linked production company to participate in a documentary in which Patel blasted the FBI as "corrupt" www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Scoop from @davidcorn.bsky.social & @dfriedman.bsky.social, whose questions to Patel got no response.
