This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Nikolay Patrushev: To achieve success in the election, Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations....he will be obliged to fulfill them. CNN: Why the US president would choose the Kremlin over America’s traditional partners remains the subject of intense speculation.

So two DOGEbros now embedded at IRS are, according to WAPO, finalizing an 'omnibus agreement' for IRS to share Americans' individual tax data with officials across the US govt, something that would appear to be plainly illegal. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

"Hello? Pro shop? Tell the members I won another club championship."

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Dana Bash just blamed Zelensky for what happened today in the Oval Office. "It could have ended if Zelensky hadn't responded. But he took the bait." @cnn.com should be ashamed. Abhorrent.

“The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it. They worship money and power and death.” —Hunter S. Thompson

The queen of alliterative insults.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

are we allowed to point out they're targeting women and minorities then replacing them with unqualified white men or is that woke DEI

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

🚨BREAKING: We closed down Tesla in NYC Well we, went down to the rich man's house and we 🎶 Took back what he stole from us Took back our dignity Took back our humanity 📣Resistance Revival Chorus Thank you to everyone who joined us. PEOPLE POWER⚡️ #TeslaTakedown #StoptheCoup #Resist

500 people protesting at Tesla downtown Manhattan. They got inside, occupied, with "Nazi" signs. Not a good week for Tesla. finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-j...

We had a four-year-old telling Trump he's not the president and that he should shut his mouth while wiping boogers all over the Resolute Desk. One might say that was disrespectful.

Don't ever tell me pressure doesn't work. Every little bit counts.

#Florida you can put a stopper in the administration of insanity, VOTE VOTE VOTE on April 1 #voteblue #resist

A Trump adviser said a Voice of America reporter was “treasonous.” Now the reporter has been put on leave, pending an investigation. And articles have been watered down to remove criticism of the president. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/b...

Slava, Ukraine! 🇺🇦 Wish we had a leader like Zelensky. What an embarrassing display by the Russians, I mean, Trump and Vance.

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy. Let that sink in.

Today's Trump/Vance meeting with Zelensky was shameful, but let's not miss the bigger picture: by dismantling our national security infrastructure and destroying our longstanding alliances, Americans are in much greater danger of a major attack against us. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

The two biggest tells that today's Trump press conference was deliberately staged were VP Vance was allowed to speak and verbally attack President Zelenskyy and the Associated Press and Reuters were not allowed to cover the press conference, but Russian State TV was.

"I gotta be honest, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other" - JD Vance in 2022. Explains a lot of today's behavior.

"Why don't you wear a suit?"

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

New Yorkers tend to associate book banning & anti-DEI bans etc with MAGA and supposedly backwards states like Louisiana, Florida, and Texas but the same backwards, censorial practices are flourishing here, even if the targeted ideas are (sometimes) different. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/n...

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Lots of "Very Serious People" don't want to admit what is plain and obvious and in front of our eyes and explains so much: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are two of the most ignorant and uninformed people to ever be allowed near public office anywhere in the western world. It's obvious to all of us.

This is evil. Pure evil.

Government time wasting, widespread inflation, thousands of layoffs, corporate price gouging, plummet stock market, it’s all because of them. They don’t care that the common American is suffering, they care about giving themselves tax breaks and government contracts. They do not care about you.

BREAKING Project 2025 leader and current OMB head Russ Vought directs all agencies to create plans for large-scale layoffs ("Reductions in Force") by March 13.

This is why cutting NP personnel is such a stupid idea. They have a tremendous economic advantage.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT
