I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

"Earlier this year, the Air Force revealed that the general who oversaw its lobbying before Congress had inappropriate romantic relationships with 5 women ... one woman whose relationship with Finerty was scrutinized by the inspector general was Joni Ernst"

Imagine a Democrat saying that maybe the veterans they fired without cause “perhaps aren’t fit to have a job,” and then expecting that Democrat to face zero consequences in the press or at the ballot box. That even the thought of this is impossible should tell you where we are right now.

Kernen to Lutnick: When you talk about fentanyl and Canada, it sounds like an excuse. 43 pounds came across the Canadian border last year versus 21,148 pounds from Mexico. So it is really fentanyl?

This is amazing. Also, Bartiromo can barely move her face.

Grimly hilarious coming from Alina Habba, a parking garage lawyer who should have been disbarred long ago, but failed upward into representing Trump.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

So much winning

Trump is running the U.S. economy straight over the cliff.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

I do Nazi the stock recovering anytime soon

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

My latest. I bring receipts. Please read and share. "President Putin Occupies The White House" open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Sigh. Less than 10 minutes after publishing this article, I had to go back and edit it to add that U.S. is now suspending all military aid to Ukraine. I mean, it supports my piece and thesis, but I I wish was wrong.

The National Science Foundation is now scrambling to rehire 84 people it fired -- with some learning about this not from NSF but from coworkers or via the press. “What a joke, finding out from colleagues and online – and not directly." www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Imagine having the chutzpah to say you're standing up to kleptocracy as you (a) aid Russia and (b) push Trump to pump government $ into your shitty crypto investments

COLLINS: Who do you blame for the war? CHIP ROY: It began on Joe Biden's watch COLLINS: Wait, you blame Joe Biden for the war? ROY: This all started under Joe Biden COLLINS: Putin started this war

Leavitt: "Your audience should be aware that tonight -- 12:01am -- tariffs on Mexico and China are going into effect and another 10%, uh, another 10% on China, 25% on Mexico, 25% on Canada. And the reason is because we cannot continue to allow fentanyl to pour into our country."

Wow. Insanity. This was a state court prosecution.

"In a personalist dictatorship, the tyrant usually tries to destroy as many institutions as possible because they’re constraints on his power."

The average American voter genuinely did not understand who Trump was after his first term, because the legacy Republicans staffing his administration largely managed to confine his reputation to "Average Republican plus mean tweets". There was also an astonishing degree of mass amnesia about 2020.

Call your Reps & Senators on Tuesday. Tell them your views on the President acting lawlessly to thwart appropriations passed by Congress. Call them: 202-224-3121

Snow donut/wedding cake demise:(

Same.

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."

Note here that Musk is now literally assigning himself new contracts based on the use of his DOGE wrecking crew and the associated micro-bros. this isn't a "conflict of interest". it's just handing yourself federal money www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

So she has something in common with Putin.

We have really become a profoundly stupid country to elect so many posers like this. She has played this game a dozen times on bills. All the usual suspects squawk & whine & cry before they do in the end what they were going to do from the beginning. They crave drama & attention.

Here we go... Pritzker raises the threat to a reality-based level.

This is an anticipatory deflection when you know that what’s coming isn’t helpful. Don’t look at what’s right in front of you - look at this shiny object over here.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

Every time a Republican utters the phony ‘waste, fraud & abuse’ talking point, they should be confronted with key fact noted by Aaron here that ‘fraud is really just spending I don’t agree with.’ Call out the musk/maga scam.

Well, it has to be said—when the abyss starts throwing parties, you know we’ve passed the point of mere moral collapse and entered the realm of full-blown dystopian farce.

Dear world: many many many of us are appalled and mortified and in despair over this. Please try to remember that.

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

For no reason in particular, I’m wondering whether the New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell is okay with this.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
