I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race. I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

the Dow has now given back all gains made since November 5

Anonymous has entered the fight against fascism. They already took X down three times today. This should be fun to watch play out…

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

Yes

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

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.

So, actually, it always was Russia.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

It’s a cult.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

🤔

Volodoymyr Zelenskyy has BALLS! God I admire the Ukrainian people! youtube.com/shorts/85Wdd...

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

I repeat…

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Money talks

Captures it perfectly.

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

Cathy was on Jake Tapper talking about this. www.cnn.com/2025/02/11/p...

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

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

📌There has not been a president in my lifetime who has purposefully inflicted pain on people like this one. He is completely dead inside.

He had the nerve to visit Dachau and then meet with the leader of the neo-Nazi AfD in the same 24 hours. The gall of these people. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u...
