A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Reuters is reporting that Ukraine has been notified that Elon will shut off Starlink access to Ukrainian Armed Forces unless Zelensky signs the rare earth minerals paperwork. 100% extortion.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

First day after a major storm disaster with fatalities & destruction across multiple states and Trump goes to a car race in Florida. Second day after a major disaster and Trump plays golf in FL. Dozens of posts about himself during that time. Not one word about the disaster.

I don’t understand why we are having all these negotiations with proxies in Saudi Arabia in mid-Feb when Trump said he was going to get Putin & Z in a room and have a deal done in 24 hours. It’s almost like he’s a bullshitter?

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
