Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

It turns out that empowering the richest human being on the planet to maliciously and gratuitously heap additional misery on that planet’s most poor, hungry and desperate people might just pose a niggling political problem to President Donald Trump newrepublic.com/article/1915...

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

He nails it.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Don’t be fooled by the trumpery being broadcast in the so-called “news.” This chainsaw-wielding unhinged lunatic is your real president. He’s calling the shots. www.reuters.com/world/us/elo...

Accounting "errors" and "miscalculations" in the public ledgers? This is how they intend to obfuscate the fall of our democracy. Meanwhile, Elon is racking up millions in new contracts. Accountability is dead in the new regime. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

WELCOME TO FRIDAY GET TOGETHER 😎 LET'S KEEP FIGHTING FOR OUR DEMOCRACY 🇺🇲 💥LIKE 💥REPOST 🔊COMMENT & SHARE IDEAS

Maine Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump in a room full of reporters. Officials must keep showing people Trump is a weak tyrant. We need to show defiance collectively, because like all bullies, with pushback he will snap & break. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

They’re eating their own and I’m here for it

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

'There is going to be hell to pay' as the FBI braces for Kash Patel's retribution: reports: On Thursday, February 20 — before the U.S. Senate voted on President Donald Trump's nomination of Kash Patel for FBI director — a group of Democratic senators gathered outside the FBI building in Washington,…

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

The 'find out' phase is here.

Smoke and mirrors. Trump’s “mass deportation” isn’t happening. Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has arrested 14,000 unauthorized immigrants in the past three weeks. For comparison, the Biden administration rounded up 21,000 immigrants in November 2024 alone.

MAGA Trump loyalist Steve Bannon rips into Elon Musk: “Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”

Zelensky fires back at Trump for saying Ukraine “started” war with Russia: “Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect for him as the leader of a nation that we respect greatly…  is living in this disinformation bubble.”

Dialing it in. Trump has now spent one third of his second term presidency golfing.

They don’t even hide it anymore. Former top Trump aide and convicted felon Steve Bannon gives what looks like a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

So how much is D0GE *costing*? They leave that part out. In rehires? In re-work? In lost data? In law suits? In stalled advancements? In upcoming private contracts? In public trust? In talent? In international cooperation? How much time and money has D0GE *wasted*?

Former RNC Chair Michael Steele: “I never thought freedom for Ukraine could be extinguished at the hands of this generation of Republicans. Neither did our allies.” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Bannon denies making a Nazi salute but it was clear enough for Jordan Bardella, a leader of France’s far-right National Rally party who saw what Bannon did and canceled his speech at CPAC, citing the gesture as the reason. #USDemocracy apple.news/Abcph9h-CTMy...

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 years ago today. His words are as relevant as ever RIP 🖤

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?
