What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

“Lee Dudek, the new acting Social Security Administration commissioner who was placed in the role by President Trump, in the Feb. 19 statement” said Musk, DOGE head, is lying. www.cbsnews.com/news/social-...

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Damn! Canadians aren’t messing around—they’re even pulling already imported alcohol off the shelves. We’re being erased, and I don’t blame them.

Shameless.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Hmmm. 2009. Not removed. 2022. Not removed. 2025. Removed. One of these is not like the other two ….

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Target’s prime demographic is college educated progressives in metropolitan areas. Brilliant decision, folks.

NEW: A former top Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official sued the Trump administration Tuesday claiming she was unlawfully fired without cause last month. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

💥 Last month, Trump's FCC opened an investigation into Comcast "under the banner of DEI." - CNN “Bullying is causing a lot of companies to reassess,” says Vernā Myers, former head of inclusion at Netflix Comcast is maintaining its publicly stated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)

The first episode of More to the Story is here!!🎙️ Host @alletson.bsky.social talks to the lead investigator of the Jan. 6 committee about the sweeping effects of Trump's pardons—and watching the investigation getting fundamentally rewritten. apple.co/41JeEBG

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I don't think there's precedent for this level of open corruption at the federal level, certainly not in the last 100+ years.

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

Please fold this into stories about Trump’s little performance yesterday.

This is stunning, and stunningly appropriate.

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, Tesla, alleging it allowed "severe racial harassment" of Black employees including “frequent direct verbal racial attacks” and the “constant presence of racist graffiti evocative of lynchings.” Every story about these cuts should say that.

Brutal.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

More class in his pinky than Trump has shown his entire life.

The new WH Press Corps allowed to ask questions of Trump & Zelensky.

TODAY…

I want everyone to know that screaming match in the Oval Was all for Russia TV that was there

The Verizon lawsuit against Musk is going to be epic.

Veterans Crisis Line workers have been fired. Suicide prevention training is being canceled. The system meant to save lives is being gutted—because Trump and Musk care more about their war on government than they do about Veterans. DOGE screws Veterans!

this degenerate clown's micro-bros have spent the last month sending emails to the PRESENT air traffic controllers begging, pestering, and trying to threaten them into resigning their jobs. and now this ...

Just want to reiterate it is NOT NORMAL FOR THE WORLD'S RICHEST MAN WHO HAS NO OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ROLE TO ADDRESS THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET. And, also, casually joke about accidentally cutting Ebola prevention for a hot minute.

DOGE quietly deleted the 5 biggest spending cuts it celebrated last week: * An $8 billion cut at ICE was actually $8 million * Three $655 million cuts at USAID were actually a single cut counted three times * A $232 million cut at the SSA was actually $565,000 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

NEWS: The FDA abruptly canceled its upcoming advisory committee meeting to select the strains for next year's flu shot. by @berkeleyjr.bsky.social

If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We are in trouble.

RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.

FYI @cameronbarr.bsky.social is a man of ethics and quality and innovation. The kind Bezos is repelling now.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

BREAKING: Josh Shapiro just sued Donald Trump and won, unfreezing $2.1 billion in funds the administration tried to freeze. Another win for Democrats in the courts. Don’t let anyone tell you Donald Trump is unstoppable.
