if only there were an agency charged with preventing shit like this that wasn’t under the thumb of the person running the very company that’s doing shit like this

Really helping that court case...

When a MAGA idiot thinks he can go up against Georgetown Jesuits 😂

“This is private, confidential data including Social Security numbers and earnings of virtually all people in the country...” "Federal law restricts access 'to authorized persons and... authorized purposes' such as child support enforcement..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

what an interesting bit of information found online

“The first two years of CIA officers’ careers are a time of intense training; the government spends large amounts of money to teach them spy tradecraft, languages and other skills. “Literally millions of dollars has been put into some of these employees,’ he said…” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...

Partially correct, there are great Dem consultants out there, but the powers that be in the Democratic Party are not listening to them.

"There is perhaps no one so emblematic of what 'justice' means to Donald Trump as Ed Martin, his US attorney for DC. Martin’s disdain for the rule of law is shockingly comprehensive, and he's already started turning the DC US attorney's office into a protection racket for Trump's cronies."

Apropos of everything, I still think a lot about how, in the moment, "When they go low, we go high," sounded fine... but it has since done irreparable damage to the opposition party's ability to conceive of other ways to fight. Maybe show us some of that "good trouble" they love to talk about.

“Is our children learning” - Dubaya Years later, MAGA idiots dismantle Dept. of Education. We’re all screwed.

Fucking bonkers

Fucking cowards @electdemocrats.bsky.social

I’m going to lose my shit. Fascists are literally killing people and dismantling our govt and Dems say this?!

Al Green in defense of Medicaid & Social Security.

Who the fuck were the 10 Dems who voted to censure?! Absolutely disgusting.

Did Putin stay back at the White House as the designated survivor?

Today the Trump administration listed *443* federal properties as available for sale, including landmark buildings like the Justice Department headquarters. This would represent a massive cut to the federal real estate portfolio and mean big changes for D.C. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

Not watching but absolutely disgusting behavior by these fascists. MTG was never kicked out.

Been watching the documentary Becoming Katherine Graham and woo lawdy how the Post has fallen….and frankly the political atmosphere in DC too.

wanna feel old? it used to be Crime AND Punishment

“Paid protesters” has been a reliable excuse for the right since the civil rights era. Segregationists claimed the high schoolers who desegregated Central High in Little Rock were paid to do so.

Excellent! Get loud!

Is that asteroid still on course to hit us

OK I try not to spend to much time on what the Dems in Congress are doing because they're clearly not ready to lead us in this moment but come on. Surely as America collapses you have something, anything, better than this to offer.

Can we set up the biggest Go Fund? Asking for all sane Americans. Also, fuck Putin.

The drunk who heads our Defense Department is systematically erasing women from the military. Photos and videos, gone. Documents related to the historic accomplishment of women, gone. Even the word “respect” — one of the Army’s seven core values — is being deleted. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The half an avocado I cut open and tried to save for later

🚨SPREAD THE WORD 🚨 Starting Monday 3/March, ICE activity expected in Northern VA (Arlington, Alexandria, Annandale, Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun) & surrounding areas that could result in several arrests. Please be aware of your surroundings, tell your friends/family too.

I love this for him.

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers

When will Americans wake up to the fact that Republicans/MAGA are not only Putin’s assets but also domestic terrorists? Don’t say that lightly. It’s blatantly obvious now.

THIS is why Democratic leaders must be replaced sooner rather than later. 9:42 AM: Amy Klobuchar posts a photo with Lindsey Graham bragging about her "bipartisan meeting" and how they "stand with Ukraine" 1:40 PM: Lindsey Graham is on Fox News "trashing Zelenskyy and praising Trump and Vance"

Quite hard to describe massive cuts at Social Security Admin plus cancelling (without explanation) the flu vaccine committee meeting as anything other than an intentional financial, physical, and psychological attack on everyone over 65 years old. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

All the Democrats have to do is vote “no” on everything proposed by the self styled “king” of America. And even that low bar they cannot jump over. It’s fucking pathetic. #NOKING
