This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

Supreme Court Delivers Trump A LOSS In First Case to Make It Up To The High Court! youtu.be/0fbcFjbZTds?...

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Housing first is a proven method to combat crime. We often fail to mention that everyone has the right to live in a safe space. Never forget your humanity

NEW: In a win for democracy, the U.S. Supreme Court paused an emergency request from Trump and allowed the head of the whistleblower agency to remain in office until a Feb. 26 hearing.

4 ex-Dem grifters who all came to realize the Dems weren't gullible enough.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Extortion, pure and simple.

Since taking office, Trump has been trying to advance the unitary executive theory, a fringe legal theory that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

Judge Dale Ho Says NO to Trump's DOJ Trying to Dismiss Eric Adams' Criminal Case.

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

“This Week in Democracy: Week 5 – The 'King' Purges His Generals” Read and share the latest from Zeteo's project to document the ongoing, week-by-week growth of authoritarianism in the Trump second term:

Trump just deputized unelected billionaire Elon Musk's private bodyguards, giving them rights and protections reserved for federal law enforcement. Are people still afraid to say the word "coup?" www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

It’s almost like these people were in the MCU Blip during Trump’s *first* term.

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

A NEW MARCH ON WASHINGTON, IN MARCH! FINALLY ONE THAT I CAN PLAN FOR! LET'S DO THIS PEOPLE. FLOOD THE STREETS!! #14thNOW #PROTEST

Mitch is one of the singular villains of American history, personally responsible for the destruction of our democracy and our government at a level above anyone save Trump himself he is a vile man on the level of John Calhoun and should be remembered as such

Here’s how to determine if a computer algorithm has screwed you — and what to do to fight back.

As Trump leans into AI, automated systems are already ruining lives. A new organization is out to stop it.

I have been saying this for decades telling people the USA is the bad guy. We let corrupt politicians and their corporate masters get us into wars for that countries natural resources. Wake up the corporate coup is in its final stage for complete control.

Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous reports from the southern Lebanese village of Kfarkela, which is in ruins after Israeli troops withdrew on February 18. Every single structure has been completely destroyed or badly damaged. It is mostly just piles of rubble.

The DOJ is investigating UnitedHealthcare over billing fraud to funnel extra payments to Medicare Advantage plans, the Wall Street Journal reports. UnitedHealthcare shares have already dropped 9% since the story broke.

Rich McCormick was met with boos and jeers as "hundreds of critics" reportedly let him have it at the Georgia town hall event.

NEW from @crew.bsky.social: President Trump is poised to interfere in DC's local governance, making it clear why statehood for DC isn't just an issue of fairness. It's the clearest way to protect the 700,000 people of DC from federal overreach. www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysi...

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

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.

“Democratic leaders are caught between the demands of their donors and the needs of voters, which is why they sound incoherent (which is why) the average American probably can’t articulate what the Democratic Party even stands for.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0SL...

Some federal workers have started to express their grievances at Tesla locations. In San Francisco federal workers and others staged a protest against DOGE cuts outside a Tesla showroom. Musk and Trump have now laid off up to 220,000 federal employees. www.ktvu.com/news/federal...

A worker at Tesla's plant in Austin was electrocuted and died last summer. Now OSHA has cited Tesla for violating workplace safety rules. But the department isn't disclosing the nature of Tesla's safety failures or whether any penalties were imposed. www.reuters.com/business/aut...

ICE Prosecutor in Dallas Runs White Supremacist X Account www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

This is one of Musk's many goals. Kill workers in factories and control the regulator who's supposed to punish him.

fact check: since congestion pricing started, subway crime is down 36%.

So Mitch McConnell won't be seeking re-election next year. Good riddance. He and Merrick Garland share much of the blame for this neo-fascistic second Trump term.
