Wanted to come here to talk about sports, music, dogs etc but apparently not enough people know history so we decided to rerun the 1930s. I want to be governed not ruled. Ready for this fight.

It took a lot of stupid to get here but we did it in less than two months!

Trump's attacks on universities aren’t about combating anti-Semitism—they’re about silencing dissent. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and I break it down on the latest episode of #TheOathAndTheOffice. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I don’t know who our nominee is going to be in 2028 but I can tell you I won’t support any Democrat that refuses to promise investigations and prosecutions for the many crimes of this Administration. We’re not going to play this stupid game again of upholding “norms and traditions.” Period.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!! youtu.be/hycoCYenXls

To sum it up, the worst of us won. We are confronted every day by their never ending villainous behavior.

Hey Democratic Party, You ain’t raising money until you start raising hell. Sincerely, A Huge Portion of Your Supporters

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

🔥🔥🔥 I’m 80 years old. I decided to call #SocialSecurity “If you are calling about a disability application due to staffing reductions, our average processing time for disability applications is 200 to 230 days. The estimated hold time is greater than 120 minutes”

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

warner is 72 and has been serving in the senate since 2009. get him out

Let this sink in.

New Republican Plan: The best thing we can do right now is hide from our constituents.

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

US taxpayer money should not be used to buy crypto so Trump can enrich himself, family, & friends. Yet again, America needs Republicans in Congress to step up, show some courage, and denounce this scheme. Instead, they will remain silent and propose another bill to honor Trump.

A crypto national reserve is like a national reserve of Beanie Babies. It serves no function. There is no situation where it would be necessary. Except to move massive sums of taxpayer dollars to private interests in exchange for worthless garbage.

Breaking NYT: Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to halt offensive operations against Russia. The instructions have not been publicly explained. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

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?!

. @mcfaulmike.bsky.social : "All of our enemies throughout all of our history have been dictatorships. Our most enduring allies, our strongest allies, have always been democracies. And today our president wants to switch sides."

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

As the entire post WW II world order breaks down, "a member of the press" asks Zelensky about his outfit. Honestly. No *journalist* I know would ask Zelensky such a question. www.yahoo.com/news/no-suit...

We are here This ain’t the f-ing movies Bad guys can win.

🚨URGENT: Special elections are coming up in Florida’s congressional districts FL-01 and FL-06. However, many Democrats got purged from voter rolls. Verify your status NOW—either online or in person.

John Bolton on BBC just now: "I think we are in danger not just of losing the NATO alliance [...] but practically every alliance around the world as our friends and allies look at this performance and wonder if there's anybody in this administration who understands what's at stake here."

My Anger Over Trump's Attack Today Is Boundless open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.
