I’ll never get over the fact that Elon Musk enriched himself off American taxpayers and now is paying the country back by arrogantly working to destroy the lives of public servants and the government that made him.

The Orange Monster is with rapid speed completing his goal of isolating and dictating to destroy America. If you are NOT frightened and screaming from rooftops you either have your head buried in quicksand, are living in another country or are dead.

Told ya. They're going to privatize everything but still make you pay federal taxes so they don't have to. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I felt my heart stir when Representative Green stood up and refused to sit down during the speech last night. It's time Democrats remember the concept of "good trouble" and stop obeying in advance. Make them reveal themselves for the monsters they are.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

"None of the employees with security clearances for nuclear secrets were properly debriefed, the current DOE source said... "Those employees could be targeted by foreign adversaries for nuclear espionage... "They have lost their source of income..." www.reuters.com/world/us/fir...

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record) I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

"We have decided to increase funding for the production of tanks and helicopters in Europe. Next week, France will gather the chiefs of staff of countries ready to guarantee future peace in Ukraine." "The future of Europe will not be decided in Washington or Moscow." — Macron. #StandWithUkraine

“Fully unwinding the department would require a filibuster-proof, 60-vote majority in the Senate, legal experts have said…The draft order doesn’t mention Congress.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.” Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

Trump's tariffs could trigger an escalation of taxes for goods that travel between Mexico, the US, and Canada. American consumers will likely pay the price, especially for automotive and electrical purchases that come from Mexico. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/how-tr...

This speech cannot be fact-checked, because he is 25 minutes in and has yet to say a single honest or accurate thing Even the fact-check so far would take hours

FACT - every single Republican member of the House clapping for Trump right now has been ordered to STOP holding any Town Hall meetings in their districts They're hiding from you They know they're not doing a good job They've forgotten who they work for -- time to remind them

Name one thing Trump has done for the good of the country to make lives better.

The simple act of booing during Trump’s speech would go a lot farther than standing there in matching outfits or walking out. Stand your ground. Call a traitor a traitor and boo. Silent protest doesn’t work when their goal is to keep you silent. #3E #SOTU

Al Green understood the assignment

Thanks to the United States Supreme Court for convincing Donald Trump that he could pursue every dangerous, terrible idea and never face consequences.

Making car payment interest payments tax deductible is a genuinely insane policy proposal.

Elon Musk is the unelected bureaucratic I am worried about.

I honestly don’t understand how the Democrats can sit there and listen to Trump’s lies and gaslighting. Their silence is humiliating.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Tanking a 10+ year gaining economy in only 6 weeks has to be a record for any President

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

(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.

The Oval Office ambush was “Trump’s most visible effort…to dismantle the democratic bulwark against Russia & cede power to a murderous thug who hungers to rebuild the Soviet empire. So many of us have refused or only reluctantly opened our eyes to the menace.” www.americaamerica.news/p/as-trump-w...

Somehow feel certain that the story lines of “where’s the Fort Knox gold?!?” and “let me show you this crypto reserve” are going to have a cliffhanger crossover event

Seems like Hegseth's Stand Down Our Defenses Against Russia order should be getting a bit more attention.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

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.

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

I would really love to hear from absolutely anyone why billionaires need tax cuts more than children need food. Go on. Explain.

$19,000,000,000,000.00

This is the way.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

I heart Tina Smith.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

@rbreich.bsky.social: “For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.”
