The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

“In 2011, Mel Gibson pleaded guilty to battering his former romantic partner, who reported he hit her while holding their baby & broke her teeth. Shortly after I informed the deputy attorney general’s staff that I could not recommend rearming this particular bully, I received my termination notice.”

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social: "I continue to think that we are in the middle of a soft coup. The military is not out on the streets...But what we are seeing is someone who is attacking all of the norms and institutions of government." Watch the full interview: youtu.be/wL04uJ9W5kM

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

The richest man in the world has seized control of federal spending and is demonstrably lying to the whole cabinet on television.

So much for government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

An appropriate limerick for our times: There was a young lady from Niger Who smiled as she rode on a tiger; They returned from the ride With the lady inside, And the smile on the face of the tiger.

"Sure, tell me Trump isn’t working for Putin. Tell me he’s not a Russian asset. Go ahead."

There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws. In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

An important point to keep in mind.

🚨 Update: we were able to track down Yesenia, the mother picked up with her 2 kids in Tucson. After a night of interrogation at Border Patrol station, the Venezuelan mother of 4 was deported to Mexico. Her husband and two of her kids remain in US. azluminaria.org/2025/02/16/v...

Basic research drives applied research and ultimately commercial activities. The NASA Spinoff report, released yearly since 1976, is a great way to learn about some of these advances, at least for space science. 🧪 #planetsci ntts-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/t2p/prod/spi...

Is law an honorable profession? We think so.

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…
