Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare. newrepublic.com/post/191740/...

DOGE doesn't think America can afford providing telehealth for seniors, jobs for veterans, or Medicaid and Medicare. We can't afford writing that Social Security check. Yet, somehow we can give Musk $400 MILLION for militarized Cybertrucks. Flaming douche mobiles simply MUST litter the battlefield.

People across Washington State will see the effects of the Trump admin’s attacks on federal workers and funding in their daily lives. National parks will have to close. Social Security checks will arrive late. Cancer research will be slowed. It’s devastating for EVERYONE.

Always women standing up to him: Gov. Janet Mills told Trump to his face today that Maine will not comply with his executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

Dump predicts the end of Maine Gov. Janet Mills political career for opposing his order. “This is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law,” she said. 👏 www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

We honor Hero of the Resistance Janet Mills, currently Gov of Maine, for having the audacity to tell trump she will follow federal law:

Please join me in cheering Janet Mills, Maine's Governor, who supported trans kids' right to participate in sports against Trump's ban. Also, please call out the corporate media for not printing her name but referring to her only by her title in the headlines. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Did you guys see the governor of Maine talk back to Trump? Oh my God. Legend.

Gov Mills, Judge Reyes, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, and a few others keep hope alive for me. I hope we remember next time who is ACTUALLY standing up to fascism. These are the leaders we need and they all seem to have something in common.

Maine Governor Janet Mills is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Susan Collins. After taking on Donald Trump today, she’s shown that she has what it takes to win this race. ========================

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

I thought the Trump honeymoon would end in the Summer. I was wrong. March.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

NYT, folks. Embarrassing shit.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

Trump-Putin-Orban-Le Pen-Meloni and AfD. It's the like Brotherhood of Evil Mutants combining their villainous powers. Will the world stand up to this global threat? Let's see.

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

Math is hard

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Focus is important! 👑 is a distraction the focus needs to stay on Trumps errands for Putin

The king has lost his crown.

Stephen Miller is trending and I’m all out of vampire jokes. That sucks!

Joe Rogan dethroned by anti-Trump podcast in the charts

“We salute and admire the courage many of you have already exhibited and that will guide all of you as you continue to serve the interests of justice. You’ve responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront..."

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Do you mean Congressmen who support the MAGA movement?

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

ALERT: The @friendsofusaid.bsky.social Instagram and YouTube channel were blocked! They hope to get back online but if you're on Insta guess what, big brains FORGOT TO TAKE DOWN THE USAID OIG PAGE! See what we REALLY were doing to end waste, fraud and abuse! #SaveUSAID lnk.bio/usaid.oig

Sorry but this is plainly a lie as anyone with eyes to see can tell. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Connecticut was out at The CT Capitol today.
