NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

The DoD has never passed an audit and no doubt its spending should be reviewed. But Sec Hegseth knows little about how DoD works, and less about national security. It would be a good idea to bring in some expertise rather than just throwing the axes. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

I keep thinking about Trump saying that he needed the kind of generals that Hitler had.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.

This graph shows how Trump and the Republican Congress… Plan to get the federal funds to give millionaires and billionaires a giant tax cut… By cutting $880 billion from Medicaid… And $230 billion from SNAP food stamps. Not to mention, taking millions from children’s free school lunch program

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

“The pass-through deduction is emblematic of the tax reform package as a whole: More tax cuts for the rich, masquerading as tax cuts for the little guy.”

Superb piece by my friend @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social about supporting foreign criticism of Trump's America. It's not unpatriotic of us to feel this way. It's a rejection of fascism and an endorsement of the need for freedom around the world.

TIL Canada senators are required by law to retire at 75. By my count, the U.S. currently has fourteen senators age 75 or over, with another twenty between the ages of 70 and 75

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

In one of those stories, Naftali Bendavid writes: "To a degree possibly unprecedented in the country’s nearly 250 years, Trump is barreling through the executive branch with the conviction that it is his to rule alone, no matter the laws Congress has enacted."

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 just had a wild thought. Everyone is waiting for groceries, gas and egg prices to go down. How’s the border bill coming along that he had a plan for? I know he’s shipped out immigrants, some of them were legal. But…nothing about border security or a border bill. If I missed that memo let me know

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Troy Balderson is part of a two-seat House majority that includes Tom Massie. This is a very nice sentiment that he is massively empowered to do something about in the event that he means it or gives a shit.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.
