Q: How evil do you have to be to cut a Dolly book program? A: Pretty f*cking evil. Solution: Dolly for Prez! Dolly Parton Calls Out Indiana Gov Over Plan to Dump Her Imagination Library www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton... cc @drjengunter.bsky.social

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Luis Rubiales found guilty of sexually assaulting Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

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.

King George III was the last king to rule over a free America. His loyal subjects on the new land were considered traitors and were treated as such. There has never been another king of this land, and there never will be.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

Dear America, what on earth did you do?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is urging parliament to declare a state of emergency citing “the events of the last 24 hours and statements from the U.S. government” on Ukraine. Translated video 👇

Trump has now asked Elon Musk to examine US defence spending. Elon Musk’s companies have multi billion dollar contracts with the Department of Defense and are seeking more. The BBC’s Today Programme just reported the first part, without mentioning the second. Unacceptable

Me: Nearly Monday again. Totally ready for it. Narrator: But she wasn't ready. She wasn’t ready at all.

🔥 AMAZING. Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia. It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania successfully synchronised their electricity systems with the European energy network today. This is a key milestone for the Baltic States and for Europe strengthening energy resilience and independence across the region. ⚡️

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

If Trump is able to change the constitution and run for a 3rd term, I know someone eligible for a 3rd term as well.

Oops 😬

True.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

This is such nonsense from the awful people who slag everyone else for hiring less qualified people. Every accusation is a confession with these chodes.

We’re not a 2 party system. There are more than 2 competing visions. There’s also a vision guided by facts and evidence and community interest - instead of fossil fuel donors and party interests #auspol

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Who else has championed the LNP so tirelessly, only to get it wrong so consistently, as Peter Van Onselen?

Explain this to me. Why did Australian media start hyperventilating (rightly) when Trump said he wants the US to take over Gaza, but when Dutton says Trump has presented a good idea, media just repeat what he’s said like it’s totally normal and legitimate? Makes zero sense.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

Amazing interview on #cnn right now with Heather Shaner, a Public Defender of some of the Jan 6 rioters. These people were uneducated, ignorant, and often inebriated. Ms Shaner gave them books.

If you have 45 minutes, watch this short, deeply moving documentary. It somehow manages to be both affirming and utterly devastating. Heather Shaner embodies what every far-right "constitutionalist" claims to believe. Which is why they loathe her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt1D...

I wonder if he also considered having the word TRUMP tattooed across his forehead.

America has concentration camps now. MAGAs are cheering. The funny thing is that—as January 6 proved—all you have to do is treat _one_ white man like Black Americans and migrants are treated daily and MAGA transforms into a national movement to fix that problem [for whites]. So Musk to Guantanamo?

You’ll be shocked - shocked! - to hear that Susan Collins has decided to vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk: Blunt Rochester Booker Cantwell Coons Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Hickenlooper Kaine Kelly King (Independent) Peters Shaheen Slotkin Warner

THIS should have been stopped !

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
