Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social on book tour instead of doing a fight back tour?

yooo I was just cited in a federal opinion & I'm ecstatic! I argued that the Supreme Court's originalist guns jurisprudence is asinine so lower court judges don't know how to apply it, & in footnote 17 this judge is like YEAH lmao www.scribd.com/document/823... ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/secon...

We’re doing this again. Text USPS to 50409.

This is really something

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood

New NIH Chief to NIH Staff: "We will have many opportunities to demonstrate our value to Secretary Kennedy in the coming weeks and months." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/new-n...

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

Words fail.

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.” 🔥

I went slumming on X for a bit. There’s group with accounting expertise that are investigating DOGE’s fraud claims. Misrepresentation of ‘fraud’ findings. More than once the statement was made that DOGE,rather than finding fraud,is committing it.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Opinion | Homosexuality is an abomination against God, but what happens at CPAC stays at CPAC.

For a US government that hates DEI, it's curious that the Secretary of State is Cuban, the FBI director is Indian, the DNI head is Samoan-Indian, and the President is South African.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I was at the store when I saw the notice of Patel's confirmation. I exclaimed "OH MY GOD!" Clerk asked what happened—I explained they just confirmed Kash Patel! She and no one in the checkout line with me knew what I was talking about. 😬😡

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Happy Black History Month

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

ProPublica isn't giving up on the social cost of carbon.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

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!"

Morning - Rise up & resist! Today, let's focus on what we can control. Remembering that our purpose fuels our resilience & resistance. They want us to be fearful; worrying about the future. Bc in fear, we're not living in the moment. We're unable to help now when we're spiraling. #tgif

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.

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.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

I sometimes find it helpful to remember that when change is rippling through a large population, at first it looks like nothing at all. And if it’s change you’re fighting for, that can be frustrating and disheartening. Then you hit the “takeoff” phase and everything seems to be changing at once.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
