This is the guy that every single Republican in the Senate is going to act like is unacceptable ad Deputy FBI Director and then vote for after pussing out again. Dan Bongino is a fascist monster.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

I don’t post much here, but I wanted to show you this pic from the rally for Ukraine in Rome. Non posto molto qui, ma vi mostro quest’immagine dalla manifestazione per l’Ucraina a Roma. #slavaukraini #ukrainewillwin

🔥🔥🔥 BAVOVNA at the Ryazan oil refinery! ❗️The largest primary oil refining unit of Ryazan Oil Refinery, ELOU-AT-6, is believed to have been attacked. The unit's capacity is 23,190 tons per day, which is 47.5% of the refinery's total primary refining capacity.

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’ I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Russia has no interest in negotiating. Their aim is clear: destroy Ukraine. Europe can’t wait for Trump to meet Putin. We have the collective power to tip Russia’s economy off a cliff. Embargo Russian energy, crack down on sanctions dodging, & give 🇺🇦 seized RU assets in the EU.

WTF

Danielle Sassoon properly told Donald Trump he’s corrupt as fuck. In case you’re wondering, this is what integrity looks like.

Trump went to the South this weekend. Not to visit flood victims in Kentucky, but to have his security drive him around a race track. He doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs. He’s on a vanity tour for the next four years.

No president has had more planes crash in their first month in office than Donald Trump. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Tomorrow’s UK front pages are tearing Trump apart. Two of these are right-wing newspapers. “Trump appals world”, “Shameful Trump” and “Deranged Trump”

These are talking points straight from the Kremlin. It is clear that Trump’s plan to “end the war” is to remove Zelenskyy, replace him with a Putin stooge, and then let Putin take over Ukraine.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I'm in the Netherlands this week to foster business ties with companies looking to expand in Minnesota. I've made similar trips as Governor, representing Minnesota around the world, but this time is different.

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.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Newsmax host claims of DOGE that "the numbers do not lie" and then immediately lies about the numbers

UPDATE: Nearly 100 migrants, recently deported by the United States to Panama where they had been locked in a hotel, were loaded onto buses Tuesday night and moved to a detention camp on the outskirts of the jungle, several of the migrants said. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

Dark Pence is back.

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."

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll take out my crystal ball and predict what the alliance between the US and Russia could mean for Ukraine, Europe and geopolitics in general. These recent changes could be a real risk for the whole of Europe, and need to be addressed quickly. 1/23

TIL about the legend behind summer fun!!

For those of you who didn't take a civics/US government class in school.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Why is #PutinsPuppet so scared? The felon thought he could bully Zelensky into agreeing to the deal, but he said he spoke w/ MBS today to postpone his visit until March. And DT saw that Erdogan is on Z’s side.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Why is the richest man in the world cutting cancer research?

🇬🇧🇺🇦 The UK is ready to play a leading role in accelerating work on security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes further support for Ukraine’s military – where the UK has already committed £3 billion a year until at least 2030, - The Telegraph “But it also means being ready and willing to

"Reparenting" means taking your ill children away from you, subjecting them to forced labor on a farm and scientifically unsound treatments. Oh, "no screens"? That means holding them INCOMMUNICADO. He's going to take your children as SLAVES to replace all the "illegals" they deported on farms.

In Which RFK Jr. proposes stealing your children from you, holding them incommunicado, and forcing them to work on farms. This is SLAVERY, folks.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

123p pm it's forty three degrees here at jefferson skate park Rain is coming soon, so I'll take what I can get. Happy Caturday y'alls 💘

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.
