NATO needs to ghost Trump for a while. Scare him. No communication.

Truly incredible how Americans can go to the polls, choose a bunch of incompetent jerks to run the country, then immediately recognize "welp everything's gonna suck now." I dunno, maybe don't choose the incompetent jerks next time? Just sayin.

UNBELIEVABLE. Am I the only person who remembers who Kirill Dmitriev is? He was in the Seychelles in January 2017 plotting with Trump envoy Erik Prince, a Jared Kushner envoy, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed and a host of shady characters who'd worked to steal the 2016 election for Trump.

NEW: A military fighter jet has crashed into San Diego Bay. This is the 6th plane collision (and 2nd military collision) since Trump took office.

hot take: within a few years, many currently prestigious colleges and universities that have caved to Trump's mandates will become second or third rate institutions that folks will realize absolutely aren't worth the money. they're destroying their credibility, educational mandate, and legacy.

USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇 adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-mo...

youtu.be/sHAq1yP57rk?... These are questions and concerns I have and feel a need to share it. Going back to Reagan, the GOP has long wanted to grow the executive branch and here we are! The more we know, the stronger we can fight! Know your enemy! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

“The judge said there was a risk of “irreparable harm” in giving Mr. Musk and his team access to systems that included bank details and other sensitive material.”

Instead of gutting government programs that make the world a safer place we should be cracking down on ubiquitous tax avoidance by our country’s biggest corporations.

Hide cameras in every office they enter and record everything. People won't understand what is happening until they see it with their own eyes.

This is happening right now about 15 minutes from where I live in Cincinnati. These are the demons that have been unleashed

A racist colonizer of South Africa is running the U.S. government.

It was @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social who first sounded a clarion call as to Vought's schemes to institute Project 2025 and a white Christian nationalists agenda. This piece, from the fall, is still very much worth a read: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We are not that lucky!

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

I wonder what an active coup would look like in America? I bet it would look something like this.....Said every real American patriot. Stopping the coup will be up to us. We need to act sooner than later. #SheShed #wtpBLUE #Voices4Victory

Guess who just won the Cold War.

We need TV news networks to run features on the Musk payment coup situation. There is no other mechanism by which most Americans will learn of it

This. 👇👇👇

I will not “pause” #BlackHistoryMonth. #Resist

You would think Republican senators would be smart enough to recognize they’re surrendering their own power and risking their own freedom, if they confirm Patel. As if he won’t go after them, too. Once Patel and Bondi are confirmed, it won’t be long after that martial law will be declared.

Trump’s promised 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico—which may be imposed as early as Saturday—could decimate the economy of Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s home state of South Dakota. The big question: Will Thune stand by his constituents or cave to pressure from Trump and his MAGA supporters?
