Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

It'd be awesome if @whitehouse.senate.gov asked Attorney General Bondi if she has issued some kind of finding that foreign donations are cool now, so long as they're covered up nicely. www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/22/p...

Guys, they are not trying to hide their intentions here.

So if we are going to have a King, shouldn't we go with the actual royal blood one who is married to an American citizen? Just sayin.

What if I told y’all that race is, in fact, not an immutable characteristic? It is a construct created to parce power, opportunity and economic advantage. A person racialized as Black might be 10% African or 100%, but regardless of genetics, they share a common history of exclusion.

Man, oh man, with this new regime, I am not feeling confident enough to make even small purchases, let alone anything major. Of everyone feels this way...

AirBnB has been the worst thing for this country with regards to increasing housing costs and decreasing accessibility for family homeowners in certain locations. Now the asshat CEO just joined DOGE. Boycott AirBnB

The billionaires have been working on their merger with the evangelicals and “conservatives” for decades…abortion was the wedge issue to get Christians to vote against their own good. It was never about babies. It was to bring about a coup…it is an oligarchy taking over the US inch by inch.

How do we know with the CDC all knee capped that all these horrible influenza A cases sickening Americans right now isn't a bird flu? Anyone checking??

It would seem prudent--perhaps even a brilliant business move--for billionaires like @mcuban.bsky.social and Bill Gates to set up an institute for preserving scientific expertise and then hire up all the talent being released now. Maybe locate it in Switzerland.

🚨 WHOA!!! Sen. Whitehouse: Mark my words. This Patel guy will come back to haunt you. Every piece of evidence shows that.

FACTS! 👇👇👇👇👇👇

At least six independent inspectors general fired by Trump all have one thing in common: their agencies investigated Elon Musk's corporations. Musk's crusade against the government isn't about "waste" or "efficiency." It's about shielding himself from accountability.

Always read @gregsargent.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1914...

Treasury Department officials admitted today that the agency “mistakenly” and “briefly” gave a member of Musk’s DOGE team the power to alter a sensitive federal payments database. The disclosure undercuts the Trump administration’s repeated claims that access was limited to a “read-only” basis.

Without the CFPB, giant financial institutions — like banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and debt collection companies — will have an easier time picking your pocket. It’s clear who Trump and Musk serve — and it’s not you.
