One interesting objection to this is basically, "Big Pharma won't let this happen." I do doubt RFK will get his massive labor camps. But stigmatizing even mild disability is serious. As I note in passing, disabled people are being targeted the federal worker purge. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

Valor Danielle Sassoon, Acting U.S. attorney for SDNY - refuses to drop Adams charges and resigns John Keller, Acting head of DOJ Public Integrity Section - refuses and resigns Kevin Driscoll, Acting head of DOJ Criminal Division - refuses and resigns www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

To all who commemorate legacy media's decline, happy one month anniversary of the Washington Post telling us that Pam Bondi should be confirmed as Attorney General. Don't get fooled again. Support independent, pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com

Good thing he didn’t look or sound high AF in the Oval today.

JFC! We’ve got a teenager with full access to the State Department’s data—one who joked about wiping servers after getting fired for leaking a security firm’s info to a competitor. What could go possibly wrong—except permanent damage to our top national secrets and the trust of our allies.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Yes, the American Right happily consumes a steady diet of lies to fit the narratives their online grifters create for them.

The performer who held up a flag with SUDAN and GAZA on it during Kendrick's Super Bowl performance won't face any charges, but according to the NFL, they have "earned a lifetime ban from league stadiums and events."

Bless Kendrick Lamar!

📌On this day in 1936, Nazi Germany's Reichstag passed a law giving the Gestapo absolute authority to hunt down and kill anybody they saw as a threat. They were completely above any legal review. 📌You see where I'm going with this ...

I don't know how to be more clear. Stop listening to people who are telling us to "pick our battles." This is the fucking battle. It's here now. Each one of these acts is an attack in that battle. Either get in the fight or get the fuck out of our way.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Practically no one covered it! 😡🤬😡🤬😡

WATCH: “Rubio actually sent a letter to Biden asking him to INCREASE the USAID budget to counter Chinese influence.” CNN Busts Trump Secretary of State @marcorubio for being a huge USAID advocate before joining Musk & Trump in attacking it.🤔

This is a great podcast. youtu.be/kFDCwnE-9oI?...

There are heroes among us. 🙌🙏👇

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

🚨This is a FIVE ALARM FIRE‼️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When you want people to think you're a Christian but the sign of the cross is beyond your intellectual capacity.

While it might sound nice to talk of building the “greatest dome of them all,” as Trump recently said, a missile expert at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies called Trump’s idea of building an American Iron Dome “the insane ramblings of a senile old person.”

If you were wondering why Colombia is suddenly being bullied by Donald Trump, it’s on the map of the “American Technate” that Elon Musk’s Nazi grandfather wanted to create from Greenland to Colombia. We’re way down the k-hole. Please subscribe. www.mind-war.com/p/technate-o...

ICYMI, this is what’s coming unless there is coordinated action taken against it — now. At the rate the Rule of Law is being destroyed there’s no reason the richest man and actual President won’t use the military to create the fascist “Technate of America” his Nazi grandpa Joshua Haldeman wanted.
