Impeachment may not succeed, but articles need to be brought asap. And every day, until they do. And NOTHING ELSE - absolutely NO business as usual - other than impeachment, until Trump is finally removed.

this is almost certainly a set up

And in which one of the candidates is quite likely to be JD Vance.

Seems like something @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov should maybe say something about?

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

This just all feels like some dumb sci-fi alt-history where the Confederacy won and formed an alliance with the Soviets

Almost half of Republican men now believe that women should return to their traditional roles in society (up from 28 percent in 2022) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

lol whut

EU foreign policy chief: “.. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader.” @kajakallas.bsky.social

Russia, Russia, Russia.

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

Disgusting. Immoral. Betrayal. Traitorous. Trump and his fascist henchmen planned to humiliate Zelenskyy. They humiliated themselves and our nation. Trump serves Putin, not the United States. He is the enemy of democracy. Will our institutional press cover fascism now?

Exclusive: “Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon…” www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Save the date for March 15th at 11am at Foley Square!

At some point, either on his way out the door if that ever happens or some time sooner, there will be mass pardons so sweeping they make the Jan 6 one look tiny, for all the crimes they're doing, and there will be no overcoming that short of some kind of repudiating Trump's legitimacy as president.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

So far, criminals who have had their prosecutions cancelled or reversed because they support Trump or gave him money include: -an online darknet drug kingpin -a pair of Romanian sex traffickers -a major crypto fraudster -a congressional Republican who beat up his mistress

It's like a Russian nesting doll of illegality: Musk holds no office running DOGE, DOGE has no lawful authority to direct OPM, and OPM has no legal power to insert itself in the chain of command from agency heads to their employees.

Our system of checks and balances has stood as a bulwark against tyranny for 250 years. The way it works is no one man can dictate how our government works. Congress makes laws, the president executes the laws, and courts make sure laws and rights are protected. We give that up at our peril.

New York/NJ, it's time to get ready. There's a 1000 bed concentration camp coming to Newark. www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/27/i...

PEPFAR was the one great accomplishment of George W. Bush, but apparently he’s going to sit by quietly as Trump destroys it.

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

there is really going to be no option but to prosecute these people the second they are out of power if we ever want a chance to fix this country

The NYPD seized a shipment of ‘Most Wanted CEO’ playing cards en route from manufacturer to the creator to ship out to customers. The NYPD is currently led by Jessica Tisch, who comes from one of the country’s wealthiest families & took particularly intense issue with the cards.

What is wrong with Senate Democrats? There is a five-alarm Article I constitutional crisis. No votes. No attending joint session Trump speeches. No normal operations at all until all the illegal stealing of Congress’ authority stops. Why is this so hard?

No more work-from-home, government workers, except for Kash Patel, who will run the FBI from Las Vegas www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

Not being sarcastic or glib, but what is the point of destruction like this? What does Musk gain from doing this? Is it really as shallow an explanation as “I want to just destroy everything.” But … for what? I get the attack on USAID, or the FAA, or DOJ. But what does this … do?

Musk’s hackers burglarized "a vast trove of information about the entire federal workforce” on OPM computers even as Trump was being sworn in — that is "hours before Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was officially created by an executive order.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We have seen two impeachment worthy stories break today alone. Incredible levels of corruption and lawlessness. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Everything is an enormous scandal. There are several tonight alone. No exaggeration.

People always say: "if libraries didn't already exist, you could never create them today." Well, lots of the stuff MAGA nihilists are destroying right now is like that. We're not just going to put it all back in place when this if over. It's going to take *generations* to repair this shit.

BREAKING The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

NEW YORK CITY! Join us on SATURDAY, MARCH 1 at 1PM outside TESLA, 860 Washington Street, at the corner of West 13th St. We made a TOOLKIT 👉 bit.ly/TeslaToolkit so you can download posters and share online. NOBODY VOTED FOR MUSK #TeslaTakedown #StopTheCoup #PeopleWithDisabilities #RiseandResist

The NWS is some of the best bang-for-our-buck we get as taxpayers. Completely free, lifesaving forecasts cost us about $3 each a year and delivery at least $40 worth of benefit to each of us. That is a pretty damn good return on investment.

Matt Gaetz was almost AG and allegedly had sex with a 17-year-old girl, Trump bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants, Linda McMahon is being sued for allegedly enabling sexual abuse of children, and RFK allegedly groped a babysitter. (These are only the accusations related to minors)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is carrying up to $1.2 million in credit card debt, according to recent financial disclosures. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/w...
