Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Works as advertised

This is a coup.

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

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Well said.

Free speech absolutist

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

The uncertainty caused by Trump’s funding and hiring freezes has limited training, postponed work to reduce flammable vegetation in areas vulnerable to wildfire and left some firefighters with little choice but to leave the force.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Measles vaccines, the need for boosters, and what to know given spikes in cases nationwide. We covered this topic back in the fall and resharing the segment here. Also, sharing a few bullets on Measles boosters: www.nbcnews.com/now/video/me...

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

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

Trump has fired people who process prescriptions by mail. So if you’re a veteran, order your meds earlier than you normally would. They could take a while.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

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.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would
