Germans will vote on Sunday for a new chancellor, a critical component of Europe’s response to President Trump’s second term, and a choice that will resonate far beyond the country’s borders.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

“In his first term, his incompetence caused over 400,000 unnecessary deaths. The only person in history to be responsible for more American deaths than Donald Trump is his idol Adolf Hitler.” — @calvarezaranyos.bsky.social youtu.be/RmM7nvmqKX8?...

Found some peace in this.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

He nails it.

Some things to know about General Brown: - 41 years of military service - F16 fighter pilot and instructor with 3000 flight hours, 130 in combat - Master’s in aeronautical science - son of a U.S. Army colonel and Vietnam veteran - grandson of a WW2 veteran

Much media coverage: These Pentagon moves are unusual but Trump's within his rights and wants supporters of his America First agenda. The truth: How is removing the JAGs relevant to any agenda? New, Hegseth-selected JAGs are needed for total loyalty to Trump and finding all his orders lawful.

🚨 Important Action Item 🔊 All republican and non voters are to do the following: Don’t go to work for three days next week. Don’t call in, just blow it off and pursue a hobby. For the remaining work days, bring a friend with you and do nothing. Just sit there, be quiet and let them do your job.

We don’t have massive federal debt because of Social Security & Medicare. We have massive federal debt because the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. Now R's want to make major cuts to SS to give rich people more tax breaks. #ProudBlue #HandsOffMyMedicaid #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I’m at the age where I can remember the entire rap to The Fresh Prince, but not why I came into this room.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

Breaking News: President Trump fired the country’s senior military officer, a role that traditionally stays in place as administrations change.

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

An outbreak of listeria infections linked with frozen supplemental shakes has made at least 38 people ill in 21 states, with 37 hospitalizations and 11 deaths, the FDA said.

I am a person of faith, but I believe in separation of church and state. I believe that every citizen has a right to have their diverse faith traditions, or choose not to believe. Tonight I am humbly PRAYING for our country as I have never done before. The replacing of Joint Chiefs and JAGS…

(We wanted to get this published ASAP because this administration loves its Friday firings, so there's a nonzero chance Hegseth might fire generals tonight.)

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I learned about this when my husband's cancer wasn't going away and we were talking about bone marrow transplant.

Hell no to thinking Trump succeeding is inevitable. All of you, all of us will continue to share the truth and form into a proverbial wave and crash down on their house of lies. We quickly need more Americans to shift course. Keep spreading the truth to your audiences, including Trump supporters.

James Taylor admittedly doesn’t post much about politics. But, wow! He hit it out of the park when he did!
