“I’m in West Virginia — My insulin went from $6 to $80”

WOO HOO! 🥂🦋

NEWS Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited a far-right activist, Jack Posobiec, to participate in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first trip overseas, triggering alarm among U.S. defense officials worried about the military being dragged into partisan warfare.

Let’s get this straight… Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire with special government employee status, who can police his own conflicts of interest and doesn’t have to file a public financial disclosure report. Make it make sense. (Hint: it doesn’t)

What is Trump thinking here? He certainly spent more time intently observing the kid than paying attention to Musk. static01.nyt.com/images/2025/...

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Trump is weaker than he looks right now. The economy is slowing, inflation rising, consumer confidence falling, Trump’s disapproval is historically high and his tariffs makes things worse. He's making mistakes, and we need to go on offense. My latest 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-i...

Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

JUST IN: The 1st Circuit Court of appeals has *denied* the Trump administration's emergency motion to block a court order that ordered agencies to lift their spending freeze.

Speaker Mike Johnson agrees “wholeheartedly” that Trump can make sweeping cuts to federal spending without the approval of Congress. This is in opposition to our Constitution’s separation of powers & the Congress he represents

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies. The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

We're looking...

I've never seen Trump sit so silently and let someone else take the stage and take all the attention. I wonder how long this lasts.

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.

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

Conservatives are so funny because every year they say the Halftime Show was the worst in history and every year the Halftime Show continues to get higher ratings than the game itself

A Wake County judge rejected a bid by GOP North Carolina Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin to overturn his 2024 election loss by disqualifying over 60K lawfully cast ballots. Griffin has appealed the decision.

Just calling it like I see it.

And Jesus said: “Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God". Matthew 19:24

Every decent human being at the Super Bowl should take a knee during the National Anthem.

Trump's "goal has always been clear: destroy functioning government, cripple the nonprofit sector and obliterate the hard-earned bonds and benefits of 80 years of post-war American progress."

When cities clear homeless encampments, workers often take people’s belongings — including important documents, survival gear and irreplaceable mementos. Over and over, people across the U.S. told ProPublica they were devastated by such losses: https://propub.li/3WScD3g

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.
