Listen up Floridians in Districts 1 & 6. Tomorrow, March 3, 2025is your last day to register to vote!!! Deadline to "vote by mail" is March 20th. The rest of Florida and the US are counting on you.

🧠 Russia and China seek to recruit officials dismissed by Trump, CNN says

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Fox News is doing some serious gaslighting about Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy. If we don’t have truth, we have nothing. Keep ‘em honest!

Donald Trump has spent 35% of his new presidency on the golf course, costing Americans well over $10 million dollars — just *one* of his various “outings” costs. And I’m still hearing people say, “But he doesn’t take a salary!” Puh-lease!

Each day of Donald Trump’s second term is “its own fresh hell,” David Remnick writes, “bringing ever more outrageous news from an autocrat who revels in his contempt for the government he leads, for the foreign allies who deserve our support, and for the Constitution he is sworn to uphold.”

Why do evangelicals love this guy?

As a highly-anticipated meeting between Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump descended into a verbal brawl, Ukraine's soldiers continued to fend off Russia's invasion. We reached out to hear their thoughts on Friday's events.

NEW: @law360.bsky.social has created a *public* database of legal cases involving President Trump's executive orders and other actions. The data is searchable and sortable and will be updated regularly; links to coverage for subscribers. Graphics by @benjayingly.com www.law360.com/trump-legal-...

ProPublica identified 95 Facebook pages that regularly post made-up headlines designed to draw engagement — and, often, stoke political divisions. The pages, most of which are managed by people overseas, have a total of more than 7.7M followers. By @craigsilverman.bsky.social

Allan’s office and Beatles library:

Ever wonder what Beatles historian, Allan Kozinn’s workspace looks like? This is the studio––a work in progress; we have just moved the black CD boxes into the space. Each CD has had its jewel case removed, and each box is packed full of music CDs. Here, he sits for interviews and shows.

This is how we roll… (This is a portion of our collection.)

As a ghost writer, I often get offered lucrative jobs for bad actors. They are always the ones paying the most, because it’s difficult for them to find people who will make them look good. We have the president we have, today, because too many people made a bad actor look good. Resist!

It’s time to bring this back in the US.

Ageing nuclear plant in Florida at risk from climate crisis, advocates warn

It’s time for patriotic Americans to put their money where their mouths are. I would love to see my creative Bluesky, friends creating memes that say, “DON’T FEED THE OLIGARCHS!” (They use that money to take away our rights!) Let’s make this catch on.

While driving, I would occasionally hit the McDonald’s drive-through for a quick meal. Those days are over. McD’s has record profits—while employees work for starvation wages & no benefits, forcing them onto government programs—all while throwing big money at right-wing anti-democracy bad actors.

I spent many thousands of dollars a year on Amazon because I had been largely debilitated—but had never stopped planning home repairs, crisis food prep, gardening and landscaping projects and healthcare. I’m finally improving, so I have now permanently abandoned Amazon. Don’t feed the oligarchs!

Boycotts only work if everyone does them. Americans may be beyond help, because they can’t be inconvenienced for a single day.

The Democratic Party, alongside two other national party committees, has filed a lawsuit against Trump for claiming ultimate power over federal agencies.

It remains unclear at this stage when exactly DOGE staffers scrapped the lease.

⚡️ Kremlin officials tout Zelensky-Trump clash as ‘historic.’ Russian officials commented on the heated exchange between President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Feb. 28, calling the clash "historic" and "a livid reprimand from the Oval Office."
