Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

Trump’s honeymoon may be wearing off. New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.

In case you’re not sure how it’s going down here, America.

Putin interfered in the 2016 election and helped Trump win. Trump tried to build Trump Tower Moscow while he was President. Trump chose to believe Putin over our own intelligence community in 2018. Trump withheld aid from Ukraine in 2019. Trump is Putin’s puppet.

Dark Pence is back.

Kash Patel cannot be confirmed! Schiff: I want you to look at Capitol police & tell them you're proud that you raised money off people that assaulted their colleagues Patel: That's an abject lie. I've never accepted violence against law enforcement. Schiff: You didn't accept it, you glorified it!

Steve Bannon: “Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to…play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values or traditions.” (I don’t usually pay much attention to inner circle conflict, but this one could be significant.) 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Russia’s total economic output is smaller than that of California or Texas. Even if you consider restarting oil trade, imports from Russia made up < 2% of US supply prior to the invasion of Ukraine. There is no advantageous “partnership” for the US here, but there is tremendous upside for Russia.

Who has really sacrificed most to help Ukraine.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The rightward drift of Silicon Valley didn’t come out of nowhere. In 2014, Corey Pein detailed the then emerging connections between tech elites and neo-fascist thinkers like Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land.

“Tesla sales are in free fall in Europe right now … Tesla sales in France fell by a thumping 63.4 percent. And it gets even worse: In Spain, Tesla sales plummeted by 75.4 percent.” www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Trump's top priorities: - racists - rapists - Russians

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

It’s time to do what we do best: Make Republicans squirm and ensure Democrats fight like hell. Your representative is back home for recess and we’ve got events planned across the country (including Tesla dealerships). We know that showing up works and the stakes are too high to stay home. LFG. 👇

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier: "We must not freeze in fear, or as the English saying goes,let's not be deers caught in the headlights. It is clear that the new American administration holds a world view that is very different from our own. One that shows no regard for established rules."

🔴Like Brexit, Trump and Musk's Agenda is 'Ideologically Incoherent and Ultimately Self-Defeating' The disaster of Brexit is now being replicated on a global scale by a US administration determined to shoot its country's own interests in the foot, argues former UK diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall

This is… I don’t know what this is. I don’t think I’m living in the real world anymore. But I’m going to watch this video about 20 more times today for sure. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...
