Congrats to @bsky.app and all the users and team that make it unique ! 32m users is real !

Kennedy Center ticket sales dropped roughly 50 percent week-over-week after Trump announced his takeover www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Republicans=Nazis

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Covid was the biggest transfer of power from bosses to workers in 75 years and billionaires were so angry at this they demanded governments inflict 'pain' on the economy to punish 'arrogant' workers and it's amazing how so little analysis of the last 5 years includes this. Listen to this asshole:

Poll: ⅔ of Ukrainians back Zelenskyy, majority rejects US-Russia talks and no-guarantees ceasefire 77% of Ukrainians support Macron, 83% support a ceasefire only with security guarantees, while 91% disapprove of US-Russia negotiations without Ukraine euromaidanpress.com/2025/02/21/p...

This is how it’s done.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is just one type of incredibly important work that needs to go on without interference from antivax idiots like RFK Jr.! My grandfather, next-door-neighbor, and a good friend all died from pancreatic cancer. There are so few good treatment options!

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

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

Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. He lied. 2 out of every 5 births in this country are covered by Medicaid.... #DontCutMyMedicaid

This is the way

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Yes!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

The Associated Press has sued Trump officials after being barred from some White House events.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

The Trump regime is trying to pressure Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine and force him into exile in France, this is part of an ongoing US / Russia ploy to force a surrender and plunder the country's resources. #StandWithUkraine

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

This is really something

Big news at @democracydocket.com! 🥳

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

Hey Ed Martin, I’m an American. I have a right to call @elonmusk a dick. And I have a right to call Trump a Russian asset. It’s called the First Amendment. Hey Ed, take your government intimidation and shove it up your ass. Don’t you dare impinge upon my freedom. www.mediaite.com/politics/mag...

Garcia: The fact that the Trump DOJ now wants to silence members of Congress because we’re actually willing to take on Elon Musk is quite dangerous. It’s incredibly disturbing. But we’re not going to be silenced. We’ve got to push back.

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Today in Politics, Bulletin 75. Trump’s approval ratings are sinking already. Here is everything you need to know about that and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
