He nails it.

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

I deleted a post of Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute at CPAC because it included a reference that some folks found offensive. No offense was intended but it's a good reminder to be careful with words. My bad.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and the services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend money is so important to so many people

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Hubble is searching for an imposter in the spiral galaxy UGC 5460! 🥸 This galaxy hosted two recent supernovae, one of which might actually turn out to be an impostor called a luminous blue variable 👉 esahubble.org/images/potw2...

Lower reaches of the Cliffs of Moher catching late evening sun. County Clare, Ireland.

It’s nice that the Target founder’s heirs oppose canceling DEI & sidelining Black-owned products, but they don’t run the company—and Target has made its stance clear. @Target.com: There’s nothing you sell that I can’t find elsewhere. I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

I’m in touch with Delta after a flight taking off from MSP crash landed in Toronto this afternoon. Grateful to the first responders and professionals on the scene.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

Spot on.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Who’s the deep state now? This is Saturday Night Massacre level shit—Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor and five other senior officials resigned Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

Is it possible to convey my love for all my Bluesky followers without taking you out to dinner or spending a single penny on flowers, chocolates or Valentine's Day cards? We're about to find out... (if you "like" this post) ♥️ 🥰💘🫶💟💝😻💚❣️😍❤️‍🔥💙👩‍❤️‍👨💛🖤👩‍❤️‍👩💟😘👨‍❤️‍👨💖💞 #HappyValentinesDay

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

Woof

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Unbelievable! The Cincinnati police don’t get to claim ignorance: an officer was right there helping those Nazis into the U-Haul. This is the same hate group that terrorized citizens on Sunday. Cincinnati, Ohio police aided & abetted Nazis wearing sidearms. Despicable.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

👀 “I understand my duty as a prosecutor to mean enforcing the law impartially, and that includes prosecuting a validly returned indictment regardless whether its dismissal would be politically advantageous, to the defendant or to those who appointed me.” - Former Acting USA, SDNY Danielle Sassoon.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

Just watched the presser from the Oval, Felon47 and Herr Plugs lied the whole damn time. Every word they said was a lie, these two thugs are trying to break our Democratic norms. Stay loud my friends and always Resist! We are the #Opposition Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t get distracted.

This didn’t age well

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.

UPDATE: Google Maps now labels the Gulf of America for U.S. users, and the Gulf of Mexico for those in Mexico. This isn't the first body of water to have different names according to different countries.

If you’re wondering if you’re in a constitutional crisis and that the republic could collapse at any moment, you are.

Google: What’s the quickest way to lose trust and the good will of our customer base? Answer: This shit 👇🏿👇🏾👇🏽

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

Susan Collins has told reporters she will vote for Psycho Bob to lead the HHS. It proves one thing. Susan Collins is incapable of learning a single lesson.

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people. Well done.

For a quick sugar high to “own the libs,” the attempts to shutter USAID would do long term damage that couldn’t be reversed for a generation. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

Monday thought:

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.
