In the US the Trump regime is dutifully serving Israel by violating the rights of US citizens who criticize or protest against its mass murder or human rights violations of Palestinians in Gaza. In Michigan, the regime sent the FBI to violently break into students homes. #EndImpunity

The moment Russia targeted and leveled a residential building in the middle of the night as civilians slept, in latest terrorist attack on Ukraine.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

He is a life-long property developer. So how the hell did he end up as America’s top international negotiator, on everything from Ukraine to the Iran nuclear deal? Asks @eksymons.bsky.social

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth had set up Signal on a computer in his Pentagon office so he can use it in a space where cellphones are prohibited. He installed cables last month to connect a private computer to Signal. This is getting worse by the day.

Pete Hegseth fired the Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense and hired his brother, Phil. WTAF www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202...

The President does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to dictate the content of voter registration forms. This EO is an incredibly dangerous power grab. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

NEW: An anonymous source has told me that because of the suspension of government purchase cards, a VA hospital is unable to buy supplies like bleach and batteries.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Current mood

The dismissal of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came as part of a broader shake-up that has rattled national-security officials, who fear they could be next, report @shaneharris.bsky.social and @jonlemire.bsky.social:

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza took her own life after months of relentless bullying from her sixth grade classmates over her family's immigration status, with some students even threatening to contact ICE. She was 11!!! Are you happy MAGAts??? Are your eggs cheaper? www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

If Trump sells F-35s to India, the era of US air dominance is over. Full stop.

Shame on all of them SHE IS DANGEROUS As Director of National Intelligence, her 3 main tasks are listed below All 3, she will only be a trump loyalist And be assured, American interests are not forefront Only Trumps She, along with Hegseth put AMERICA IN GRAVE DANGER ⬇️⬇️⬇️

So far in the last 24 hours, Russia's gotten: - a sympathetic ear/voice installed as DNI - the release of a crime boss - Hegseth ceding Crimea to them - Trump offering a WH visit - The US acting as middleman rather than Ukraine ally

Today, federal government employee unions, represented by Democracy Forward, sued the Labor Department and the U.S. DOGE Service over DOGE's expected attempt to access "sensitive information" at the Labor Dept. Find the suit on Lawfare's Litigation tracker: www.lawfaremedia.org/projects-ser...

We predicted it. They would turn red state National Guardsman into enforcers against the public. Greg Abbott steps right up to be the first fascist supplicant. www.newsweek.com/greg-abott-t...

Congressman @beyer.house.gov will be going to USAID today with colleagues to shine a light on what is happening there, I think others will join us. Figuring out details now and will share but flagging now for press and public in the area

Since the main stream media will probably not cover this horrific story, maybe some big ally accounts will @georgetakei.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @nickknudsenus.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Transgender veteran dies by suicide at Syracuse VA Medical Center hanging themselves outside the top of the hospital’s parking garage Monday. Witnesses said the person was wrapped in a body-length transgender pride flag. Are you MAGAts proud of your country now??? www.syracuse.com/news/2025/01...

BREAKING: Elon Musk and a network of his associates are exerting sweeping control over the inner workings of the U.S. government. This takeover of multiple government agencies includes the Treasury Department. There appears to be an attempt to use the federal payments system to enact…

This is how banana republics work: “Interim leaders at the Justice Department have spent the past week drawing up lists of people whose work at the bureau has earned disfavor with Trump for a variety of reasons.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/p...

BREAKING: During an internal meeting today, Trump officials directed OPM to cut the agency workforce and programs by 70%. federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2...

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism. Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary… The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

NEW: According to @cnn.com, the House Ethics committee just voted on whether to release the Gaetz report, and the republicans voted to protect Gaetz. I'm wholly unsurprised they would bend the knee to Trump.

We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time.

Who’s down with this? ✋🏽

Such brazen corruption happening right out in the open. Welcome to the oligarchy.
