“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Overflow angry crowd for town hall with Glenn Grothman in Oshkosh this morning ... www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

A profile of Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's top officer, who spent roughly half of her 40-year career at sea, commanding a destroyer, two carrier strike groups and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, & whom current Defense Secretary and former Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth fired tonight.

It’s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

This didn't take long.

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Donald Trump is big mad that Canada beat the U.S. in hockey. He calls Justin Trudeau "a loser" and says that he's going to lose the election. Fox Radio's Brian Kilmeade tells Donald that Trudeau isn't even running. Senile old fool. 🤦‍♀️

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

He nails it.

Zelensky should just tell Trump the freedom & democracy train left the station, the rest of the free world is on the train, and Trump can either get on the train or not. But no bribes or extortion to get on the train. Freedom & democracy will prevail, with or without the U.S..

To whip the European defense industry into shape, Brussels has appointed veteran Lithuanian politician Andrius Kubilius as its first-ever defense commissioner. The Kyiv Independent sat down with Commissioner Kubilius to ask whether the EU is ready to step up in the light of recent shifts in the U.S.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Donald Trump joins the rest of the world in wanting to know what on Earth is wrong with Elon Musk. In his new book Michael Wolff wrote that Trump was bewildered by the bafflingly lame behavior of the billionaire technocrat. newrepublic.com/post/191840/...

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

Truth isn’t in the eye of the beholder. Truth is constant and unquestionable (if it’s not truth social). Read this and share please: nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

Cheerful round-up of bad news for Tusk/Mump.

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

The shortest honeymoon in history.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

⚡️63% of Ukrainians approve Zelensky as president, poll shows.

If you look closely, you’ll notice I’ve been wearing the same shirt on all my national appearances. This is not because I am a slovenly gamer (even though that’s what I am), it’s a very deliberate decision. This is the shirt.

Im thankful to be part of a speakers bureau that believes in diversity and champions it, especially with dude in the white house and so many companies rolling back inclusive initiatives. Contact if interested in having me speak at an event! hachettespeakersbureau.com

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

Friday night Tequila tweet: Fuck Donald Trump & everyone else who stands with Putin. Fuck @elonmusk & everyone else who doesn’t know what Ukraine is fighting for. Trump & Musk would’ve sided with Great Britain during America’s fight for independence. Fuck them. Slava Ukraini.🇺🇦

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

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.

Here it is! Our full 25 minute interview with former NFL punter Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social about his decision to tell off his MAGA city council - mic drop after mic dop - and then get arrested following an an act of civil disobedience. youtu.be/Pprrm6TYmZU
