Know your enemy! This is the MAGA spin on what is happening. Use it to prepare YOUR counterarguments. The highlighted lie at the end invalidates everything that comes before it.

This has been two weeks of constant events that are more dangerous than January 6th or, I’d absolutely argue, even 9/11, and it is a damning indictment of American media that so many publications and reporters are too cowardly, too docile, to act like it.

Yes! This! I’ve been so frustrated with the news media about their use of sanitized, abstract language. The current administration is pursuing a pro segregation, anti-equality agenda.

Republicans are going to pass a budget with one of the biggest deficits in world history.

NEW: Sources tell @wired.com that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days *after* US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist: www.wired.com/story/treasu...

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

this appears to be based entirely on subscriptions for Politico Pro that many govt agencies pay for. but it doesn't matter, this is now fact for roughly half the country for eternity and will be used to do whatever they want.

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

In case you wondered what depths our democracy has sunk to

There are critics of DEI who point to its historic use as a way to capture the rhetoric of social justice movements and mitigate the transformative potential of anti discrimination law, and then there are critics of DEI who think race and sex discrimination is good.

"Musk and the newly appointed interim U.S. attorney for D.C., Edward R. Martin Jr., have decreed that it’s a crime to publicly name anyone who works for DOGE. I look forward to my trial." Thanks for reading. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Democrats need to be made to fear their constituents the same way GOP fears theirs (worse, given one set is usually actually informed about what's going on)

The drugs Musk is buying and possessing are illegal under state law. He’s a billionaire who does a lot of drugs and offers drugs to acquaintances (he has no friends). Large enough quantities of drugs possessed allow an inference of intent to distribute, a more serious felony

This is exactly how it works. Don't get fazed. Don't back down. Don't stop doing what you are doing. Godspeed to @thebulwark.bsky.social! www.thebulwark.com/p/the-real-r...

Commentary: Public opinion is meaningless against Trump. To defeat him, and save ourselves, it’s time to stop reading polls and start leading protests.

* TRUMP SAYS WILL SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO HAVE ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI LEAD A TASK FORCE TO ERADICATE ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS @reuters.com

Scary: Congressional Republicans claiming that Trump's abuses are legal. Terrifying: Congressional Republicans agreeing that Trump's abuses are illegal, but they don't care. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is the nicest thing ever. Thank you @parkermolloy.com! www.readtpa.com/p/when-it-co...

MAGA said if Trump were elected eggs would be cheaper. Waffle House is now charging a surcharge on every egg.

NEW: Elon Musk has overtaken President Donald Trump as the hero of America’s far-right movement, per a WIRED review of message boards, encrypted channels, social media platforms, online search trends, and public statements from influencers and lawmakers. from @davidgilbert.bsky.social:
