Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Mike Lawler: "I've been very clear: I will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid." (Bookmark this one.)

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos Please share off line as well !!!

What happened to Little Marco?

Mind blowing.

A reminder for these times.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

The moment in the cabinet meeting where RFK Jr, acting as the actual head of HHS was asked to respond to a deadly measles outbreak caused by vaccine refusal was one of those out-of-body, waking nightmare moments of the Trump era.

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks. Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

When you take a step back, it’s genuinely stunning how far any of this is from anything Trump campaigned on. It aligns perfectly w Project 2025 of course, but in terms of Trump’s public rhetoric, this was totally absent.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Bezos bends the knee. Pathetic.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

I miss DEI

This is the way.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

The President of the United States expressing his views on the 1st Amendment

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

The screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were playing this video this morning

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

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…

Carville to Hannity: I will tell you this: More deficit has accumulated on a Donald Trump than other any other president in history… Your viewers and I’m reading another view so one of us is wrong. You got fact checkers at Fox?

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: The biggest hustle is the fact that Republicans are planning to hurt everyday Americans by doing things like destroying Medicaid... they want to pass massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and stick working class Americans with the bill.

28 days ago.

Trump: I want to thank Kristi.. who is just doing— she’s doing a fantastic job. Governor of… South Dakota

That’s how you write a headline, people.

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin: "No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

@warren.senate.gov: "Elon is gonna do X Money... There's just one bump in the way and that's the CFPB... He doesn't like that... Move the bump out of the way before you start. It's like a bank robber saying, 'Before I go into the lobby with my sacks, I'm just going to fire the cops.'"

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Jessica: You need to talk about the 3,400 people who were fired from the fire service. Trump was out in California talking about how we need more people working on this, we need to be raking the leaves… 57% of the land there is run by the Federal Government

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "The question is can you work with Republicans in the middle of a constitutional crisis when democracy is on the line? And right now, I think that this crisis is serious and deepening in its seriousness, that our job #1, #2, and #3 is to save our democracy."

Tom Homan confirms on Fox News that he's asked the DOJ to investigate AOC

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Not even six hours apart.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
