“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

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.

Folks, you need to read this. This is the US today - a train wreck.

Good piece from @emorwee.bsky.social on Trump's "energy whisperer" franking billionaire Harold Hamm: "The primary goal of Trump’s energy policies is to drive profits for Hamm and the other oil billionaires who donated lavishly to his campaign. Let’s keep our eye on the oligarchical ball."

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Goldman: "My Republican colleagues are so weak and afraid of Donald Trump that they're willing to undermine their own constitutional authority just to please them. You're giving away your own power in fealty to Donald Trump."

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Musk and the Right Are Trying to Recast Reporting as ‘Doxxing’ by the excellent Ken Bensinger. Gift link!

Even though CDC recently allowed to resume publication of its weekly morbidity & mortality report, THREE studies on bird flu that had been scheduled to run in the journal are still being suppressed. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Since MSM won't report this, here's what Democrats did today.

Biography of Civil War Veteran Banned as Military Schools Cull Books and Lessons Under Trump Orders The changes drew a rare protest by military families during Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's trip to Stuttgart, Germany. 55 students walked out of class in protest. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

In the three weeks Elon Musk has been in charge of unilaterally slashing government spending, the U.S. government has paid one of his companies, SpaceX, more than $43 million.

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring." Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

The Trump administration's cuts in science funding will likely lead to an exodus of scientific expertise, the research community warns. "That beacon of research that the US was for several decades — it’s just not going to be there.” www.statnews.com/2025/02/12/t...

Trump on Putin: "We expect he'll come here and I'll go there, and we're gonna meet also probably in Saudi Arabia the first time."

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

Let’s stop framing this as “the country” under attack. They’ve come for vets & students & the disabled & teachers & healthcare workers & scientists. It’s you. You’re under attack. You & your family & your job & your money & your way of life are under attack. No one is coming to help. Fight back.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

The Democratic Party's calculation appears to be that raising hell about what Trump is doing will make them look obstructionist, partisan, and "sour-grapey" while painting him as a man of action taking bold steps on presisng problems. This is wrong and dumb.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

The idea that Elon Musk could possibly judge his own biases or conflicts of interest is an obscene joke that flies in the face of a decade of evidence about him and how he operates.

aaaand now it all makes sense

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets. This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

BREAKING: Federal judge in D.C. blocks Trump administration from implementing the Office of Management and Budget memo ordering a government-wide freeze on grants and loans as to all current awards. Judge Loren AliKhan also blocks agencies from implementing the order "under a different name."

Please report Musk and Trump to the International Criminal Court! www.icc-cpi.int/contact

Gerry Connolly: "It is a matter for Congress to deal with, not an unelected billionaire oligarchy named Elon Musk. And Elon, if you want to run USAID, get nominated by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck in getting confirmed."

Does Musk have the nuclear codes yet?

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Mass protests in Indiana as hundreds stepped up to stand against tyranny. The demonstrations were sparked after Trump collaborator Gov. Braun signing an executive order, directing law enforcement to aid ICE ethnic cleansing operations. #3E #USprotests #ICE "Who's the criminal? Donald Trump!"
