83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

Today in Politics, Bulletin 76. 2/21/25. Everything you need to know about what happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Accurate.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The politics of spite are alive and well in Donald Trump's Washington. This compelling piece from The Big Picture explores how the MAGA Republican Party has transformed obstruction into an electoral strategy and what Democrats can do to counter this trend.

Lawrence: How many laws has Trump, who thinks he's a king, violated publicly? MSNBC’s @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com examines how many laws Trump, who “asserted kingly powers” in a social media post, has violated in just one month of his second term. WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQZy...

Of course he was recruited by Russia, but he's far too stupid to realize that he's been their patsy for decades, and so are his supporters. The rest of us have seen it lit up like a neon sign on Broadway.

Trump accuses federal workers of “playing golf.” He spent the last three weekdays golfing.

Without friends

This is what we have become as a society. Shame on us.

History is watching

The question is, whether or not we have enough good people who are willing to push back and to move together across lines of politics and religion and race and nation of origin and orientation—and to declare our interdependence from fascism. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...

These self-identified Jesus-followers are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families torn apart, lives violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school and at work and at church. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-youre-a...

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

The madness of King Donald. He needs to be stopped, but how?

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

There is a special place in hell waiting for this whacko 🤬

No lie detected.

All members of the press should unite to defend Associated Press - and by extension, America’s freedoms

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

What a double standard.

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉
