Trump will travel to Moscow to stand next to Putin on the reviewing stand for the May 8 Victory Day celebration, Moscow sources reveal to Le Point. This year's celebration will focus on Russia's victory over Ukraine. How many messages does the world need? (H/t John Paul Fitch)

Oh no! It looks like there is a contagious neurological problem among the current administration’s associates that causes them to accidentally and involuntarily flash n@zi salutes at public appearances! I am sure this was completely unintentional. www.bbc.com/news/article...

At least as interesting as the results of this poll—and they are definitely interesting—is the fact that pollsters are starting to ask the right questions about our new and perilous moment.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

It appears that “administration officials are paying lip service to complying with the letter of the court orders while violating their spirit.” The impoundment machinations are elaborate, but courts should be able to see through them. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Excellent reporting by @samsteindc.bsky.social: "The question now confronting people beginning their careers in the field of scientific research is not whether the government is there to help them, but whether they can survive its wrath." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-doge-b...

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

I reviewed a copy of the email received by a fired FDIC employee (who was told by phone they were not being terminated for performance) and it had some very peculiar language: “FDIC finds that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the FDIC would be in the public interest.”

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend. And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…
