About as brilliant an encapsulation of Trump’s “solution” to the Ukraine/Russia war as you can get. www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/s/...

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Really hope Team Canada Wins.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

More media controlling the narrative—The Washington Post refused to run an ad that said, “Fire Elon Musk.”

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Looks like another protest heading for Stonewall this Saturday, likely even bigger than the one last week.

happy valentines!

BREAKING: A fourth judge blocks Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. "This ruling ... is based on straightforward application of settled Supreme Court precedent reiterated and reaffirmed in various ways for more than a century by all three branches of the federal government."

After going quiet on bird flu, CDC scientists have published a report on its spread among veterinarians. The findings suggest a need for better surveillance.

There's little transparency behind Trump/DOGE/Elon Musk's claims of saving the government billions of dollars in less than a month. Digging into federal contract+spending data, @npr.org found errors and exaggerations with what little DOGE has shared.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Wow, that vampire character on Sesame Street is really counter intuitive.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Trump and Musk keep justifying their moves as combating fraud, but they have been unable so far to point to much of anything specific that’s actually fraudulent, by Aaron Blake www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston rejected the Trump administration's emergency appeal.

Pope Francis sharply rebuked President Donald Trump’s policy of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and urged American Catholics not to lean into anti-immigrant sentiment in an open letter to U.S. Catholic bishops Tuesday.

Leadership is about listening, empowering communities, and solving problems. It’s what I’ve spent my career doing and it’s what I’ll do as Governor. It’s time to put Ohio families first.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Happening live: Donald Trump is expected to sign a far reaching executive order banning trans people from sports, which can range from disc golf to darts and even dancing and chess, in mere moments. I'll be covering it live. Watch along with me: www.youtube.com/live/vbZH0eZ...

Ohio Reps Jim Jordan & Mike Turner have failed to protect you. We had an opportunity to at least look at the hostile government takeover and damage done by Elon Musk. But Jordan and Turner voted against any oversight at all. They prefer to look away from the problem.

I am once again asking you to think of an indie bookstore while Barnes and Noble has their preorder sale. I have ~50 books out this year 25% off through February 7th. We also have no customers in store because of the snow. www.mainstbooksmonroe.com/s/search?q=2... #Preorder2025 #indiebookstore

There’s a big lawsuit everyone should know about. It’s the one that could boot Elon Musk and the DOGE dudes out of Treasury and kill their access to our payment systems. Learn about it in my write-up: https://buff.ly/4jMI4pO

Here's a feed for posts about the 50501 protests today, since Bluesky (like Twitter) doesn't permit purely numerical hashtags

Don’t forget: the torrent of chaos is a tactic by Trump and Musk. If everyone is scattered and outraged about every single thing, we can't see as clearly and therefore can't act most effectively. Stay focused!

Congress controls the power of the purse, but Republicans on Capitol Hill have put up little resistance to efforts by the administration to suspend spending that they've already approved.

NEW on CNN: Marco Rubio spent years praising foreign aid and USAID as a vital part of American foreign policy according to a review of press releases and letters he sent as a Senator. Including arguing that the agency was needed to counter CCP influence www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/p...

Six ways to send a message to your representatives

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Serious question here. Congress doesn’t have the votes to stop this slow-motion coup. Courts can issue injunctions but who is going to enforce them? With a corrupt oligarchy that has shown its total disregard for law and the constitution is there anybody who can stop them?

A US judge blocked President Donald Trump's administration from moving transgender women to men's prisons and ending their gender-affirming care reut.rs/3CG9blz

None of this is legal:

A message to Elon Musk’s staffers: Your names are known, and America will ensure you never get another job again.

I seem to remember telling the uncommitted voters that Trump would level Gaza.

Breaking news: Lambda Legal and ACLU are suing on behalf of PFLAG and GLMA to end Trump's illegal executive order banning trans care under 19 years old. The suit has been brought in Maryland. A similar suit was brought on behalf of PFLAG to end child abuse investigations in TX 3 years ago.

What a month this week has been. Lemon, it's Tuesday. This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.
