Why has this story been buried? Trump's KGB codename Krasnov. www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

Extremely fascist things happening. While everyone sits there obediently.

So many threads to pull here; the atrocious grasp of history & geopolitik, the glib lie about how the war in Ukraine began, the disgraceful abandonment of European allies. But it’s the alignment with the war criminal Putin, no friend of ours, that sticks out. What won’t Trump do to harm us?

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Brazil charges former president Jair Bolsonaro with attempting to lead a coup after he lost the 2022 election. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.

Elon Musk’s claim of Social Security fraud is…a fraud. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

"Trump Wants a Monarchy, Not a Presidency. He Must Be Stopped" Writing for Zeteo, constitutional law professor @kimwehle.bsky.social says we are in danger of losing our democracy over the president's false claim to unlimited executive power under Article II. Read/share: zeteo.com/p/trump-mona...

Trump is trying to single handedly save Russia from certain collapse

Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists. The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

Marc is a budget guy with the CRFB 👇🏽 We know it’s hard to debunk Elon’s firehose of lies. But try.

BRENNAN: Vance was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide & he met w/head of a party w/far-right views RUBIO: I have to disagree. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime. There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was also no opposition

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

This is fascism.

Just a coincidence.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

404 continues to absolutely kill it.

Your oligarchy, ladies and gentlemen

“Without the threat of legal enforcement to fend off bribe-seekers, some American executives will struggle to say no. ‘It’s a really good time to be a corrupt official in Russia or Asia,’ Tillipman says.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Though the Trump Administration renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, the U.S. only lays claim to 46% of the gulf. Learn more about who controls what and why here: nyti.ms/41czLfw

Just got this press release. Beyond dystopian.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

New button just dropped.

USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇 adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-mo...

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.

You piece of shit! See? This is why I'll never let up! You'll never be able to have this narrative as truth as long as I'm around. Those terrorist attacked us because of you Donald.

"The core argument emerging in their legal filings and executive orders — one without support anywhere in the Constitution or the law — is that simply by being elected, Trump has the power to do whatever he wants."

Yale Law wants its degree back. And Vance needs to go back to school to learn about separation of powers…

Make no mistake. We are in the midst of a complete and total Constitutional crisis.

Under a rock yesterday? Check this out.

1/Last August, there was reporting on a conversation Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 who was confirmed just by the Senate over the objection of every Dem & Independent to head OMB (sort of like the HR office for the feds), had with people he thought were donors. But they were journalists.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast announces that he's signing an order directing AG Pam Bondi to head a task force "to eradicate anti-Christian bias"

How very Soviet of Trump and MAGA. They can’t handle the truth.

1/Yesterday, Pam Bondi issued a memo saying prosecutors couldn't refuse to sign a motion in a case they were assigned to w/out being fired. Now, we begin to see why with this unprecedented attack on Illinois Governor over immigration. Sign or be fired. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The latest from @dell.bsky.social @wired.com: A lawsuit alleges that Elon Musk’s "associates illegally connected a server [at OPM] to a government network for the purposes of harvesting information, including the names and email accounts of federal employees." www.wired.com/story/federa...
