“If, however, Europe can turn its indignation into decisive action, matching and indeed overtaking the American pace, there is an opportunity to mount a genuine defense of Ukraine and the continent as a whole.” @samagreene.bsky.social

#Emails2Doge Dear Manager, What I did this week: 1. I had eyes that burn like cigarettes. 2. I had the right allocations. 3. I was fast and thorough and sharp as a tack. 4. I played with my jewelry, putting up my hair. 5. I toured the facility and picked up slack.

Trump is not forever. But we need peace for many years – Zelenskyy

@jamestaylor-com.bsky.social’s self-titled debut album was released in the USA in February, 1969. He was one of the guiding voices of my generation. He generally stays silent on politics, but, he could hold it in no longer. Thank you, once again, Sweet Baby James. #StandWithUkraine

"For all the big talk about putting an end to “social engineering,” the Great Resegregation is itself a radical attempt to socially engineer America to be poorer, whiter, less equal, and less democratic." - @adamserwer.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

JFC. This is pure spite.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

It doesn’t work that way lil bro😭🙏🏻

This is Russian propaganda.

Trump openly embracing monarchic rhetoric while dismantling NYC’s congestion pricing is yet another authoritarian power grab. Calling himself "king" isn't just a joke—it's an outright admission of his dictatorial aspirations. 1/2

Dog Shirt TV is really good! You all should consider it. Ben Wittes, his Canadian producer and a couple of great Finns discuss the Munich Conference from the perspective of Europe and our other former (?) allies. It's pretty scary. But great clarity. @benwittes m.youtube.com/watch?v=PLUZ...

This picture probably perfectly reflects the latest scandalous news…

Did Musk fire hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration employees to increase "efficiency"? I don't think so. There is a better explanation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

Climate change is moving faster than scientists projected & they're not totally sure why. One possible explanation is declining cloud cover. If that's true, we may be entering a feedback cycle that accelerates warming much faster than we've modeled.

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

Hey friends, I decided to leave MSNBC. You can read why in my new piece on Substack. ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/glennkir...

Perhaps I need to remind it. As a Ukrainian, I will stand till the end. You may support us, You may not. But we are on the right side of history, and people should fight for what is right. Night-night from Kyiv.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Dear Europe, Bit of a switcheroo here. Please get your shit together asap because we’re a mess. Please protect Ukraine, kick the US out of NATO and build an army for yourselves. Les Misérables over here are sharpening the guillotines. We’ll get rid of them eventually. Thanks!

We have Musk protest events popping up at Tesla showrooms and plants all over the country and many more here and worldwide. Join or create your own event at Teslatakedown.com

this is very good and i’d add that there will be a “if you build it, they will come” effect for Dems

After SecDef Hegseth's comments on Ukraine and reporting on Trump's call with Putin, one thing is clear: This Administration is ready and willing to throw Ukraine under the Bus. At Country First, we stand with Ukraine. www.country1st.com/ukraine

I love this

Trump selling out Ukraine to Putin. Loathsome POS #SlavaUkraini

Now she's speaking our language! Great fork drop. #fork

I think Trump might be moving back through the “West Wing” catalog www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

Ok. This is seriously fun and interesting.

Breaking: A federal judge just issued an emergency order prohibiting Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing personal and financial data on millions of Americans at the Treasury Dept. — noting the potential for irreparable harm.

The conditions are in place until another judge hears arguments on Feb. 14.

Federal Judge Bars Musk’s DOGE from Treasury Department Records A federal judge has blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Treasury Dept. materials. The judge also ordered Musk and his team to “immediately destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Dept. records”

MAGA propaganda so bad that even russian propaganda is debunking it, what the hell is going on anymore

“If the objective is to scare people who look up raids in Idaho, that would be a good way to accomplish it. That would be a good way to mislead people.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Guys: The stuff going on at the National Archives is *nuts*. Much worse than is being reported. Full story here. (Unlocked for everyone today.) www.thebulwark.com/p/the-story-...

The Bulwark vs. Elon. I stand with Sarah Longwell and Bill Kristol. This propaganda is literally unbelievable. Support the Bulwark!
