This is Alvin. He is 19 years old but still likes to be held like a baby. Because he still is a baby. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Why are women the ones who always stand up to Trump & his admin? Cause moms are used to being the ones who put little boys in their place.

Maine Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump in a room full of reporters. Officials must keep showing people Trump is a weak tyrant. We need to show defiance collectively, because like all bullies, with pushback he will snap & break. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Remember the lies!

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication. You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

He nails it.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

👇🏽

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Remember the democratic congresspeople and senators that wanted to work with these fucking nazis!!! They are basically NAZI sympathizers!! www.splinter.com/trump-and-el...

Egg prices have now surpassed $8 per dozen.

Here’s your deep breath. Everything will be ok

This is how it’s done.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

AP sues Trump, stocks crash, consumer confidence plummets, Trump fires the ICE director over poor deportation numbers, GOP has horrible fundraising numbers, and more. Catch up on today's news!

Congressman Jeffries shows his true worth to American democracy, which is less than zero.

the stock market is now below where it was when Joe Biden left office

There’s something happening in this country.

Instant mood enhancer

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
