CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

This is really something

Let's dispel this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn't know what he's doing

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

I love this

Egg prices are up 53%.

"I keep running this in my head and I can't think of the scenario where all of a sudden these people decide, oh my gosh, we've gone too far, we have to obey the law, even if we don't like it." @gtconway.bsky.social talks keeping our government intact with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

The new cover of TIME.

NOBODY ELECTED ELON.

Remember: The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility. They are both about ••psychopathology**.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Das ist ein Coup.

Fuck this guy. Ask any nurse or LPN or ER doc or admin clerk or social worker if they work weekends. This disrespect to our federal workforce is disgusting. Especially from this piece of shit.

What the F*** is happening. I feel like we are screaming in a void.

Let me take a crack at this: Because so many people can’t conceive of how completely deranged Trump is and accordingly insist on pretending that Trump isn’t completely deranged even though everything he says and does is completely deranged?

You guys, we are living through a coup 2.0. Except this time it looks like it will be successful, and a puerile, right-wing billionaire, not even POTUS, is going to be in charge of the U.S. Treasury, government personnel, and basically all of our personal data.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Counting …5 …4 ….3 …2 … 1. Waiting for the MAGA conspiracies re the DC American Airlines crash.

I always considered myself a “moderate” (although I was probably mistaken). This Trump administration is pushing me to be much more “leftist” than I imagined I would ever be. I wonder if this is triggering others as well.

Can anyone explain to me what the function of the Democratic Party is today and how it is serving that function? Are they still around? If so, is there any evidence of that?

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

From Europe with love. #RESIST #NAZI #MUSK
