News Analysis: The deaths of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons were swept back to the forefront of Israel’s collective consciousness this week in such an unsettling way that it renewed alarm about the fragile Gaza cease-fire. nyti.ms/3X7MldO

Ma'am this is a pet cemetery

Civility doesn’t seem to be working either.

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

🔥🔥🔥

Breaking news: 57 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump has exceeded his authority since taking office for his second term, according to a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll.

👀

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa

If you were born white, male and in the United States of America, and you still managed to grow up and be frustrated and unhappy, it's you MAGA. It's you. IT'S YOU!

My best investment advice

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

The key point that was made in this clip is that it happened organically. We don’t come from the consultant class, we get zero legacy media hype, we don’t get invited on shows & don’t want to be on TV, no big money donors writing checks. It all happened one person at a time. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Musk’s “millions of dead people on Social Security” claim falls apart when you check the facts. The SSA pays $1T a year, with a 1% error rate—mostly overpayments to living people. The “fraud” Musk found? Old records of people born pre-1920, not getting payments. But why let facts ruin a viral post?

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.

No one should be surprised. But it’s still appalling.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

Btw last time a Trumpist idiot discussed the NYC subways it was Gingrich insisting "those elitists who rode around in SUBWAYS!" Alina Blah-blah is really, really stupid

WE NEED A NEW COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF: Trump posts we aren’t at risk in a European War because the Atlantic Ocean will protect us He doesn’t know Oceanic Defense was disproved in the ‘20s and at Pearl Harbor. We’re in danger GET THE ALL-NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST tinyurl.com/bdhmjb44

They didn't "save money." They starved kids and fired watchdogs. That all costs us more in the long run.

“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.”

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A coalition of congressional Republicans from the New York area rebuked President Trump for cuts to a federal program that administers aid to emergency workers and others suffering from toxins related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

Uh oh, there's a SHERIFF'S REPORT about Matt Schlapp?

Of course.

2 of the worst people you know are fighting again🍿... Steve Bannon on Elon Musk: "Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values, or traditions.”

How do we even know that Elon's DOGE hackers aren't using their computer skills to peel money off of everyone's Social Security accounts? WE DON'T KNOW. There is no transparency. All we know is Elon's goal was to *find* 2 trillion dollars without touching Social Security, and that's impossible.

We are so grateful to the sources and families who trusted us with this reporting. Investigative reporting is more critical than ever in this moment in history. Support the fourth estate!

Odd, how the same people who got all rilled up about “government interference in our livelihoods” when people had taken advice from Dr. Fauci to save their lives don’t seem to care when Elon Musk has taken their jobs to profit himself.

248 years in, and the presidency is still pushing boundaries. Word on the street is the White House is scouting locations on Mars—finally, a safe distance from Congress.

Can anyone find a copy of this wrap ad that the Post had no problem running last fall? Would love to see it. thehill.com/media/514849...

The DOGE Website was hacked right after it was launched, if you want to know how masterfully skilled Elon’s little army of minions are. Hint: not at all.

“Trump has packed so much illegal, unconstitutional, lawless activity into three-and-half weeks that the press, politicians, and many Americans have already forgotten or normalized activity that can only be described as a coup.” — Robert Hubbell Newsletter Feb. 13, 2025

Every fucking day.
