🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

While you’re not watching the Super Bowl and Trump’s ugly mug, you might want to take a look at these awesome folks and maybe give them a follow.

Holy shit this cartoon.

Call your reps! The MAGA folks are. Since Trump is “flooding the zone” use it to your advantage, pick a different single issue every day to call about and keep calling. Today it’s USAID, tomorrow it’s trans rights, etc. If you don’t know their numbers or what to say, @5calls.org can help.

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Read and act. The time for Democratic and True Republicans to act is now. If he is not stopped now there may be no stopping him!

The DOGE kids showing up at Treasury:

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

the point is not that it's fast -- the point it that it's systematic. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/o...

Trump has just effectively shut down the NLRB and kneecapped unions. Big win for Musk & Bezos l.smartnews.com/p-ivqH7bb/oP...

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

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.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
 We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.
