C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Rule following ICE is demoted for not deporting enough people. What's next? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Trump is interfering with Brazilian sovereignty to help his corrupt, election-denying, Covid-minimizing (it's the flu), gay -hating buddy, Bolsonaro. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Math is hard

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Elon had the FDA employees who were reviewing his brain implant company fired: www.yahoo.com/news/fda-sta...

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

How was this contract awarded??!

Knowledge is power…

I’m old enough to remember when Klein said (a few days ago) that Trump wasn’t going through Congress because he was weak.

Really strong warnings on cigarettes in Mexico City!

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Happy Valentine's Day! And/or TGIF and/or Happy Payday!

People would flip out of that government required DEI programs in all companies of a certain size. Why are they ok with the government prohibiting those same programs? Don't they want less government involvement in private businesses?

In December, NYT revealed that Elon Musk and SpaceX were failing to meet govt reporting protocol designed to protect state secrets while they haul in billions in Pentagon contracts. This triggered three reviews, according to the NYT. One was from the Defense Department inspector general. 1/

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.

A penguin jumped on a boat to escape a Seal… so they took him to the iceberg where his friends were waiting

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz: "If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers." BOOM!

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

NEW: “Bottom line — DOJ came over and wanted to fire a bunch of J6 agents. Driscoll is an absolute stud. Held his ground and told WH proxy, DOJ, to Fuck Off.” YASSSS www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk: Blunt Rochester Booker Cantwell Coons Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Hickenlooper Kaine Kelly King (Independent) Peters Shaheen Slotkin Warner

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Florida Republicans are Trump's servants, reject DeSantis. What other legislation will they let him write for them? Florida Legislature pushes through immigration bill over DeSantis’ objections • Florida Phoenix search.app/JqzsqUxZ1nyx...

The next time you hear someone say the courts won't help protect democracy, send them this video. It is why I say democracy is on the docket! youtu.be/4s--iiS0lOA

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

@thedailyshow.com is reporting on all the J6 ers who are out committing crimes😂😂😂

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

What stupid decisions are we making today?

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.

🥴 Blessed are those who don't know the history...

Later, his Magat politicians will say there's too much sadness associated with "Reagan" airport that they will change the name to "Trump". I still call it "National".
