The Trump Administration = the ultimate Turd Duken.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

@hcrichardson.bsky.social a question, there seems to be a FB group with your name in the title, do you have any connection with it? Seems they're putting out a bad list of Project 2025 "contributors" and it's spreading under your name. I'll help put out that fire if I'm right re no connection.

Crockett: "I support that we should not be voting for this funding bill bc it's gonna gut the things that we care about. And I don't believe that we can enter in good faith negotiations w/ ppl that literally could care less about their word... they have a Trump trifecta. Y'all better figure it out."

Trump and House Republicans are trying to sneak through a dangerous bill that would block millions of American citizens from registering to vote...

Trump stands on the graves in Bucha and says it's Ukraine who started it. Fortunately Wiki doesn't forget. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucha_m...

On the left: President Trump: "I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk ... will lead the Department of Government Efficiency ('DOGE")" On the right: Government declaration (by Joshua Fisher) submitted to Judge Chutkan stating Elon Musk is not the leader of DOGE

Nice day for a protest, Arizona State Capitol.

I think he lost the weight to become unrecognizable knowing his security wasn't assured.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

🚨🚨🚨 “Chancellor Olaf Scholz accused Mr. Vance of effectively violating a commitment to never again allow Germany to be led by fascists who could repeat the horrors of the Holocaust. ‘A commitment to “never again” is not reconcilable with support for the AfD.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

TRUMPFLATION!

UPDATE: Judge CHUTKAN has called a 4pm hearing on the lawsuit over Elon Musk's authority to run DOGE.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Exclusive: Seven witnesses tell me that CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp allegedly engaged in lewd conduct and allegedly sexually assaulted a man at a bar on Saturday night near a property he owns in north-central Virginia. My Story: bit.ly/4b1XMJO

I see a room full of grifters and pickpockets.

Asha Rangappa prebunks Elon Musk's Super Bowl propaganda, and explains his personal animus against USAID, America’s humanitarian relief agency.

I wrote about the importance of "prebunking," in light of rumors that Elon Musk may have purchased $40 million in Super Bowl ads to spread misinformation about the "fraud" and "corruption" in this vital agency. I hope you will read and share asharangappa.substack.com/p/prebunking...

JD Vance won’t stand up for his own family. Think he’ll stand up for yours?

BREAKING: we have secured an order that BLOCKS the government from releasing the names of the 6000 FBI agents being illegally targeted by Trump & Bondi for their lawful work on the January 6 cases! A big win by @sddaction.bsky.social & our incredible partners for rule of law & the FBI

UPDATE: The Vice President wants the racist DOGE staffer reinstated 👇🏽 One of his comments was “normalize Indian hate” (Vance’s wife is Indian-American) www.huffpost.com/entry/doge-s...

@scorchsky.bsky.social i like the cut out figures, don't you?

Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)

Thank you Senator Schatz - who thinks we need more action like this? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, sausage at Bob Evans, and then down to the old Treasury Department servers to download every American’s Social Security number. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

I posted something sincere to focus on the grieving families and send peace and strength during an extremely difficult time and the amount of grief I am getting from that is exhausting,,, people lost their lives and I just want to respect and send love to all the victims and friends and family.

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel: "Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th." BOOM! 🔥

BENNET: Did you blame Biden and NATO for Russia invaded Ukraine? GABBARD: I believe you are reading my tweet, senator BENNET: Yes is the answer.

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

RFK Jr. has not had a great week. Between two disastrous Senate confirmation hearings and a damning letter from Caroline Kennedy, his path to becoming Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services is hardly assured. But can Democrats swing 4 Republicans against him? The Big Picture breaks it down.

MARKEY: Under oath you claimed that when you went to Samoa 'it had nothing to do with vaccines' RFK Jr: Yes MARKEY: Well, I have in my hands a blog post in which you say that an anti-vax group you ran offered to fund the trip and that the trip was ultimately arranged by an anti-vaccine activist

If you’re a democratic lawmaker you need to be on camera in your office telling specific stories you’ve heard from your constituents about this freeze right now. My DM’s are open to any office that needs assistance or aid in editing or filming guidance.

Chris Murphy said Connecticut Pre-schools can’t pay their staff because of the freeze. Mark Warner said Domestic Violence shelters are likely to have to shut down in Virginia. Maxwell Frost said the Medicaid portal is shut down in Florida. Donald Trump did this.

The DOJ argued in court that Indigenous people don't have birthright citizenship, even though they have for 100 years via @diinsilversmith.bsky.social

Deploying 82nd Airborne and 10th Mountain elements to the border for a dog and pony show is an insult to their capabilities. Capable of deploying anywhere on the planet in 18 hours, the 82nd Airborne is a cornerstone of our military readiness and force projection capability.

I appear on @CNN often. And if saying this means my days at CNN are over, then fuck it. CNN, removing @Acosta.bsky.social from his am show is cowardly bullshit. Acosta is an independent, unafraid host. To demote him to appease the crybaby in the White House is pathetic. Shame on u CNN. Don’t do it.
