Bizarre story from a small town in #Maine

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

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

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Math is hard

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

Word of the day, for the umpteenth time, is ‘apricate’, the sister of ‘apricity’. It means to bask in the warmth of the sun, especially on a chilly day.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

I repeat…

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Celebrating Black History Month, more appropriately called American History.

The absurdity and asininity of the 47 administration and the pushovers that follow the #moroninchief 's every decree like it's gospel need to re-evaluate their choices.

It would seem prudent--perhaps even a brilliant business move--for billionaires like @mcuban.bsky.social and Bill Gates to set up an institute for preserving scientific expertise and then hire up all the talent being released now. Maybe locate it in Switzerland.

Saw this video and had to share. This was at the Bell Centre, never heard it so loud, this is Canadian unity 🇨🇦 #CanadianUnity

Again, it's all right out of the Twitter playbook, as @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social covered in their book. SAME EXACT THING. Except there he at least had the authority to do this. Here he does not.

The Acting Solicitor General has notified Congress of DOJ's intent to ask #SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey's Executor—a major 1935 ruling upholding the independence of agencies like the FCC, FTC, NLRB, etc. fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldoc... Because *less* independence is what we need...

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.
