Heartbreaking what they’re doing to the place. “I cannot continue to serve in such a hostile and toxic work environment, one where leadership at the highest levels makes clear we are not welcomed or valued, much less trusted to do our jobs” thehill.com/homenews/adm...

"We have a powerful case that Elon Musk is violating the United States Constitution" @normeisen.bsky.social explains the Appointments Clause. "He lectures the cabinet, he has the power of life and death over federal agencies...you can't do that under the Constitution."

My Senator is a traitor.

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

JD "Couchman" Vance implied that Zelenskyy had not thanked the US for support when Vance blew up the Oval Office meeting yesterday. The inimitable @ddale8.bsky.social found 33 public instances in English where Zelenskyy did. There are more in Ukrainian, no doubt. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

FWIW.

The truth always comes out

If Republicans pass the SAVE Act -- or any other voter suppression or election subversion law -- we will sue and we will win.💪⚖️

I want the Ukrainian people 🇺🇦 to see that when Donald Trump disrespected Zelenskyy, Canadians 🇨🇦 spontaneously gathered in his defence ❤️ :

Eric Swalwell, who apparently doesn't want to post his zingers over here. "Absolute admiration for President Zelenskyy. The guy has balls. He went into the Oval Office and stood up to Russia’s best negotiators."

Got the Elon email for the second weekend in a row. Once again, OPM has no authority to assign work to staff in other agencies. If my chain of command assigns this to me, I'll do it. If they don't, I am under no obligation to acknowledge my junk mail folder. In the meantime, I have actual work to do

“Trump and Vance displayed in the Oval Office a highly personal hatred. There was no effort here to make a case for American interests.” T & V reveal their loyalty to a hostile foreign power. Not to America. Read @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

After Russia attacked Ukraine -President Zelenskyy’s country stood as a barrier between Putin and all western democracies -Providing aid to Ukraine boosted the US economy -And Putin’s army has been devastated, greatly reducing his ability to hurt America Has JD Vance said thank you once

It Was an Ambush Friday marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy. By Tom Nichols www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah. “Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

Presidents and PMs have spoken out in defense and solidarity with Ukraine and Zelensky. Poland, Lithuania, Denmark, Canada, Croatia, Ireland, France, Moldova, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Estonia, Latvia & the Netherlands--The message is clear- "We stand with you in your fight for freedom always."

Spot on. Thank you, Rep. Swalwell

Tell the Senate: Christians say NO cuts to Medicaid: Donald Trump's Medicaid cuts are NOT a done deal. Let's lift our voices as Christians and tell the Senate to reject Trump's budget proposal now >> act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/budget-...

It's all a fucking game to these people.

I don't see why any of them should show up for this farce. Go hold events in your districts and talk to actual people. Nobody needs to watch them scowling and shaking their heads somberly on tv

Interesting. therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

How can the party that once adhered to the Reagan doctrine accept this? #BlueStormComin1 💙🌪️

Some examples of research USGS does that is at risk with RIFs and restructuring: - earth quake and volcano monitoring and warnings - landslide risk assessments - water quality testing - wildlife conservation - wildfire prevention and post-fire rehabilitation - invasive species tracking

Bezos announced WaPo opinions will “be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” There are deep problems with such an approach. Here I propose to the WaPo an oped about just what it would mean to support freedom snyder.substack.com/p/positive-f...

Newspapers in the UK now referring to it as the “Fight House.”

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Affidavit showing grants still illegally frozen. Trump regime “fog bank” strategy is to avoid calls, emails or straight answers and continue to violate the court’s order. www.njoag.gov/wp-content/u...

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Kyiv with world leaders calls Zelensky a hero, fighting a war for 3 years which was started by Russia. She urges Europe to increase support to UKR now, says Zelensky must be at the center of any negotiations with Putin #Voices4Victory youtu.be/JNs6wRvSpSU

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Hot take: Social security is good actually

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺
