Good for Jack Reed www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Remember when Senator Banks attacked a president who wasn’t engaged in litigation against almost half a dozen press outlets and stayed silent against one who was?

A woman was forcibly removed from a town hall in Idaho after talking by three unidentified men dressed in black. The sheriff was there and told her to leave. And the emcee of the event called her “the little girl” as she was dragged out. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

There are a total of 3 Park Rangers manning Yosemite National Park. I want you to wrap your head around how monumentally dangerous and irresponsible that is. People are going to die.

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

The time to BEWARE, has passed…👇 Hasn’t it?! Unfortunately. For. Everyone.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

WTH is Trump doing! This is frightening!

The Trumps have used the election victory to enrich themselves. Between Melania’s documentary and various transaction, the Trumps have pocketed nearly $80 million so far, per WSJ.

I've been thinking about this too. Those striking videos of legislators physically standing up against tyranny.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

As a concerned bird I feel like its my duty to inform the world about what we have done. #ElectionInterference #Election2024 #ElonMusk #Politics

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

The biggest story in the country right now is how many lawsuits DOJ is losing trying to defend Musk and Trump. I've never seen so many courts, so clearly outraged at the federal government. The latest one, blocks cuts at HHS and FDA. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

During his visit to a US base in Germany, Def Secretary and rapist racist, Pete Hegseth, was booed by military families. #3E

Not sure if this is real, but it sure is funny!!

Project 2025 Is Gutting Medical Funding That Helped Russell Vought’s Own Kid Its architect’s daughter has cystic fibrosis — and benefits from a “miracle drug” backed by an agency he’s attacking.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

“These stories should concern all Americans because they are our family members, neighbors and friends. No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way.” The American Bar Association speaks out. Please read and share. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

Bama Senator Howls Like Stuck Pig After She Sees NIH Cuts Impact in State talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bama-...

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Hey, where the fuck is that person who keeps showing up every four years, peels away a bunch of critical votes, and then disappears for another four years? How do people keep falling for that shit?

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

This was my brother who had DS & Alzheimers. Music brought him so much joy throughout life, but it really helped keep him happy during Alzheimers. He benefitted from DEI & an education-he worked in a salon, washing towels, making coffee & sweeping hair & the customers loved him. Best person I knew!

It's a coup.

Daily reminder with these chodes: Every accusation is a confession (and a concession).

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

lol, "vetting"

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

What's worse? Leaders that are too old or crypto bros named "bigballs" with access to your SSN?

Conservatives warning about George Soros but make the footage Elon Musk

"Elon Musk, our new unelected overlord, is mad at Bill Kristol. Very, very mad. And his hordes of online minions are mad, too...What’s really going on here is Elon thinks that by siccing an online mob on Bill, he can intimidate him—and all of us—into silence." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-real-r...
