The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

“something i don’t like happened on signal, so therefore signal shouldn’t be trusted and is bad” im not surprised but still find it hard to believe this is what many people are taking away from this lol use signal

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

The Democratic Party needs to ban corporate money in the Party primaries. Doing anything less will not solve the problem. There are Democratic oligarchs, too.

I need an expert to determine if it's my period, the retrograde, the state of the world, or all 3 😅 🙃 😤.

Zohran Mamdani—the NY assemblyman who went viral last week for publicly confronting Trump's Border Czar—raised more than $840,000 over the last two months and has more than 16,000 total donors to his mayoral campaign, per the NYT. Hell yea.

“She describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.” Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.

The eventual fate of the GOP

@durbin.senate.gov I want to let you know that because of your vote today I will be donating to and volunteering for your primary opponent. I think I will have company. you have been in the Senate a long time and you have lost touch with the people of Illinois. prepare for the fight of your life.

Chuck Schumer right now:

I SPENT ALL MY DISPOSABLE INCOME ($30) AT THE USED BOOKS STORE may god have mercy on my soul

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

I live for the shift from seasonal depression to regular depression 🌞🌻🌈

Bernie out there working.

“Motherfuckers, that is the broader electorate.”

ADHD? Me? No, carrying around a stack of a dozen books that you're 10-80% of the way into, and may never finish, is very typical behavior.

“Sorry VP, sold out”— JD Vance met with pro-Ukraine protests as he tries to go skiing ⛷️ in Vermont

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

Ready and waiting for Europe to invade us. Please?

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Microsoft, your AI shit will absolutely turn me into a Linux nerd.

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

I bet doom scroll meant something way cooler in the middle ages.

At least two of his guys were apparently given Admin level access to the system and deployed code into production with no test, no change controls, no audit logs, and no independent code review. Unfortunately, we must assume the systems are compromised and they’ll need to be rebuilt.

Our Midwestern values are under siege. At such a critical time for civil and labor rights in this country, Illinois is doubling down on our commitment to protecting all Illinoisans. In doing so, we're solidifying our status as a place of welcome and opportunity for all.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?
