Heartbreaking news. We’ve lost another legend . Dolly was not only a super-talented singer, songwriter and actress, she was a generous philanthropist.

@markwarner.bsky.social Do not cave. There will never be a vote on the ACA subsidies. Anyone who votes for it is just another sycophant enabling Trump's authoritarian regime.

Very well-put!
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
This is definitely an authoritarian move. Our country is in deep trouble with this administration's actions.
Under the DC Home Rule act, Trump is allowed to federalize DC police during an emergency (which doesn’t exist right now), but only for 48 hours. This can possibly be extended to 30 days with notice to Congress, but it’s also subject to judicial review.

New song coming out Friday!
My band and I are excited to announce that we’ll be releasing 90 songs in 90 days! Sure, right now it’s only one song and it’s coming out Friday. The rest will follow very very quickly. Or maybe not. Anyway here’s the link to pre-add/pre-save the one that *is* coming out: clg.lnk.to/cjnd-HowSmal...
Yes! Institutions must find their spines and speak up!
I had a REALLY lovely time talking to @milesklee.bsky.social at Rolling Stone about why The Onion is thriving. It's because we're one of the only legacy outlets unafraid to accurately reflect the mood of this country. That mood? Everyone fucking hates this. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

THIS us exactly why our beloved democracy is so endangered. This administration is packed with unqualified,uncaring sycophants.
This is extraordinary. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t know what the right of habeas corpus is (the ancient right to go to court to challenge government detention) and offers an incoherent definition which suggests she thinks it’s a presidential power to deport people?

This is outrageous! Who determined Afghanistan is safe for women and children? Women have no rights under the Taliban. Part of Project 2025 and the Authoritarian regime to Make America White Only. They should be ashamed.
NEW: As the Trump admin is flying Afrikaners here today to be resettled as "refugees," @Sec_Noem is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting women and allies who protected our troops to the Taliban to be persecuted or killed!

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

This is a point that can’t be repeated enough right now.
It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

If this happened under a Democratic administration, the GOP house would already have filed impeachment charges against everyone involved. The hypocrisy runs deep.
“Clearly, I think the White House has acknowledged it’s a mistake,” Speaker Johnson said about Trump officials sharing secret war plans over Signal. He added that he expected that “it will tighten up and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...
