@nicollewallace.bsky.social LOVE your show for its smart and in-depth analysis. Please consider exploring Russia's endgame. They're losing in Ukraine, their economy is crashing, their casualties are ridiculous. So why provoke NATO? Is the US creating an opportunity too good to pass up?

More propaganda with painfully normal people zip-tied at the side of the road please, this will for sure convince the American people that you're the good guys

EXTRAORDINARY The most record breaking day the world has ever seen in NOW. Dozens of thousands of records are being brutalized allover the world,including multiple world records by latitude and altitudes. Nothing ever seen in 2+ centuries of climatology gets close. Wait for MANY posts coming.

What happened to states' rights? So much hypocrisy and contradiction.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Elbows up!!

DOGE is the government waste.

Great constitutional separation of powers lesson today. Court says president can’t fire workers in violation of laws passed by Congress. Didn’t Trump ever watch Schoolhouse Rock?

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

US utility-scale battery storage capacity exceeded 26 GW in 2024, according to US EIA. In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as operators report plans to add 19.6 GW. www.eia.gov/todayine...

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

It’s borderline criminal.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Next week, House Republicans will vote on a blueprint that could lead to $880 billion in Medicaid cuts, big cuts to spending on food stamps, and more big tax cuts for rich/corporations. Trump's own pollster finds broad opposition to these priorities. newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Musk and DOGE are closing local Social Security offices, making it hard for people with disabilities to access help. Frank Bisignano, former FISERV CEO, is Trump’s nominee for commissioner of Social Security. He is likely to expand this. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Now this, I can co-sign.

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Some good news for a change Scientists found solar farms had a greater number of species & individual birds per hectare than surrounding arable land Solar did not pose a threat to national food security, esp when built on low or moderate grade agricultural land www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

Listen up, you star-spangled dipshits… because while you were telling me to “cry harder” for the bazillionth time today cuz I have the nerve to care about kids with cancer… THEY “ACCIDENTALLY” FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO OVERSEE OUR NUCLEAR STOCKPILE. Wake the fuck up dumbfucks.

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system - putting backdoors into Treasury This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

Zelensky is putting a brave face on what is shaping up to be a disastrous & dangerous policy shift. So far, the policy of the U.S., -no Ukraine’s in NATO -Ukraine’s security Europe’s problem -It’s okay for Russia to use military force to violate sovereignty, take territory… NATO has to be terrified

The CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, is warning of layoffs due to Trump’s policies. Assembly plants likely to be hit: OHIO/MICHIGAN/KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE “President Trump has talked a lot about making our U.S. auto industry stronger… So far what we’re seeing is a lot of cost and a lot of chaos”

Goldman: "My Republican colleagues are so weak and afraid of Donald Trump that they're willing to undermine their own constitutional authority just to please them. You're giving away your own power in fealty to Donald Trump."

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.

BREAKING: Judge Carl Nichols - a Trump appointee - announced he will pause Trump’s effort to gut USAID. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Here's footage of Sean Duffy doing a podcast claiming that Buttigieg "sucks at his job." Meanwhile, Duffy's overseen 4 collisions in the last WEEK and is MIA. 1/29: DC crash 1/31: Philadelphia crash 2/5: Japan Airlines plane strikes Delta flight in Seattle 2/6: Bering Air flight wrecks in Alaska

The answer is yes www.vanityfair.com/news/story/i...

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

“Whistleblowers are needed now more than any time in my time in public service.” -Sen Ron Wyden, quoted in this piece. I think we should take this warning extremely seriously. We're in real trouble and insiders need to step up. newrepublic.com/article/1911...

Elon says nobody actually voted for Harris, it’s all a hoax funded by USAID. This man is not well.

Add this development to Pam Bondi’s 1st day memo killing off most FARA cases (FARA prohibits in essence foreign interference unless disclosed to DOJ) .

I saw these decals posted on Twitter the other day … It would be terrible to Swasticar owners if other people did this. Terrible I would not condone it. 😜

ALERT TO FEDERAL WORKERS: The Thursday “deadline” set by Musk isn’t a thing. Congress hasn’t appropriated the funds to pay you what he promised should you resign by today — nor has Congress authorized anyone to threaten you with losing anything for staying on. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

"Social media companies have poisoned our politics with their addictive hate algorithms, done unforgivable harm to our kids’ mental health, and fueled a war against our democratic institutions." Big Tech is not our friend. That and more advice for Dems from Tom Malinowski:

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

It seems current models fail to show correctly how increasing oceans temperatures impact productivity (aka 'life'!). Improved models "may project even greater declines in future ocean productivity, even under high mitigation scenarios that currently predict relatively stable productivity".
