Who else is holding their breath during this press conference that the President is going to spill highly classified information while he goes on and on rambling incompetently?!

Republican members of Congress launched a new conspiracy theory to justify absolving Donald Trump from any responsibility for the insurrection on January 6. You are going to start hearing this from Trump supporters in your life and I humbly suggest you respond with the analogy I use in this video.

“Because the truth is, Republicans aren’t just playing to win — they’re playing to end the game entirely. They don’t want fair elections; they want fixed outcomes. They don’t want to debate policy; they want to decide who’s even allowed on the ballot.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

When children are starving to death, you do everything in your power to feed them. It’s not complicated. Feed starving kids. No matter what.

A whole lotta people who were in favor of war with Iraq but now pretend they opposed it are suddenly in favor of war with Iran and I’d like them to skip years ahead to the part where they’re against it but this time I’d like to skip the part where we get into an unnecessary war.

but seashells!

This is amazing! The Big Ten schools, which for those of was who follow sports, realize is now 18 schools, are forming a NATO type compact to counter any attacks on the schools by Trump. And these are mostly Midwest schools, so hardly the bastion of liberalism. I gifted this wapo.st/3EDjyYi

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

We can only hope...

New generation of leadership!

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Poor Stefanik. All that ass kissing and personality changing just to lose her leadership position and get her nomination pulled. Anyway, I had Greek yogurt for breakfast. With blueberries.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

Trump's shocking project to relocate federal agencies away from the National Capital Region is designed to dismantle the government itself. Let's stop them before they put the White House in Moscow to be closer to the home office.

hey, Sen. Ernst and Sen. Tillis- proud of your votes for Hegseth? This is on your too as much as Hegseth. You knew he was not remotely qualified

Genius.

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know. But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media. Asshole.

No purpose other than intimidation!

😅🤣

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

I watched most of the hearings this morning. CIA Director Ratcliffe is pathetic and should resign if he means what he says. Was he saying that because they were stupid and careless, but the mission did not get fucked up in spite of them, that we should all just forget this? RESIGN!!!!

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE: -Website crashed 4 times in 10 days -Phone lines are overwhelmed -Staff being forced out -Customer experience office eliminated -SSA field offices on the chopping block This is an attack on Social Security itself.

so telling that Hesgeth’s reflexive reaction was to trash Goldberg as “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes. This is a guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does.” That’s what happens when you get a Fox News guy at Sec DoD

This suit fits him perfectly.

Please remember that Donald Trump was 100% against electric vehicles screaming drill baby drill and now suddenly he’s amazed at a car that’s been around for 10 years and is clearly so out of touch that I wouldn’t even let him walk my dog.

Kudos to Senator Kelly—a former astronaut, veteran and man of honor who supports our democratic ally Ukraine—for pushing back against the arrogant buffoon Elon Musk who violates our laws and dares to call Kelly a traitor.

What does it mean for DOGE to "make mistakes" with seniors' Social Security? Long wait times, underpayments, or no payments at all. The richest man in the world is sticking his fingers in the benefits our seniors have paid for their entire working lives.

What’s triumphant about an American president lying his way through a rambling, bizarre, and often incoherent speech intended to further divide the country?

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman.”

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

Georgia protestors on day 84 of mass protests stand in solidarity with Ukraine: "Glory to Ukraine, glory to Georgia, fire to oligarchy" (📹 @mariamnikuradze.bsky.social ) #3E #Georgiaprotests #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine #Feb19

Lots of heroes in this world - keep looking for them….

Trump is trying to single handedly save Russia from certain collapse

Wow! AOC has been caught telling immigrants their rights. No wonder Tom Homan is outraged. If people start exercising their rights, it could really impede ICE.

In early 2024, Georgia protestors started flying US flags when US lawmakers showed them even the slightest solidarity. This is why visible international support is necessary, especially when fighting against oligarchy, impunity, and autogenocide. We all have the same enemy. #3E

🚨 WHOA!!! Sen. Whitehouse: Mark my words. This Patel guy will come back to haunt you. Every piece of evidence shows that.

Cutting cancer research to own the libs? New day, same backwards thinking bullshit

Trump is doing by executive order what he is too weak to do by legislation. He does not have the votes in Congress. He wouldn't be able to get ANY of this passed if he tried. He is the WEAKEST incoming president in 50 years.

BREAKING: Attorneys for the Justice Department have agreed to temporarily restrict DOGE staffers' access to information in the Treasury Department’s payment system.
