I first started reporting on the Republican-Russian-Musk plan to crash the US economy back in early 2021. Here's my piece from summer 2024. No one can say no one knew this was coming. washingtonspectator.org/peter-thiel-...

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

Among those laid off yesterday: FDA's senior veterinarians working in a center that's played a key role in the response to the bird flu outbreak w/ @lenasun.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This ⬇️ There are absolutely ZERO REASONS to frame this in any way other than a five alarm constitutional crisis authoritarian power grab. It’s not funny in the least.

Read this.

Yep

This is illegal: Musk announced in an overnight post on X that he’ll hand out million-dollar checks at a Sunday night event in Wisconsin—but only to those who voted in the state’s Supreme Court election. Why is Elon so invested in this race? Tesla is facing legal challenges in Wisconsin.

Bingo

So the Signal incident is out of the news cycle already?!

Senate Republicans voted Thursday to overturn a $5 cap on bank overdraft fees, leaving working class people vulnerable to exploitation from financial institutions. Please tell everyone you know, MAGA included, that REPUBLICANS did this. They don't work for you. newrepublic.com/post/193279/...

Do you get it yet, law firms? What’s happening isn’t an isolated threat to Paul Weiss or Covington or Perkins Coie. It’s an existential threat to the independence of the legal profession. You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next. Say something. Do something.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

GEO Group, whose stock is valued at $4 billion, says that Washington's minimum wage laws don’t apply to the cleaning services that it’s asked detained migrants to perform at facilities where they’re kept. By @mckenziefunk.com

"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

REPORT: Information from the Ministry of Health database reveals that 73% of those killed in Israeli strikes today are children, women, or the elderly.

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

You know what stories I would like to read and hear about? People who have been pushed even more to the left/progressive/ Dem socialist side after the last several years-- and after everything happening with the Dem establishment now.

Schumer's alternative to the shutdown was a 30 day extension. Process. What setting clear priorities. Here is a sample: 1. No more firings or office closures at the Social Security Administration. 2. Restore funding for cancer research. 3. Don't require DC to lay off teachers mid-school year

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.

A 10-year-old CITIZEN girl recovering from brain cancer deported with her undocumented parents. Do you all feel great again? For those who refuse to call out MAGA's racism, will this do it or is still economic anxiety? www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Cannot stress Amy's second point enough. It's both morally wrong and unbelievably dangerous for Jews to allow ourselves to be used as the wedge to overturn basic civil liberties in this country.

some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Just saying the quiet part out loud

Conscience of Congress Removed: Al Green Walked Out: Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, Maxine Dexter, Andrea Salinas, LaMonica McIver, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and several others Refused to Attend: AOC, Chris Murphy, Ron Wyden, Patty Murray, Gerry Connolly, Don Beyer History will honor these names 🔝

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

We need to learn and adapt. Every single Senate Dem vote for Rubio. It got us nothing. "Rollover and play dead" got us nothing. Fight back or lose the democracy. Full stop.

#IStandWithZelenskyy 💙🇺🇦💛

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Vance is skiing at Sugarbush this weekend. Help us show him he’s not welcome in Vermont. Protest March 1 at the Pitcher Inn.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

The drama over dropping charges against Eric Adams isn't placing enough attention on the biggest victims: Immigrants who do NYC's essential jobs, now terrorized their families will be ripped apart by Adams' crooked deal with Trump's deportation goons My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
