MAGA in 2021: Everything happening in 2021 is the current president’s fault. MAGA in 2025: Everything happening in 2025 is the previous president’s fault.

No words.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Also as I understand it the Reagan ad was run by Ontario Province, not by Canada’s federal government or privy council or whatever. Imagine if countries cut off trade with us because of shit Alabama or Vermont did.

Nice recap

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

The corruption and self-dealing is staring you in the face. Hello?

Undergrad: "Man, 10 page essay. what am I going to write in here" Lawyer: "What do you mean just 13,000 words?"

1984 wasn’t supposed to be a playbook

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live. And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home. Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures. Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Be that you're here. Elon has boosted Magats they've taken over my feed which I had carefully curated.

“.. the reality is that the Qatari jet can’t ever be upgraded to meet the mandated requirement for Air Force One that it should be able to repel a missile or drone attack. So forget it being anything other than a gift for the president’s retirement.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

NEW: Russell Vought, acting head of CFPB and director of OMB, just killed a rule to protect US residents' personal information from predatory data brokers. @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the scoop: www.wired.com/story/cfbp-q...

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

Are tariffs a distraction from NSA firings? Trump downplays the role of far-right activist in firings of NSC staff www.npr.org/2025/04/04/n...

#corybooker is a #hero

I get that the rich want fewer IRS agents so they can underpay taxes but many of us need help from agents (to answer calls), or find answers online, or to file free.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Rule following ICE is demoted for not deporting enough people. What's next? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Trump is interfering with Brazilian sovereignty to help his corrupt, election-denying, Covid-minimizing (it's the flu), gay -hating buddy, Bolsonaro. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Math is hard

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Elon had the FDA employees who were reviewing his brain implant company fired: www.yahoo.com/news/fda-sta...

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

How was this contract awarded??!

Knowledge is power…

I’m old enough to remember when Klein said (a few days ago) that Trump wasn’t going through Congress because he was weak.

Really strong warnings on cigarettes in Mexico City!

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Happy Valentine's Day! And/or TGIF and/or Happy Payday!

People would flip out of that government required DEI programs in all companies of a certain size. Why are they ok with the government prohibiting those same programs? Don't they want less government involvement in private businesses?

In December, NYT revealed that Elon Musk and SpaceX were failing to meet govt reporting protocol designed to protect state secrets while they haul in billions in Pentagon contracts. This triggered three reviews, according to the NYT. One was from the Defense Department inspector general. 1/

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."
