I'd rather be ridin' with Biden than siding with Putin.

Highly recommend this @davidpepperoh.bsky.social Q & A with a tech expert on the Musk/Trump/hacker incursion. Terrifying but important info we all need.

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

I don't know what the rules are for these.
In all my days, I'm going to work during a Republican enabled coup d'état lead by an unelected nazi dickbag. The maga did this. They just handed it over to the billionaires. Sad.

I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves.
We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves.
We will drink Canadian whiskey.
True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.

Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is asked repeatedly to explain the specifics of what the military did to "turn on the water" to California.

She goes into a Kremlin-esque fluffing sesh for Trump and lies about Karen Bass saying it'll take 18 months for wildfire victims to "access their property."

JPMORGAN’s desk calls #DeepSeek “the first major fundamental challenge to Mag7 and the AI theme ..

“.. it is too early to abandon Mag7/AI theme especially with earnings this week. That said, I do think this accelerates the timing on when the market will want to see an ROI on AI investments ..”

Mike Turner says that when Speaker Johnson ousted him as chair of the intel committee, he told him that "an element included concerns from Mar-a-Lago." (Johnson has denied this, so somebody is lying...)

Turner adds that he's "concerned" about the new direction of the committee.

It’s been less than a week, and whew! Everything’s unraveling at breakneck speed—can’t help but wonder what chaos next week will bring.

Looks like the folks at #TheWeekend are feeling it too.

Footage from last year is now resurfacing of Trump promising to “end inflation” starting on “day one.”

— Egg prices are up.
— Gas prices are up.
— He is promising tariffs that will raise prices even more.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.
