I’m sorry trump voters - it was evident who he was since he came down the elevator, made fun of the disabled reporter, separated babies from their parents, banned Muslims for no reason — I hope you do some soul searching about why you didn’t see it & why you believed his lies @maddow.msnbc.com

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward.

Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it.

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities:

We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA:
- Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies
- Air traffic control support staff

Under Paul Dans, Project 2025 assembled a database of more than 10,000 Trump loyalist job candidates ready to place into federal agencies. It's a ready-use toolkit to create a second Trump administration that would be more MAGA than his first.

A very good “talk you off the ledge” discussion.
💯 Tune out the nihilistic noise. Listen to actual legal experts, like the brilliant and honest Prof. @stevevladeck.bsky.social.

Yes, we can defeat much of the Trump legal agenda . . . in court. We won't win every case, but we will fight and throw sand in the gears.

In the aftermath of natural disasters, scammers are quick to exploit survivors.

If you’re impacted by the LA fires, be vigilant:

– FEMA will never charge fees for disaster aid
– Always ask for ID from inspectors
- Verify building contractors
– Report fraud to 866-720-5721

He orchestrated a coup. It failed.

He was a convicted felon.

He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric.

He promised to make things great again.

He threatened to annex his neighbors.

I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

Some more long-distance storm chasing on #Jupiter! Every 4-5 years, we see amazing outbreaks of billowing clouds on a northern mid-latitude jet (the North Temperate Belt, NTB). A new outbreak started Jan 10th. We normally get 2-4 eruptions, all at different longitudes.
