Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long.

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Why did Jake Tapper write a book on a former President while the current President is ushering in fascism and oligarchy?

Jake isn't used to getting his hands dirty fighting for democracy. If it doesn't come easy, he's not going to do it. Biden is an easy target. Trump will hit back. Hard.

I don't use "impeachment" lightly. Aside from Trump, Marco Rubio **PIPED UP** to endorse flouting a court order, and said the only person who can make foreign policy is the president, which is incorrect in more ways than he can count. High crimes, dereliction of duty, constitutionally illiterate.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs

Musk claims to be a champion for white people, but 40% of Medicaid recipients nationally are white; in states like KY, WV, and MO, whites are 74%, 65%, and 86% of Medicaid recipients, respectively.

The only group Musk champions is rich people. Everybody else can die.

The FAA and SpaceX hid the fact that they list yet another rocket this month.

Not only that, but the FAA is not going to investigate either.

And there’s your reason for forcing out the head of the FAA.

Trump's flurry of anti-trans executive orders is justified as "protecting women."

In reality, they are an attack on all women and girls, cis and trans. They make sexual abuse easier. And they're targeting research into women's health care for defunding.

In the past month attendance is down approx 5% in NYC public schools.

There is anecdotal evidence that there are immigrant families who are keeping their kids home out of fear.

How is this making us safer? healthier? stronger?

The cruelty and chaos is the point.

This video is for that one person in your life that just doesn’t fucking get it:

The Democratic “plan” is to “not get distracted” as Trump seizes Treasury, purges the FBI and the military, and completely defies all laws limiting himself, and then win back the House in 2026 by talking about inflation. It’s an awful plan.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

So excited @daverussell.bsky.social bought the “couples package” for us to see @joshgondelman.bsky.social in Buffalo on Valentines Day! What could be more romantic 💘 😂 Can’t wait!! Seriously SO EXCITED!!

"Imagine that you are a foreign leader who wishes to destroy the United States. How could you do so? The easiest way would be to get Americans to do the work themselves, to somehow induce Americans to undo their own health, law, administration, defense, and intelligence."

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.
