Trump administration to sell USDA South Building. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Repeat of White House East Wing demolition? New Trump Hotel? Witkoff? Kushner? Saudi? Qatar? www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Maybe Trump can take a wrecking ball to the USDA building. Unfortunate for 2,600 employees who live in DC metro who will have to move to 1 of 5 new locations. USDA currently has 4,600 employees in the DC area and is looking to shrink that number to 2,000. federalnewsnetwork.com/reorganizati...

The unethical Bill Ackman and RFK Jr.-funded HepB vaccination trial in Guinea-Bissau will NOT be happening. Still needing to be addressed in my opinion is the question of whether the Bandim Health Project in Guinea-Bissau currently has any legitimate ethics oversight.

I really enjoyed speaking with @micahloewinger.bsky.social for @onthemedia.bsky.social about the long history of U.S. media capture. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

I really hope Orbán loses upcoming election. He’s a serious problem for the EU.

To understand the methods that Trump’s FCC is using to put pressure on television networks, we have to go back to the 1920s. A history lesson on how we got here, with @jimrutenberg.bsky.social: lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

Wait --- look who is in the FBI files circa 2021 --

Me with a scoop/exclusive Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities “directed” NY law enforcement authorities to “stand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. Part of new Timeline on NY and Epstein.

I had nothing to do with the latest episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social so I can honestly say the team crushed it this week. Listen to Brooke heroically take on the right-wing lawyer helping the FCC target ABC, CBS, et al. His vision for the future of American media is quite frightening. Listen:

Boom. SCOTUS strikes down Trump’s tariffs. www.bloomberg.com/news/live-bl...

This is quite a nice photo of a floral pastel in progress. It's not recent (2012) and the resulting pastel I think was sold. Some of these photos have our lovely (late) cat Millie posing in the middle. That ceramic owl has been in several paintings. #pastel #floral #flowerpainting

The President says he has cut the trade deficit by 78%. But this chart (which tells the truth) tells a very different story. We had this big lousy trade war, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs." Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha... oh, wow." Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all.

"Enough is enough. The billionaire class cannot have it all. This nation belongs to all of us." — Bernie Sanders abc7news.com/post/bernie-...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

When a federal judge calls out the Orwellian conduct of the president, it’s serious. Trump administration trying to erase the history of slavery. RESIST!

Google and Meta are being accused of designing their social media products to be addictive and harmful to children’s brains in a lawsuit that just went to trial. @madlinbmek.bsky.social explains the novel legal arguments being used to skirt Section 230: on-the-media.visitlink.me/SoQBVy

... Real trials of charges against Bondi and Noem and Vance and Trump. With real evidence and witnesses. Make clear to that jury of 100 that the world will forever remember their votes and whether they were faithful to the Constitution they've sworn to uphold.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

so glad this is getting picked up. #women #lawyers

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

🇨🇦🇺🇸 My American friends it’s a Democratic Super Majority in the Senate that can end it all… Achieving 60 seats in the Senate this Midterm would be a Herculean feat. But they could remove them ALL!!!…

Everyone around the world knows that Trump and his admin is full of shit on the “ending 8 wars” claims, but all they can do is roll their eyes and laugh amongst themselves because the petulant child and his cultists like Waltz will get mad if they call it out publicly.

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.” - President John F Kennedy

Everyone in America should see this and think about what it implies. And have the courage, like him, to stand up.

This needs A LOT more attention!!!

The AG insulted Congress and Minnesota Demanded voter data with no legal basis Stonewalled Epstein survivors @democracydefendersfund.org & @democracydefendersaction.org are fighting back in court AND in the regulatory arena. Here's how — and why both matter this week on @contrariannews.org 👇

Great news for climate! A record number of green energy projects are underway. 👏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison
