How Speaker Mike Johnson can stop the House from functioning, in almost a coup. Is this the plan, or just a terrible blunder already underway? www.facebook.com/share/p/17Hx...

Trump was playing golf while our pilots were flying over Iran? He saw no need to be in a command center and ready for immediate communications. Incompetent or unserious - or both?

Republicans should be extra worried about what Musk is doing with the access and data gathered by DOGE. What is being put together by Palantir, using all that? Is Musk speaking up because he knows he has collected great power, based on data? Or is he just taking too many drugs?

Why the right-wing commentators on the PBS News Hour this evening?

In an unprecedented power grab, the Indiana state legislature has taken over Indiana University. They have effectively dismantled tenure protections by instituting productivity quotas and www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

Both frightening and absurd, these tariffs appear to have been created by AI (yhoo.it/3FVVu3e). Just as with the Musk/DOGE cuts in government staffing, the use of AI without thoughtful, informed assessment of the results leads to wrong outcomes (i.e. DISASTROUS). wapo.st/4iQI6ff

There are multiple sources saying all major AI's come up with the same stupid calculations for tariffs. In addition to this one, Krishnon Rohit found the same result and reported it on X. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-t...

A powerful, succinct statement about where we are in the U.S. www.facebook.com/roman.sherem...

This is a really important point. Private Hearings in the Senate are needed to find out how widely this is happening and why.

Three more factors to consider: 1. This group does not trust the established secure communications channels and deliberately selected Signal to avoid other in the US government following their discussion. This would suggest there has been a lot of use of Signal, not just this time.

Why are Republicans accusing people of being communists and at the same time supporting Trump being cozy with Putin?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025.... An absolute horror story. How many bad people do they actually catch?

A friend received notification her Social Security was cut by $600. There was no justification cited. She will contact her local US Congressperson. There is also the possibility it is a scam - lots of vulnerable folks will likely be scammed in this situation as well, such as to click a link.

So DEI is out, a bad thing. But Trump kills $400 million for Columbia University because Jewish students felt harrased? Wait, what?

Well said.

Clearly from the same design studio. The lower photo is of an object that is better engineered, in terms of being well-suited to its intended purpose and highly reliable.

Elissa Slotkin was stunningly good.

This is fundamental to seeing the big picture. We did not honor our commitment in 2014.

It was more than a treat for Putin. I believe the ambush was intended to also take our attention away from all the disastrous actions right here in the USA because of Musk and the onslaught of Project 2025 going full speed ahead.

Horrific. Trump is just a bully. This is not diplomacy, this should have been worked out in private, before the meeting. Terrible mis-reading of the strategic situation. Why was this set up this way? Did Trump want a chance to be "strong"? Or was this just another case of gross incompetence.

Seems as though Elon Musk is not as wise as an AI. We'll worth recognizing.

She sees the game. One response is for Democrats to not help Republicans fund the government unless (1) Musk & crew are blocked from all government access and (2) That funding is short term (3 month) renewed only if Trump is obeying Court orders. Use GOP divisions. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/o...

www.bbc.com/news/article.... This is likely a trial balloon to see if anyone important to Trump objects. We are on a very bad path.

Something is hitting the fan. This is nuts any way you look at it.

This appears to be JD Vance signaling what they plan to do

Good leadership.

Oh. Big, really big.....Oh. Doom level Oh.

The same guy who wants to move all the Palestinians out of Gaza.

So much, so fast, so stupid, so terrible..... and it is not done.

Things keep getting worse; fears about misuse of such information should be stronger than ever.

Call Senators and Representatives, especially about removing Musk completely from any access to government offices. They may try to avoid your call because you are not from their state or congressional district. Ignore that and leave voice mail. Do It! (more....

Noted. Will do.

Sadly, Andy Kim is right. But it is also very tricky to do correctly, so that the voting public comprehends that this is Congress struggling to regain control of the government from Musk and some terrible Trump appointees, rather than Democrats being spoil-sports.

Indeed.

This right at the heart of the matter. I suspect few in Congress comprehend the damage Musk is doing, let alone how it will be compounded as others take their cabinet positions and flounder around cutting and witch-hunting, firing as they go.

What a stupid way to spend that money.

If true, it adds more to the darkness descending on us.

This is a very important thread about Trump, Gaza, and Israel.

The Musk/Trump search and destroy process is causing enormous long-term damage through its utter incompetence. Using simplistic rules applied by people with little knowledge is disastrous.

Suggestion for getting out government back on track. Have a few Republicans in the Senate and the House admit the threat to our nation, and switch to being Democrats or at least Independents. We ask our troops to die for our country, is a change of party that much of an ask?

How can this be stopped?

The EU or individual nations must act to stop his lawless parade.

It keeps getting worse and worse. Enemies within.

"EYEING"!!!!! How about action. The actions across multiple fronts by Trump, Mush, and the GOP require far more than traditional, polite responses!

Why was it so easy for Musk et al to gain access? Are our government data and operations this vulnerable?

The challenge is to respond quickly. There need to be charges and detention, fast. This is a different form of terrorism, a treason from within.

Tragedy for some farmers.
