Gabbard testifies that she can't remember what country in the Asia-Pacific region she was in when the Signal group chat about Yemen strikes was happening

Are other billionaires deeply invested in China getting this briefing too? Will China be represented at the briefing or will Musk give them a read-out afterwards?

Welcome to tRump's America, where even citizens can be seized without a trial. First, it was immigrants; now, legal residents, tourists, and citizens face the same threat. Are you finally paying attention to this alarming trend? bit.ly/3FFY8Kk

Important.

⚡️ RFE/RL sues Trump administration over funding cuts. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) sued the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) on March 18 over the termination of grant funding, calling the action unconstitutional.

Escalating warnings of a potential Russian attack on NATO have raised fears in the Baltic states that they could be next in the crosshairs. Talk about a potential Russian invasion is "very common at parties, gatherings, lunch breaks, water cooler talk," one Vilnius resident says.

The first pride wasn't legal either, it was a riot.

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

Nearly 40% of the federal contracts that President Donald Trump’s administration claims to have canceled as part of its signature cost-cutting program aren’t expected to save the government any money, the administration’s own data shows.

This seems bad

kremlin spox dmitry peskov saying the kremlin “welcomes” trump administration’s “much more balanced position” at the united nations after yesterday opposing resolution condemning russia’s invasion

We dare Mike Johnson to give that answer at a town hall in front of his constituents

The Trump Administration just can't stop hiring incompetent loyalist podcasters to vital government roles-- and Republican Senators have enabled it. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social full clip here:

The EU has adopted its 16th package of sanctions against Russia. It includes cutting off 13 Russian banks from SWIFT, banning the broadcasting of eight Russian media outlets, and sanctioning 74 shadow fleet tankers transporting Russian oil.

USAID informed employees via email that it is terminating 2,000 workers and placing thousands of foreign service officers and other direct hires worldwide on paid leave, effective tonight.

Merz was a real transatlanticist, on the very pro-American end of the German political spectrum

He made Bongino Deputy FBI Director. We're so screwed.

All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.

We’re all tired of hearing about Elon Musk—his attempts to intimidate federal agencies, bolster authoritarian movements & more. But UCS’s @karenstillerman.bsky.social highlights overlooked parts of his story, like the improper firing of the USDA inspector general investigating a Musk-owned company.

⚡️UN adopts Ukraine's resolution condemning Russia's invasion — US, Russia, Belarus vote against. The UN General Assembly approved a Ukrainian resolution condemning Russia's full-scale invasion, with 93 countries voting in favor. The U.S., Israel, Hungary, Russia, and Belarus have voted against it.

Question of the day: What do these countries have in common? -- Belarus; Burkina Faso; Burundi; Central African Republic; North Korea; Equatorial Guinea; Eritrea; Haiti; Hungary; Israel; Mali; Marshall Islands; Nicaragua; Niger; Palau; Russia; Sudan and The United States of America.

Do Americans want to be aligned with Russia against all of our traditional allies in Europe and Asia? I don't think so

Trump REFUSED to call Putin a dictator. Journalist: You called Zelensky a dictator. Would you use the same words for Putin? Trump: I don’t use those words lightly.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender. Because something something working class champions.

The only war that Putin is winning is inside Trump’s head. Putin only wins the war on the ground by setting American policy, through Trump. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Such hostile nonsense from Americans in power just now. I wish we would listen to people who have suffered for reporting the truth, like Stanislav Aseyev, combat veteran and survivor of a Russian torture camp.

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily kept on the job the head of the federal agency that protects government whistleblowers, in its first word on the many legal fights over President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

With over ten years of service spanning five administrations, Amy Paris was dismissed on February 14, a casualty of tRump’s mass firings. “They said it was performance,” she explained. “I have clear proof I was one of the top performers in the entire federal government.” 19thnews.org/2025/02/amy-...
