@fetterman.senate.gov Mr. Fetterman, do not lie about the President's not having violated a court order. That's simply not true. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Although Wall Street has bid up the price of GOLD to astronomical levels, they don't seem to understand that the American economy is in an EXCEPTIONAL CRISIS!!!

Here, Markey has the right idea. Even though a picture of W. Bush is on the NYTimes front page, the USA Patriot Act was a Republican blow to the Constitution and to democracy, and should be revoked. Secret courts, Guantanamo, Wars, anti-Muslim rules, all anti-democratic, anti-constitutional crap.

Not good, IMHO: In 2024, Medicare Part B spending on laboratory tests reached $8.4 billion, with genetic and molecular testing driving costs to over $3.6 billion, accounting for 43% of total lab expenditures. While overall lab spending increased 5% from 2023, genetic test spending rose 20%.

I hate the term "Minimum Viable Product", acronym MVP. It is usually an excuse for not doing what Joe Mancuso used to call 'The footwork necessary'. It's an MBA, Wall Street term that fails to capture the promise of a commercial idea. Instead, AFAIK, it's just for raising money.

Of course, Trump is an asshole bigot. But Obama continues to disappoint me with his invertebrate remarks. I went to high school with David Axelrod and recommended Francis Collins for NIH Director to Obama. But, where is your anger, Former President No Drama? @barackobama.bsky.social

When I was young, I argued politics with an insanely conservative gay guy whom I met growing up in Levittown, NY. His name was Arthur Finkelstein and he advised Reagan, Netanyahu, Orban, and of course. Trump. I am sure Roy Cohn was his friend. In the end, Arthur won, but his world is ashes.

The Republican stooges HATE the First Amendment to the US Constitution.

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”

When you dig deeper around mysteriously successful figures you generally find that rather than being incomprehensibly brilliant masters of the universe, they actually just lied a bunch and committed a bunch of crimes that no one wanted to look too hard at

When, if ever, will the 40% see that they are killing the golden goose?

I agree with @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that Clinton, Biden, and perhaps most of all, Merrick Garland, had all the dope on the Epstein files and not only failed to prosecute, but protected those in power by not investigating or supporting investigation. "They Knew" is an understatement!

Theil is either taking too many hallucinogens or has crossed over to schizophrenia. fortune.com/2026/02/04/p...

American democracy cannot sustain intentional lying instead of an informed public. Republicans are liars. That's what they do.

Michelle Cottle of the NYTimes said today that members of Congress have told her that they are fearful of personal harm, and harm to their families, should they cross Trump. This is the highest level of extortion and gangsterism imaginable.

I know I am overanticipating, but the Supreme Court Majority MUST be asked to resign, for violating the Constitution of the United States.

Without public education in America, as John Dewey pointed out, there will be no democracy. Americans with low general intelligence MUST be eligible for special education so that they can participate in our democracy. Americans who do not read regularly must develop this habit to participate. 1/2

Ian McKellen telling us what Shakespeare knew 400 years ago: www.facebook.com/reel/2035701...

An extortionist, sex offender, and unapologetic bigot. The Republican President is a gangster.

I strongly supported Obama, But I will always regret that his talk was more strident than his walk. His comments here are 100% accurate, IMHO.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

THE MAJORITY OF SUPREME COURT MEMBERS ARE PARTISAN BIGOTS AND COURTESANS WHO TAKE BRIBES AND VIOLATE THE US CONSTITUTION.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

TRUMP IS A RACIST.

Parents of very young children with genetic disabilities are vulnerable to scientists/profiteers saying they bring cures. Caring for a disable or dying child can be very expensive. It is simply not ethical to give false hope. Another place our capitalist healthcare system fails.

Trump supporters who are religious, careful followers of Jesus, like Senator Katie Britt, are unlikely to be idiots. But, they may be crooks.

I think the US Dollar is an unstable currency at this point. I see that my bank sells foreign currency. Even though I hate private equity, it is returning 15%+ which can keep up with inflation. And, I am going to start purchasing precious metals. Trump will bankrupt America. I will save myself.

You have to understand that the ultra-rich want to make science policy, arts policy, labor policy, economic policy, legal policy, and, of course, diplomatic policy. The ultra-rich do not believe in the common good, public education, or personal integrity or responsibility. They hate democracy.

It is very surprising that Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Theil, Brin, Huang, Ramswamy, Cook, Altman, Pichai, Ellison, and Icahn do not realize that their names will live in infamy alongside Trump's.

I am a lifelong Democrat, and I can't stand Pelosi, Jeffries, or Schumer. These cowardly Democrats have no backbone and will not protect the American public from ICE or Trump. New leadership is needed.

My article "Immigration is Not Invasion" now under submission to law reviews. Everything you ever wanted to know about invasion, but were afraid to ask! Also, it got coveted "highly recommended" rating from @lsolum.bsky.social at his Legal Theory blog: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Texas — Trump supporter fights kids Kids win www.instagram.com/reel/DUS-0sy...

By extension, I think all Republicans are awful human beings.

What a Quack! So, everybody's supposed to donate a year's wages to the government to cancel the National debt? His economic ignorance is truly shocking!

NYT in December: “Trump’s named rarely mentioned” NYT today: “5300 files containing 38,000+ references related to Trump” 😕🤔🤷🏼

The American legal profession is completely devoid of ethics.

Even minor courts in a democracy have an urgent obligation to publish their proceedings & decisions for public review. Court proceedings & determinations are publicly owned. Judiciary that "thinks" it is a private institution promotes authoritarianism, NOT democracy.

Every State that fails to make introduced legislation, laws, and executive orders available to the public for free violates the spirit of democracy. Rather than becoming a better democracy, secrecy, elitism, racism, and money hoarding have hastened the descent to barbarism and anarchy.

In a democracy, secrecy should be the exception, not the rule.

DOJ cannot intimidate Judge Boasberg by filing a fallacious action against him. Something has to give.

The Democratic National Committee has FAILED. It has NOT called out all the complicit LAWYERS and JUDGES. We need a new party: 'The Democracy Party', with a simple platform: Restore American democracy; obey the precepts in the Constitution, including all Amendments. That's all. No more bullshit.
