Jack Smith has Jeffrey Clark/Scott Perry texts admitting there was NO foreign election interference in 2020 per a briefing from DNI Ratcliffe January 2nd, 2021 per Volume I of his final report. DNI Gabbard is going to try to create foreign interference where DNI Ratcliffe failed. @raskin.house.gov

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

When ICE shoves protestors they are committing crimes. When ICE breaks down car windows they are committing crimes. When ICE grabs observers out of their cars or tackles them to the ground they are committing crimes. The lawlessness is not how any other “law enforcement” agency in the US works.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Trump is laying the groundwork to come after your Social Security if he shuts the government down

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email [email protected] and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

Charlie Kirk's assassination is heinous and frightening and warrants widespread condemnation. But it should not protect him or others who engage in such politics of extremism from critical review.

We have learned that one of the women taken on Alvarado and 8th is Sabrina Medina, a pregnant U.S. Citizen expecting twins from Huntington Park, whom Kristi Noem targeted and was present last month for a photo op.

If you’re sitting at home stewing, you’re not part of the 3.5%. Do Something.👇

Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin’s most trusted financial operator and messenger, has quietly arrived in Washington. Not in disgrace. But with a special temporary sanctions waiver, personally approved by Trump, so he could waltz into the White House under the guise of "ceasefire talks." My latest

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

I can’t compete with this

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Yet again the Vice President of the United States JD Vance is blatantly lying. The man is not a “convicted gang member” — he is a father of a disabled child married to a 🇺🇸 citizen, with no criminal record. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"I rise with the intention of getting in some good trouble, I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able." -@SenBooker, during his multiple-hour stand on the Senate floor. #demsabroad #resist #DemsUnited

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

DOGE/Musk preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris in 2024. Among cancellations with election data available, 92.9% and 86.1% cancelled grants and contracts went to Harris counties, representing 96.6% and 92.4% of total dollar amounts.

The media treats Trump like his is a villain of the week on Gilligan’s Island. Someone to go “oh that guy!” With a laugh track. And then next week everything goes back to status quo. They seem to be in complete denial that he is completely destroying the country.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Democratic Senator Wyden’s and Representative Bynum’s town hall audience in Albany, Oregon, a town located in very red county.

If you followed Robert Scott Horton on FB, he has been ZUCKERED there — possibly for posting about the new book "Careless People," which FB has tried to ban. You can follow him HERE NOW!

SERIOUS QUESTION: what's the best tag or hashtag (depending on the platform) for discussing American OLIGARCHS and their take-over of democracy?

Hey, @ifbookspod.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social Please consider profiling “Stuck” on your podcast. It looks like single-threaded pablum. We need your gusto and scholarship on this one! www.npr.org/2025/02/17/n...

Next step is to prosecute criminal defense lawyers.

The defeatist attitude of @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is alarming. CALL YOUR REPS. They need to stop DOGE criminals from stealing MORE $$ from social security, ACA & vets. Backdoors & effed up code they're adding to gov't IT systems will take BILLION$ & years to fix. Read ENTIRE thread below.

Collins: He said that Canada is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, where they talk about reinforcing the border. I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

UNDER HIS EYE.

To review, the FAA administrator was forced out because of a business vendetta of Elon Musk’s, Trump froze the hiring of new ATCs despite staff shortages, Musk launched an underhanded attempt to hollow out the whole federal workforce, and then the first US airliner crashed in 16 years.

If anyone knows how to get rid of the horrid MS #CoPilot on 365 for Mac, please share! Every "fix" I researched has been useless.

Exactly. Everyone is running around to counter the impact of the dumbest, greediest criminal that has ever been at the top of our government. 🤬

On point.

SCOTUS has now been proven completely and unequivocally wrong. Those that said the states would still hold him accountable were wrong. The SCOTUS ruling did in fact make trump completely immune to criminal accountability at any level. We have a criminal president that is completely unaccountable.

If we weren't at such a weird moment in history, the collapse of Assad's regime would be widely understood as a huge success for the Biden administration, which pursued sanctions on Russia and Iran as well as Syria, armed Ukraine and thus weakened Russia, and supported Syrian democrats and activists

WORD SALAD deflection from #UHC! New CEO blames lack of coverage on company's "patchwork" of processes, as if that's someone else's fault. Nobody designed it! It just happened. No idea how it got that way, so don't hold us to account! 🤮 #UnitedHealth www.cnbc.com/2024/12/13/u...

Bam!

I wonder if @gtconway.bsky.social would spring for a DC-area billboard with Elon and Hegseth and their mommies, with caption, "Why does Trump want Mommy's Boys in charge of America's fighting machine?"

BREAKING: Trump's wealthy cabinet nominees and transition officials are worth a combined $313 BILLION. That's 616x higher than the mean wealth of the typical American household. This is how you build a system that only works for the wealthy and their corporations.

On point. 😖

I'll add that what made Twitter truly great in the early days was that it was easy for 3rd-party devs to create useful tools via the API. Twit founders screwed devs in June '12 by limiting API access & ruining those great tools. I hope @bsky.app founders learned from that & won't do the same.

Do it! I'm sure Dem senators know better than to vote for this sexual assaulting, white-supremacy-tattoo-wearing loud-mouth, but if you live in a red state, tell your senators ASAP that we need a qualified, non-racist, non-sexist leader for the military. I know. The bar is SOOOO LOW at this point.

Russia is DESPERATE if they converted nuclear ballistic missiles into high explosive and launched them at Conventional targets. This shows they are literally at their wits end to make any significant impact … also to sucker western Anti-nukes into pressuring the west. It won’t work.

You gotta see this video. 😳 Incoming wackadoodle thinks pandemics aren't real. Many Americans will be harmed (or dead) if he is named Health Sec. Just like DumpyPants dismissed the last pandemic as nothing (It'll be over by April! Drink bleach! 🤪).

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
