@actualrobreiner.bsky.social I know you’ve cancelled your X acct. I myself have stopped posting on there. Just watched you on CNN. Your voice is important. I’m shocked as well how far USA has fallen in this administration. He’s got yes men to follow his every command. Welcome to dystopia USA.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

Exactly this.

I’ve seen great leaders up close and terrible leaders up close. I’d follow Zelensky into fire, and I wouldn’t piss on fire to put Trump out. This isn’t the America I fought and killed for, nor what my friends died for. Absolute cowardice from the President in front of the world.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Donald just lost any respect our actual allies had for him.

Trump doesn’t want peace for Ukraine, he wants surrender. That’s the only messaging you need.

Leaders of nations across the globe like, respect, and get along with Zelensky. He has not had meetings with any of them that were anything other than cordial and respectful from both sides. Only one was hostile, disrespectful, obnoxious, nasty, and vicious - Donald Trump.

What Trump/Vance did today by attacking Zelensky using Putin's talking points would be like in 1940 FDR openly mocking Winston Churchill using Hitler's talking points as the Nazis bombed London. This was TREASONOUS!

I’m so fucking mad. And so fucking ashamed.

Trump said it out loud. It was for TV. Mainly for an audience of one, but also in an effort to look tough and strong. His deep, deep insecurity—something he and Vance share—demands moments like these where he tries to look like a strongman.

Some have disappointed, some have bad policy, some made big mistakes. But I’ve never in my life been ashamed of American leaders. Until today.

Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

FYI🙌

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Republicans surely know their leader is taking out democracy. Do they feel any shame at all?

Congratulations America, He spent $15 million of YOUR money to take a nap at the Super Bowl and leave before halftime… All, on your dime.

Read if you can the back story of dr suess.

WERE THESE HACKERS AROUND when VOTES were counted?

Sen. Warner on DOGE's "buyout" offers: "Every scam artist is the same. 'Take this offer right now, it expires at midnight!' How many times do we see that?"

People in Paris, France stand in solidarity with Ukraine. The true measure of democracy is weighed in principles that transcend borders.

Doctors for America, a nonprofit membership organization, is suing the Trump administration over the sudden removal of public health data from government websites, arguing it creates a “dangerous gap” in information available to track disease and diagnose patients, per Bloomberg.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Once the cyberbarons fully occupy and effectively seize control of the Treasury and other key government agencies, it won’t be long before they relegate Trump to a rubber-walled romper room, wheeling him out for occasional bursts of what passes for charisma to humor him with the illusion of power.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

youtu.be/-g4UWvcZn5U?... My Pollyanna moment..

Anderson Cooper is humanizing this tragic plane crash. He’s taking time to describe the talents of victims and their love of ice skating. Thank you Anderson for giving pause to the circus and highlighting what brings out the empathy in all of us.

Watching this on repeat how is your day going?

Governor JB Pritzker signs order banning January 6 convicts from State Government Employment.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Makes me nauseous, seeing this posted from the Department of Defense account. This dude unqualified and ill-intentioned and can bring great harm to the Armed Forces and the United States.
