There were clearly more people involved in setting up Trump’s birthday celebration than in attendance.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Let’s put some pressure & attention on this situation. Contact the Oklahoma Governor and demand an immediate response. Office of Governor J. Kevin Stitt 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Suite 212 Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Phone 405.521.2342

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

LET’S. DO. THIS. 😎✨

Trump just signed an executive memorandum aimed at investigating ActBlue, the leading Democratic fundraising platform. The memo directs the AG to look into alleged foreign contributions made on the platform to U.S. elections. There is no evidence to suggest this is happening.

ICYMI: @harvard.edu today filed a 51-page lawsuit against the Trump Administration, Pam Bondi, RFK Jr., and several other defendants for their unconstitutional and unlawful federal funding freeze. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

••••MEASLES UPDATE•••• The measles crisis in the U.S. continues to grow. Infections have now resulted in 800 cases across 24 states. 88 new cases have been confirmed in just the last week. These numbers do not reflect a plateau. In fact, experts warn these numbers are a severe…

…

Let’s keep saying it: IMPEACH… CONVICT… REMOVE.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

Serious question: Why would ANY graduating law student go work at Paul Weiss? If they capitulate to Trump on something like this what else would they do?

Massive anti-US invasion protest in Nuuk, Greenland outside the US consulate. "99% say no Trump" "no means no" ( 📹@OJoelsen ) #3E #EndImpunity #GreenlandProtests

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Many thanks to #TheWildRobot team for inviting me to attend #TheOscars & to the Academy for asking me to be a part of the ceremony. I will be presenting the award for Original Score with no wardrobe malfunctions whatsoever.🤞

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

This absolutely broke me. #SlavaUkraine🇺🇦 🧵(1/3)

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

Here is another amazing protest - by the US Army Choir. I hope it is shared far and wide. I’ll bet many of the people applauding are clueless about the meaning behind this song, aka the French Revolution. youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI?...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I specialize in representing Democratic campaigns because I believe in the party. I litigate voting rights cases because the right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. I speak out about free and fair elections because they are under threat. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Wow! What a hero! 💙

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

Sorry, Mexico and Canada, we elected a dimwitted shitheel
