Why is everything so dumb

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:

"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."

Mic drop!

Pritzker: Trump tariffs will hurt Illinois manufacturers, farmers and consumers Tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump will hit home in Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker warned Tuesday. “Trump’s tax on working families will have a devastating impact on Illinois’ manufacturing ...

Donald Trump promised to lower prices on Day One.

Instead, his administration is telling us to raise our own chickens and embarrassing our nation on the world stage.

All while hardworking Illinoisans suffer at the checkout or the pump.

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies.

I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

Great resource from Just Security on the demolition of DOJ norms.

Late tonight, I will deliver a response to President Trump's Congressional Address.

NO to Oligarchy. NO to Authoritarianism. YES to Democracy and an economy that works for all.

I hope you'll join us.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

Those who voted for Donald Trump didn't know that they would lose their health care.

He promised time and time again he wouldn't touch Medicaid — now he's blessed the House Republicans' plan to take it all away.

He lies over and over again. It's time we wake up.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

US Senator Roger Wicker, head of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, commented on the talks with Putin:

"No, Putin cannot be trusted. Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed."

Day One was a month ago.

February 18, 2025 In a court filing last night, the Director of the Office of Administration in the Trump administration, Joshua Fisher, clarified the government position of billionaire Elon Musk.

It’s not just about the economy. It’s also about the data, especially the personal data. Dr. @hcrichardson.bsky.social does a great job explaining the troubling access DOGE has to all kinds of personal data as they rampage through the government. People need to be arrested!

ICE Prosecutor in Dallas Runs White Supremacist X Account The Observer has identified the operator of “GlomarResponder,” an overtly racist social media account, as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

A team of engineers who work for Musk’s SpaceX will visit the Federal Aviation Administration’s air traffic control system command center in Virginia as the Trump administration considers an overhaul of the agency, which was previously seen as exempt from government cuts.

More than 300 FAA employees have been dismissed.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction.

These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons.

NARA should never have been placed under the Executive Branch and given its work for the Electoral College. It’s all going to be gone before anyone pays attention. The damage is done and people just sit back.

NIH funding cuts could jeopardize 'life-saving' research in Alabama A federal judge temporarily blocked the changes in 22 states Monday after the states sued the Trump Administration over the funding cuts arguing they would be “devastating.” Alabama is not part of tha...

THREAD: Trump's intentionally flooding the news cycle w/ a stream of outrage porn to distract, scare, & confuse. These are the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:

NIH funding cuts jeopardize ‘life-saving’ research in AL

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

1/ Tonight, the Trump admin announced it is suing New York and state officials over New York immigration law, like our Green Light Law.

This is yet another attempt by Trump to weaponize the DOJ to intimidate those he disagrees with.

Trump, July 2024: We will drive prices down very fast.

Trump, August 2024: I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.

Trump, December 2024: I won an election based on that, we’re going to bring those prices way down.

Have prices gone down? Nope.

Trump and His Family Earned Millions From Trump Coin While 810,000 Others Lost Money: Report Donald Trump and early investors have earned millions from $TRUMP coin while 813,294 wallets have registered $2 billion in collective losses.

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees.

Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry.

Hello?

If the Trump White House Spokesbot tells you there's not constitutional crisis...there's a constitutional crisis.
