Because no one wants to invest in anything when they're terrified of the next great depression.

Marine or bovine? I've been thinking about trying marine. I can't bring myself to cross the line into mammals. But if you're doing marine and it tastes like animal... maybe I won't.

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

Behind the scenes of Trump and DOGE’s chaotic effort to release billions of gallons of California’s water | CNN President Trump falsely claimed the LA fires were a result of the state’s water policies. DOGE agents flew to California to turn pumps on themselves.

SHEER INCOMPETENCE: “The White House initially directed the Army Corps to release more than 5.6 billion gallons of water, which could have flooded downstream communities and endangered lives and properties…the federal dams and water canals chosen by White House officials don’t flow to Los Angeles.”

To every American tuning in to Trump’s address tonight, do two things before you watch:

Check your 401k.

Check your last grocery bill, and add 25%.

No matter what the President says tonight, that’s the reality of what he’s doing to your family finances.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Pure fascism: the put down of the freedom of assembly.

The United States is no longer the leader of the free world.

Let that sink in.

Y’all, Doug Jones is with us on BlueSky and he has some advice for Democrats in DC.

Watch and give him a follow.

“Go to where people are. Have testimony from folks being affected by these cuts …all politics is personal and how it affects individual people.” @dougjones.bsky.social

YouTube video by MSNBC Fired federal workers speak on the importance of their former roles

Personal stories of just how important fired federal workers' jobs were.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Now is the time to stand even more strongly with Ukraine — support the Ukrainian people in their brave fight for freedom! 🇺🇦

A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today.

And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.

Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

Trump threatened to sue journalists, authors, and book publishers who use anonymous sources. Granting certain sources anonymity is a common journalistic practice, especially when sources fear retribution.

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks.

Just sayin'.

Brutal Town hall.

But here’s the truth—Republican politicians aren’t scared of their constituents. They’re scared of Trump and getting primaried. And voters keep electing more extreme candidates, so here we are—officials who don’t care what their constituents think.

Republican voters did this!

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights.

Or providing security for money.

It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies.

Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

When CA or any state struggles to respond to devastating wildfires this year:

It won't be because "the spigots" are closed.

There are no such spigots.

But it just may be that when we needed help the most – firefighters' jobs got cut to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it.

This is the way…

Delete it and buy another book you want?

A critical point.

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say:

The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

RFK Jr. is already taking aim at antidepressants The new HHS secretary has made baseless claims that the drugs are addictive and cause violent behavior.

The government, RJK Jr. said, would “assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, [and] mood stabilizers.”

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.
