it's amusing to me to see Trumpers banging on about Bondi orchestrating an Epstein coverup while refusing to devote an extra thought to who she would be trying to protect

QUID PRO QUO: Eric Adams Cut a Deal with Trump—And NYC Lost YouTube video by Eliza Orlins

QUID PRO QUO: Eric Adams sold out NYC to save himself. The DOJ is dropping his corruption case after he cozied up to Trump. This is blatant quid pro quo, and we should all be furious. Stay loud. Stay angry. We won’t forget.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Weekend (Monday) Video USAID, an important soft power benefit.

USAID isn’t just foreign aid—it’s a powerful tool for America’s security, influence, and values. Cutting it weakens us while empowering our adversaries. I’ve seen its impact firsthand. Watch my video and share with those who care about America’s future. 🇺🇸👇

Rep. Jamie Raskin to workers at the CFPB:

"If you were saving billions of dollars right now for the plutocrats, and the autocrats, and the theocrats, the dictators, and the bullies, and the rip-off artists, they'd be putting you on the board of the Kennedy Center tonight."

Spot on!

Another glowing review for Kash Patel 🙄

Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’ Some users are angry that some events have been removed.

Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app.

This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.”

Two side-by-side images compare Kristi Noem's appearance in 2019 and 2025. The 2019 image shows her with natural makeup and a short, layered hairstyle. The 2025 image depicts her with darker, longer hair, heavier makeup, and a more sculpted facial appearance. The tweet above the images asks, "What has happened to Kristi Noem's face? 😳" and the post is captioned "Gender affirming care."

Just gonna leave this here.

I also don’t understand why dems (or anyone?!) aren’t calling out DOGE post-for-post on EVERY SINGLE ONE of their claims. They’re smoke-screening us into believing they’re saving $. We need to inform the voters as to WHY WHAT and HOW their lies are lies, in laymen’s terms! WHY IS NO ONE DOING THIS!?

A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

Hey Wisconsin!! Y’all got work to do and I'm so excited to help. There's a State Supreme Court Election April 4th! I'm on the ground talking to voters and any news outlet that will listen! It's a never ending phrase… “Democracy is on the ballot”

Minnesota is still a state where we can work across lines of difference to get things done.

There’s no better way to kick that work off than with some bipartisan bars for our friends in the legislature.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Trump administration targets Education Department research arm in latest cuts The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is responsible for gathering data on a wide range of topics, including research-backed teaching practices and the state of U.S. student achievement.

Parents & teachers need to know what's working for students. We learn so much of that through IES’s independent, high quality research & data.

But now a billionaire is shutting down this research and keeping parents in the dark—that's WRONG, and it's bad for students. www.npr.org/2025/02/10/n...

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis.

And this is what the White House is focused on.

Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people.

Well done.

Monday thought:

Great point.
