YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS (Apple+): Deliriously nasty. It's like a John D. MacDonald novel from 1962 with a lot more sex and no good guy. Enjoyable.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
I wonder how many lies it will take before the press stops giving official statements by Trump and his cronies the presumption of truth. Days of stories spreading their lies around before the real story emerges. This happens over and over and over again:
On the topic of presidential mental acuity, the current president was awake at 1:30am rage tweeting about his former opponents’ crowd sizes and calling Beyoncé, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen ‘unpatriotic entertainers.’ Where is the news cycle about his fitness for office?
This hits hard…
“Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.”
You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.
Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.
Angelo Carusone Media Matters @goangelo.bsky.social just said on MSNBC Nicole Wallace that one of the elements of Project 2025 is a plan to kill all the wild horses in the USA. I had to go look this up and this is what I found. They plan a horrific future for wild horses and burros. Call Congress.
Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics
This vote is a disgrace.
Trump’s senseless betrayal of the alliances that have kept Americans safe since World War II and his fealty to the murderous aggressor Putin are a national security threat.
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
Nearly all the career officials who attended the Justice Department’s daily session for years — including during the first Trump administration — have been removed from their positions, gutting much of the expertise usually there to brief the attorney general, FBI director and top deputies.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
Last week @allinwithchris.bsky.social cited @propublica.org and @documented.net's reporting that revealed Russ Vought promised donors in a private speech to put civil servants "in trauma," a plan that's clearly already underway.
JFK on why he founded USAID.
“The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.
(2/2) There is no way Trump is involved in any detailed way with all the EOs he is issuing. There's another tell, too: the fixation with DEI, which doesn't involve personal retribution (which he does care about) and which voters don't care about.
Project 2025 is running a lot of the government.
The law and order guy is about to pardon the people who did this to me: please watch and share everywhere you can.

Call log showing multiple calls from the dept of justice
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.
um
Those of us who couldn’t feel our toes until Valentine’s Day after the jam-packed, joyous inauguration of President Obama, suspect this move indoors may be driven more by the prediction of a relatively thin crowd, rather than the cold.

Yikes!!!😬🥴
Pass it on please.
Most large galaxies have at their center a cluster of black holes, with a supermassive black hole (SBH) at the cluster’s core. The Milky Way’s SBH is called Sagittarius A*. At noon on Monday, our nation’s capital will have at its core a cluster of moral black holes that we should call Cluster B*.
