This is my kind of good trouble.

One of the MAGA’s quoted here has figured it out: “Is the entire DOJ obsessed with media hits?” Yes, buddy, they are! The Twitter Addict Running Our Govt’s Civil Rights Arm open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Larry Summers told Bloomberg Trump's cuts to the IRS could cost the government $1 trillion. A Yale economist told BI that's a conservative estimate.

Help me out here—is the Cybertruck a reincarnated Edsel or is it a Pinto?

Harvard comes out slugging, with a strong complaint v Admin in district court in MA. plus over 100 university presidents push back on Admin. Is this the united fromt the law firms couldn't achieve? Looking forward to discussing w/ @nicollewallace.bsky.social on #DeadlineWhiteHouse at 5:30 PM ET.

I hope @maddow.msnbc.com @stephruhle.bsky.social or @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com will have numbers for us about how Trump’s billionaire pals made out in the market today on the double twisty Trump double reverse tariff flip flop.

We had it so good…

👇👇

In four months time, Trump has made the US a global laughingstock: mocked by all, reviled by many, trusted by none. He has the Reverse Midas Touch, a talent for turning gold into shit.

Ironic isn’t it? Trump is in the White House because he became a public figure on a tv show where he was famous for firing people. And yet now, when he needs to fire people—Hegseth and Walz—he won’t have the balls to do it.

Determined to destroy it without an iota of understanding of the program—he thinks it’s a Ponzi scheme, FFS…

Shocking. Elon lied when he told us the Muskrats weren’t gonna be paid?He’s prolly got X on the payroll too, seeing as he drags that kid along everywhere.

Okay somehow it's Friday and somehow we made it (congrats!) 🤯 To make the doomscroll easier, here's a thread of all the wild stuff we learned this week, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social's analysis on why DOGE *is* the deep state (and Elon Musk's extended universe.)

It’s becoming clear that FOTUS picked Rubio for his cabinet just for the pleasure it gives him to humiliate Marco on the regular—Republicans quiet as DOGE slashes GOP-backed pro-democracy group

His pettiness knows no limits…

Every Republican member of Congress should be asked single every day whether they speak directly with Putin or whether their instructions and talking points are filtered through Trump.

Trump is continuing to look like a fumbling fool domestically and on the world stage. ONCE AGAIN, he is backtracking on his tariffs. This time on all tariffs. Yesterday was automotive. Weeks ago he did the same thing. This on top of calling thousands back to work after firing them.

Large majorities in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and UK think Donald Trump is a threat to peace and security in Europe, a survey has found.

And now a word from one of Trump’s sponsors:

While George W. Bush was president, the Coast Guard signed a contract to get admin help from a company in Virginia. It paid $144,000, and the contract was completed by June 30, 2005. Last week, Elon Musk's DOGE claimed it had just canceled the long-dead contract. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

and there it is

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

"None of us should let Congress off the hook. The key constitutional crisis here is if Congress does not do its job of standing up to abuse of power." — @mawaldman.bsky.social on @ayman.msnbc.com

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Ike asking Churchill why he doesn’t wear a suit before not suggesting that they cower to a maniac.

As Eric Edelman observes (at min 9), all Trump's stooges - including purported Ukraine supporter Graham - are "objectively pro-Putin."

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

Make this happen ⬇️

“My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV.​" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

„When did Trump ask the American people if we wanted to join Putin's side?“ Michael McFaul

To add insult to insult. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

Rarely has so much ignorance & ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know JD Vance & Donald Trump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, & destroying the security of America & her allies, but they'd do well to spend some time actually studying history.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

@maddow.msnbc.com Can anyone share the complete list of all the goodies Trump has given Putin this past month that Rachel cited on tonight’s show? Things like the Foreign Agents Registration Act, etc.

Why else include Russian state media among the press in the room?

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I’m so fucking mad. And so fucking ashamed.

It’s so hard to connect the dots though.

Lies, Cuts, Closures: Trump and Musk Ravage Social Security Administration First, the Trump administration closed field offices, then they fired online help workers. How will Americans access their benefits?

There is a very good chance that next year tens of thousands of people will be dead because of an ideological opposition by the Trump administration to doing the basics of governing
