This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

WARREN: If 700,000 Americans lose their jobs because of these tariffs, will the Trump administration suspend these tariffs?

GREER: That's not going to happen

WARREN: I take that as a no

I have no idea why I’d ever vote for Democrats again if they’re just going to enact Trump’s agenda.

At Tuesday’s speech Trump declared that he was saving the US auto industry. But between his tariffs and threats to repeal EV tax credits, US auto stocks have gone down, not up.

Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to celebrate."

The idea that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov would sit and give an audience and legitimacy to fascism is appalling. Dem leadership are sitting on their hands while America is dismantled and younger reps are screaming for action on behalf of The People.

Trump posts a fake Time magazine cover with a crown on his head and a headline calling himself a king, while falsely attacking President Zelensky—who is courageously fighting for his country’s survival—as a dictator. This is sick and disgusting rejection of basic human values.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

UPDATE: It’s 6:30 pm ET on Monday, February 17 and DOGE has updated the “Savings” page on its site.

The site’s “Wall of Receipts” includes a “subset” of contract and lease cancellations.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.

The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.
Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.
