#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “You know, you live long enough, you realize that there are some days, there are some times, when the bill comes due. You know, you’ve done things in the past, perhaps ill advised, things you kinda knew at the time weren’t a good idea, and sometimes you are able to skate by for a little while, you get away with that stuff for a little while, but eventually you learn in this life, that the bill comes due. We’re having one of those times in the news right now. So for example, when we as a country elected this president, he decided in his infinite wisdom, that he would immediately allow his top campaign donor @elonmusk, to cut whole swaths of US government capacity based on nothing but Elon Musk’s own say so, and his gut feelings. So things that took decades if not generations to build up, some of these things the gold standard government capacity for the whole world, President Donald Trump just said hey, you’re my top campaign donor, as far as I’m concerned, that gives you the right to sledgehammer the US government to your heart’s content. I don’t care, you enjoy yourself. And that is how thousands of subject matter experts, and forest rangers and specialist lawyers, and prosecutors, and scientists, and and and, it’s how all these people lost their jobs and their careers in the US government. But it’s also how we as a country lost things like say a project that had been funded, that was shovel ready, expertly planned, much needed, ready to go, a project to build FIRE BREAKS in the Superior National Forest in Minnesota. Elon Musk and Donald Trump did not care enough or were not bright enough to understand what a project like that might conceivably be for, and so they [killed] it…Trump in his wisdom literally stopped funding last year for the shovel ready project to build fire breaks in the Superior National Forest in Minnesota, so there would be less to burn, so it would be EASIER to fight any fire that did break out…He and Elon Musk stopped the funding of that project and so now, the bill has come due. The Superior National Forest in Minnesota, as we speak, is on fire. Thank you DOGE. Thank you Donald Trump…”🙄🤦‍♀️

@ronsterd89 A product called Vamoose. Wood shavings scented with peppermint oil. Mice hate the smell. Not sure if it would work in a barn, but it does in my kitchen.

Joy Reid: “You’ve been spending a decade insisting Elon Musk is genius. When you hear him talk you realize he’s actually an idiot. You keep telling them, ‘But he invented Tesla,’ when he didn’t, he just bought it. Two other white dudes invented Tesla, they’re geniuses. Elon just bought it and now people think he’s a genius. No, he’s not”

🔥 @jamestalarico: “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Our president took away funds from Americans just because they live in a state that voted against him? That violates his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

@Retrievals1 James Carville is from the Clinton years. That’s 30 years ago! Why would Beshear hire a relic as a campaign manager?!

Wow! During Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing, Jeffrey Epstein survivor Dani Bensky just seemingly accused Todd Blanche and the Trump administration of intentionally releasing her personal information!

"I'm a teacher. In my school, if a student released a nude photo depicting a peer's sexual assault and abuse, they would almost certainly face expulsion. And yet, this is what our Department of Justice did to crime victims.

"Today, Todd Blanche has been at the helm of the release of nude images of survivors, the outing of Jane Does, and the exposure of more than 100 victims' identifying information and documents describing horrific acts of abuse, including my own.

"Instead of treating this release as its own violation and holding the man who led it accountable, you have a decision on whether you place him in the highest law enforcement position in this country.

"In December, before the document release, our attorneys submitted 350 victims' names to the Department of Justice as victims' names to be redacted prior to the release. In that first release, I found my name in two places.

"In that next release in January, my name appeared again. But this time, the redactions were so far worse. The files displayed not only my name, but my phone number, my former addresses, where I worked, and other identifying information.

"When my name appeared in the third file release, it became difficult to believe that this was not intentional."
