Trump skipping the dignified transfer of 4 American soldiers who died in Lithuania, so he can attend a Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida, is yet another reason why he is an absolute repulsive excuse for a POTUS.

Trump always said that he could create the biggest crowds. This time he wasn’t lying #HandsOff

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

Let’s see all those House Republicans in swing districts vote for those huge Medicaid cuts now to pair up with tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, on top of Trump throwing down his tariffs tomorrow. Good luck herding those cats, Mike Johnson.

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

We had Russia on the ropes. They were crippled by sanctions. They had made minimal headway into Ukraine. Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks. He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea. Then he played his ace in the hole. Donald Motherfucking Trump.

Every world leader should be treating Trump as a malign foreign actor. Because he is.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

We are Americans, dammit! Most of our ancestors struggled to either get here and/or stay here! Overcoming bullshit is in our blood! We can NOT let these silver spooned rich bitches get the best of us!

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

America, This is our Germany 1933 moment. Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond. This is beyond party, beyond country. This is about our collective humanity. #Ukraine

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become. I was wrong.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Maddow tries to shake Jeffries into meeting the moment: "Policy doesn't feel like the main convo…we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled autocratic power grab rendering Congress irrelevant, making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke”: Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGe93bq...

📌If Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer were coaches for some sports team, they would have been fired by now… This has to be the meekest, non-response to a daily ass-kicking I have ever seen.

DOGE savings (WSJ): $2.6b TSLA subsidies (10 years): $15b Annual increase in deficit: $900b Cuts to Medicare: $880b

Elon Musk’s cost-cutting bonanza appears to be having less impact than the world’s richest man is claiming, with a review finding that almost 40% of the federal contracts scrapped so far will save the American taxpayer not a penny apple.news/AjkwkPkbHT5y...

Once again they screw veterans first. — Veteran-owned small firms hit first by VA's push for $2B in contract cuts. Service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs bear 89% of the claimed savings. Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins claims this is just step one. washingtontechnology.com/contracts/20...

A lot of folks have asked me what they can do to fight back. One way is to support candidates in special elections like this one in New York.

No one is safe in Donald Trump’s America. And now, America is all alone on the global stage. An international pariah.

Starting tomorrow, get vaccinated. Everything you can. The CDC took down their list. Use this. www.immunize.org/vaccines/vis...

🚨 CANADIAN HOCKEY FANS BOO DURING U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM AT OTTAWA SENATORS GAME

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

Good people feel it. They know we're not well because of this illness that has invaded. And it is the good people who need to be loud right now. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/defeating-...

Senator Tim Kaine voting to confirm Kristi Noem as the Secretary of Homeland Security is inexplicable to me. Hey Senator, what gives? @kaine.senate.gov!

Never forget that first and foremost, Trump is a criminal enterprise that uses fake culture war outrage and bogus religiosity as a smoke screen as they raid the public coffers, run scams, and privatize/auction our infrastructure to their corporate buddies.

If this shit ain't breaking you, you were never fixed. Anyone who has a drop of compassion for anyone other than themselves should be feeling this. Anyone.

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA’S STATEMENT ON ICE RAID ON NEWARK BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT

First Republican to oppose a Trump cabinet nominee. meidasnews.com/news/lisa-mu...

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

@repmarcykaptur.bsky.social, @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social, & @gluesenkampperez.house.gov, what say you? You owe your voters an explanation.
