This is some sick shit

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

A preliminary budget draft leaked to the Washington Post outlines plans by the Trump administration to cut: - the NIH budget by 40% - the CDC budget by 44% - the HHS budget by 33% This will not make America healthy. It will make Americans sicker and more vulnerable to disease outbreaks.

▪️Will Ukraine become a member of NATO? Rutte: "Yes, absolutely. This was the result of the Washington Summit: Ukraine's path to NATO is irreversible. And nothing has changed."

my wife lost her great job at a major Seattle nonprofit hospital three weeks ago because Trump simply stopped Medicaid reimbursements starting in the new year throwing them into financial chaos and this is before we get to new Medicaid cuts or axing grants

As always with maga, their accusations of illegal behavior by the so-called Biden crime family is both projection and confession.

Live long enough and the so-called Arc towards Justice seems to be for another time. We are currently existing in a country that is ruled by an organized crime syndicate. Every Congressional vote, every Congressional stock purchase is being committed by members of this syndicate.

all that is necessary for evil to succeed is for (good people to do nothing-scratch that), collaborators to suck up to monsters for the opportunity to debase themselves further

The country that put a man on the moon is whining about pesky due process

This is the kind of campaign that’s going to catch a LOT of Dems sleeping in 2026.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Why can't all those people they don't like or disapprove of just be polite and accept it?

Children dying of vaccine-preventable diseases due to parental neglect is truly a hellish reality. There will be more of these deaths and every single one will be a preventable tragedy.

Spoken like a wannabe mob boss, Nice little continent you got there, be a shame if something happened to it

"The president of the United States is using AI slop to sell war crimes and a potential genocide he considers a real estate deal. It is pitching ethnic cleansing with a meme." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wow, feel bad that Musk is unloading on Amy Gleason, the very official leader of DOGE, while she is on vacation in Mexico

Thousands of federal workers performing essential functions—from food safety to forestry and fire management to nuclear safeguards—have been illegally fired. The Department of Justice has abandoned more than 150 years of independence. The president has claimed that he is a king. It is day 31.

Amazing.

From the Nation:"Masses of enraged, terrified people are looking at the analog, slow-motion leadership of Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer and the zero-calorie rhetoric of House leader Hakeem Jeffries and want them replaced by people who know how to fight." Do we even have a concept of a plan?

Christ on a goddamned bike, is the orange one that fucking starved for attention that he's just going to be jerking the world around for the next 4 years while we all freak out?

US tariffs destabilize North America, deportations turn Central American into rent-a-prison franchises, EU is WTFing Unhappy coincidence? if one was looking for a way to set the US on a pathway to an Aryan nation gang bromance with Russia, claiming credit was always part of some concept of a plan
