you wanna talk about waste and fraud? trump went all the way to rome just to take a nap

So beautiful

A strong earthquake struck central Myanmar, earthquake monitoring services said, which affected Bangkok as well with hundreds of people pouring out of buildings in the Thai capital in panic after the tremors reut.rs/3DKedhH

The Venn diagram of why Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education and why young conservative men complain that women don’t want to date them looks like one single ⭕️

The National Weather Service is facing significant staffing cuts and has temporarily reduced weather balloon launches at several sites. These balloons are a key tool used by meteorologists to gather data for weather forecast models.

Jessica: When I hear Republicans out there talking about their plan for education in America, I don't hear them talking about making sure disabled kids have access to a public education. Greg: Because we're against it.

The loud part, loudly 👇

⚠️ INTELLIGENCE WARNING 🚨 The U.S. is scaling back efforts to counter Russian sabotage. 💥 This is a crisis! 💥 Authoritarianism is here! #AmericaHasNoKings www.reuters.com/world/us-sus...

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Neither of Marco Rubio's parents were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth in 1971 in Miami. They applied for U.S. citizenship and were naturalized in 1975. There is some really sick shit going on at the top of this country right now.

Trump administration terminates a US-funded initiative that documents alleged Russian war crimes, including a sensitive database detailing the mass deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

“She describes [Zuckerberg] as a cross between a truculent teen and a toddler: he doesn’t like to get up before midday, even to meet prime ministers, and his obsequious colleagues feel obliged to let him beat them at board games.” Sigh. The tech bros are all the same.

Opinion | Yes, a violent gang of young men has taken our nation hostage. The name of that gang is DOGE.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

The termination notices for grants for the funded networks, carried the signature of Trump's senior adviser Kari Lake, whom he placed at USAGM, not the agency's acting chief executive. Lake does not appear in her current job to have the statutory authority to carry out that termination.

NEW: The family of Mahmoud Khalil have just released footage of his arrest. It’s distressing. “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” The men who take him are in plain clothes and in unmarked cars. They refuse to give their names or even say what agency they’re from. He is just disappeared.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

I promised you guys more taxpayer-funded lightshows from SpaceX and they delivered! Blew up over the Bahamas, diverting lots of flights to avoid the debris. bsky.app/profile/gbru... bsky.app/profile/jono...

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

He also strongly believed we could inject people with bleach to cure Covid and that transgenic is the same as transgender. He’s an absolute moron so maybe we shouldn’t be basing any policy on what he thinks.

Seeing Al Green being escorted from the House reminded me of the time Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert weren’t.

trump adviser says the veterans trump has fired from jobs in the U.S. government are "perhaps not fit to have a job" www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcn...

Musk plans to fire 7,000 Social Security Administration employees while calling Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time.” However, Americans have paid into the system their entire working lives!

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

I just realized that Isabella Rossellini is wearing blue velvet in honor of David Lynch & immediately started to cry.

#rolex commercials during the #Oscars are great. Love the promotion of the film industry.

Zoe Saldana gave a memorable speech. Bravo. #Oscars #Emiliaperez #zoesaldana

Zoe’s is the speech they’ll be talking about on the news tonight and in the morning. Powerful and beautifully expressed. #Oscars

Is MAGA screeching about raking the forests in South Carolina yet or nah?
