A VERY STABLE GENIUS

Push Shitler’s approval ratings into the 30s and keep them there. Keep highlighting the corruption, and keep up the ridicule.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

In case you hadn't noticed:

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Time to rip the bandaid off and tell the truth to the American public.

2). Why do we continually give the media a pass when they report the hypocrisy of politicians who support Trump before the cameras but express disdain of him when the lights go out. Honoring beliefs in protecting sources is best reserved for a time when our democracy is not tenuously balanced.

Two things are at the top of my list of questions (by the way, I’m April’s husband Robert Pitney): 1). Who the hell is Susie Wiles, and why has the media ignored the enabling part she is actively playing in everything Trump;

Great job MAGA.

Trump is the Great Destroyer! Remove the madman!

Great job explaining why the economy could contract

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Yup.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Today U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered the Office of Personnel Management to rescind the mass firing of probationary workers across the government, ruling that the terminations were probably illegal.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Sign of the day…

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

I thought immigrants were criminals but I guess that only applies if you are the wrong color.

Fearing repercussions from your government. Fearing the sudden loss of healthcare for your whole family. Fearing that what the government intends for you is mere sadism—trauma without purpose or justification. This is what evil men do when we let them spend a lifetime doing evil without consequence.

In a report Trump refuses to release, the watchdog for USAID says cutbacks to USAID threaten the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal jeopardizing more than $300M in humanitarian aid for Gaza and it mentions other disturbing effects of those cuts in Africa. We just have to assume the worst.

I know there’s a phrase that perfectly describes what’s going on here but gosh darn it I’m blanking on it Maybe we can crowdsource this. The best I can come up with is I think it may rhyme with or sound something like “anti-magnetic lyco-bath.” Can anyone help?

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Anyone who tells you you're overreacting is underreacting.

NEW: A federal judge in CA just entered a TRO (temporary restraining order) against the Office of Personnel Management & its Acting Director, Charles Ezell, finding that OPM illegally terminated probationary federal employees because it had no authority to do so. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-r...

Commissioner Gordon says don’t mess with their ATC contract

If your employer self insured, share this with your management. Your CEO doesn't realize they are getting ripped off on their pharmacy benefits. Here is how www.nasdaq.com/articles/elo...

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning. That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.
