"The evidence linking James Rodden to the online accounts in question is strong, with significant biographical consistencies spanning over a decade. … The depth of the investigation leaves little room for doubt.” Strong reporting by @stevanzetti.bsky.social! www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Listen to the asshat. I hate to hear his voice but he truly is demented.

The governor of Maine is a 77-year-old in the middle of her second term in office and therefore ineligible to run for a third. But King Trump here tries to intimidate her by saying she'll have no future career in politics if she dares to stand up to him. I think she's all good, man.

He lies almost as much as trump

Ketamine high!

I remember that, yeah.

Feckless cowards

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Nonpartisan watchdog American Oversight has filed a disciplinary complaint asking New York authorities to investigate potential professional misconduct by acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, the Trump DOJ official who oversaw the dismissal of criminal charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

13wham.com/amp/news/nat... The layoffs are already having a negative effect. The VA is in complete disarray. I was told the other day, 4-6 week wait just to process a referral for an orthopedic surgeon I need. It will take months to get an appointment with the surgeon after that.

2/18/2025 "Released from prison earlier today after spending 50 years behind bars, Leonard Peltier, American Indian Movement activist, has officially landed in North Dakota and is on his way home to Turtle Mountain."

How other countries view the USA.

Sadly true, but the drawings gave me a good chuckle 😹 Cartoonist: @bagleycartoons.bsky.social

"I can no longer be a part of what we can all plainly see is happening to our country." Somebody should collect these incredible resignation letters and make them a book. This one is from Nate Brought, resigning as director of the NIH Executive Secretariat. www.linkedin.com/posts/nathan...

BREAKING: The Senate has just voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director in a narrow 51-47 majority. trump nominee Chris Wray passed 92-5. Only Rand Paul voted against James Comey. Robert Mueller was confirmed 98-0. Patel is historically UNFIT.

This is not how federal criminal investigations work. —me (former federal criminal investigator)

Well now that Kash Patel, a Gen. Michael Flynn acolyte has been confirmed by the feckless Republican Senate we're truly fucked.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

This man is one of the bravest men to ever live and to hear Elon fucking Musk, a man who has never spent a second fighting for his country call President Zelenskyy anything other than a hero is disgusting. And don’t even get me started on captain fucking bone spurs 🤬🤬🤬

New CNN POLL February 13-17 How Trump Is Handling His Job as President Approve 47% Disapprove 52% My guess is . . . The rate of chronic mental illness in the U.S. is around 47%, wouldn't you agree?

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

If you don't know the difference between million and billion, you shouldn't be doing audits.

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

. DOGE just tried to pass off an $8 billion savings on an $8 million contract—either they can’t do basic math, or they think you’re too dumb to notice. And if that’s a lie, what about their so-called $55 billion in savings? How much more fabricated BS are we swallowing before we call it FRAUD!!

👇🏻

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Mike Lee is such a stupid little b**ch.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

I’ve decided that instead of spending a week with family in NY state I’ll be driving out to Alberta to see my Army buddies this summer, I’d rather my money stay in Canada. It seems more and more of us are doing this, Fuck the Mango Mussolini. 🇨🇦
