Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

This month, @karenhao.bsky.social spoke with more than a dozen federal workers who described how the Trump administration is pushing a new ideology and stoking paranoia. “People are terrified,” one source said, “not for losing their jobs but for losing democracy.”

Since taking office, Trump has been trying to advance the unitary executive theory, a fringe legal theory that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

A reminder that Nikki Haley endorsed, supported and voted for Putin’s puppet. Just shut the fuck up.

How was this contract awarded??!

Keeping women from voting—the ultimate desire of these misogynists.

Good news, everyone! You get to do whatever you want! As long as you say you were trying to save the country, it’s all legal now.

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I won’t stop posting this.

From budget hawks at the Peterson Foundation: GOP budget adds "trillions more in new deficits and debt. It allows for $4.5 trillion in revenue reductions, with only $1.2 trillion in offsets. All told, this plan would add more than $25 trillion to the debt over the next decade."

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.bsky.social files lawsuit on behalf of Baltimore and Economic Action Maryland, to halt Trump admin effort to defund the CFPB. Visit www.democracydocket.com for breaking news.

A federal judge blocked DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department's payment systems after Democratic attorneys general from 19 states sued Trump and the Treasury for granting DOGE access.

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

No one in American history has combined this many conflicts of interest across the globe, with this much state power—legally authorized or not.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

The dipshit twins shut down the consumer financial protection bureau, which protected Americans from being scammed. So expect even more scamming from them! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

Just a reminder: the draft-dodger saluting during the anthem thinks our Veterans and Troops are suckers and losers. Never forget.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

If Leon and the Dumpster are going to end my social security, I’d like to know who’s writing the check for what I’m owed. I’ve put in hundreds of thousands more than what I’ve been able to collect in the last year.

Whew! This needs more amplification and a deep dive.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority. And no one seems to be able to stop him. So this is fine.

Hey “price of eggs” Trump voters, your rotting gourd god said that prices are going to go up for a “little while” thanks to his tariffs, and that it will cause some “pain”, but that it’s ok, because you “understand.” Do you understand that you voted for higher prices and pain?
