“If only I knew it was going to be this bad,” said everyone who refused to read Project 2025.

Israel says it is stopping the delivery of aid to Gaza until Hamas accepts a U.S. proposal for an extension of the ceasefire deal.

When you've lost Karl Rove.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

To be clear: Vance and Trump blew this up on purpose. Yet another gift to Putin. Pathetic.

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

I think it’s going to be very difficult for the House and Senate to reconcile this budget, but trying to force the House Energy and Commerce committee to cut 880 billion is going to kill people. Anyone who says Medicaid won’t be impacted is lying.

Just walked into my boss’ office and the TV was showing Fox News with the chyron “new poll shows voters loving Trump’s first month.” I don’t know who ran the poll or what voter they spoke to but that’s not representative of the people around me. Even the republicans I know don’t like it.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

TRUMP: We will be a merit based society.

In case it wasn’t clear before, the U.S. is officially aligned with Russia

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

New: the AP says it was blocked from an Oval Office event after being informed that it would be barred if it didn’t follow President Trump’s guidance on renaming the Gulf of Mexico

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Make no mistake. We are in the midst of a complete and total Constitutional crisis.

And just like that, MAGA doesn’t give a shit about the First Amendment anymore

A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI. So it’s not just the feds, it’s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Here’s the message they got:

I still don’t understand why the nazi salute wasn’t an issue. Why does he still have a job and companies and government contracts?

@angrystaffer.bsky.social was the flag at the State Dept flying upside down yesterday or was that a hoax?

Where are our former presidents? Are you telling me that Obama, Clinton, Bush and Biden don’t have anything to say about all this because of the sanctity of the office?

I’m guessing the immigration raids will stop once a few of the non resident Vietnamese and Filipino nail techs are deported and then white women with means no longer can get their nails done.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Six ways to send a message to your representatives

Every nominee hearing in the Senate: The Senate: Will you promise not to do cruel, crazy and illegal shit to appease the dictator in the White House? Nominee: Maybe. Not sure. Probably not. The Senate: Good enough.

An election denier has been confirmed as Attorney General of the United States.

The big problem is that most regular folks who voted republican are unaware of the current dire straights. There is a huge gap in understanding why what’s happening is bad. Saying it’s unconstitutional isn’t going far enough.

So the first insurrection was maga hats and thugs storming the capitol. The second one is just a small team of tech guys.

2 insurrections, same President.

Trump: The US will take over the Gaza Strip… we’ll own it

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

This is so good.

Who is the DOGE update guy on TT?

NEW: I was asked to start compiling a list of companies bending the knee to the Trump regime by ditching their DEI programs. Here you go! www.muellershewrote.com/p/companies-...

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍
