If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

4 ex-Dem grifters who all came to realize the Dems weren't gullible enough.

Guarding a concentration camp isn't the kind of thing most people want to sign up for. Along with a racist effort to purge officers who aren’t white, military recruiting is going to tank and the ensuing national security crisis will be entirely self-inflicted www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

Remembering tonight these very racist rants from the campaign trail that nobody seemed to take seriously at the time. Welp.

white guy DEI

Why do you think Trump fired Admiral Linda L. Fagan as Commandant of the US Coast Guard and abruptly kicked her and their family out of the Commandant's residence?

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

The interesting thing about now is how it proves that perception can be made into reality. The biases and distortions of the MAGAmind has manifested into this … this. The horrors they feared have been wrought by their own shitty little mittens.

😂

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

U.S. Marshals Service deputized Elon Musk’s private security, granting them federal law enforcement protections. The beginning of the American SS. Watch it grow exponentially.

Dear Americans, The only way anything ever gets better is for all the spoiled morons of America to suffer the consequences of their own vile, stupid, hate-filled plans. They may destroy the Department of Education but in time they will learn that pain is a wonderful teacher.

Good work @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social Let’s pass TOD this year!

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Why are MAGA still using the term “state-run media” when they control all three branches and think Trump is a King?

Fixed it 😘💅🍔

"The layoffs come in the middle of tax filing season. Former IRS officials warned that losing such a large number of employees could disrupt Americans’ ability to easily file taxes this year, even if the layoffs are not supposed to affect those deemed 'critical'...” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

Trump thinks sucking up to a Russia is a mutually beneficial relationship. He's that stupid to realize Putin is exploiting his biggest weakness: his ego. Putin doesn't want to "Make America Great Again." Basically Trump is being catfished by Putin.

I have little confidence we'll ever have elections again, or fair ones IF we do. But IF we survive to '26 and '28, you motherfuckers who SAT OUT this last election for whatever lame ass reason I swear you BETTER have learned your lesson from this terrorist regime clusterfuck. FFS, DO BETTER.

ProPublica found that some of the largest health insurers have created a playbook that prevents people from getting the mental health care they need. Join us tomorrow, Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation as we discuss barriers to care. RSVP: https://propub.li/4k4GYWm

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

We need more Democratic governors to start using coded separatist language. Trump is attacking Washingtonians. He is not Like Us.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Trump Supporters Shocked As They Are Fired From Government Jobs: Trump voters assumed that they wouldn't be the ones fired by Trump from their government jobs. They were wrong.

Looking for all those Republicans with pocket Constitutions who love to tweet about 1776

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

"working to swiftly rectify the situation..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I voted NO to confirm Howard Lutnick. I am not going to confirm ANOTHER billionaire to the cabinet who will just enable the most corrupt illegal power grab this country has ever seen. This is the most pro-billionaire, anti-middle class administration in history.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond? By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.

Trump says Zelenskyy “should have never started” the war with Russia (Putin started the war by invading Ukraine)
