Ooh, I know: the Black guy and the woman. Not qwhite sure why, though.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

How do we even know that Elon's DOGE hackers aren't using their computer skills to peel money off of everyone's Social Security accounts? WE DON'T KNOW. There is no transparency. All we know is Elon's goal was to *find* 2 trillion dollars without touching Social Security, and that's impossible.

MAGA 101: When they give a band of drunk monkeys flamethrowers and machine guns don’t be surprised if the house is burning and your skids are shot. This is arson by snotty self serving morons.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

How embarrassed are you to be American? Scale 0-11. I’m an 11. Pass it on…

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

How’d I miss this? “It’s Denali,” says @lisamurkowski.bsky.social www.murkowski.senate.gov/press/releas...

Egg prices are now at record highs with price increases showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Every. Word. Of. This! Senator Alsobrooks: "In his wicked hunt for vengeance, this president has decided that no target is too small, no family is too vulnerable, and no American is out of bounds."

THE CHIEFS CAN STILL WIN IF MIKE PENCE HAS THE COURAGE

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

Marco Rubio is a pathological liar, and millions are likely to die because of his cowardice.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Bravo, Rep. Marc Pocan !

This is AMAZING news! Fuck Amazon www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Sell your Teslas and don't buy Cybertrucks unless you want everyone to laugh at you. That's what we all do, btw. Everytime we see that stupid car, we just laugh.

Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.

Quick reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a figment of President Musks imagination and has no power, and isn’t an agency

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it. Let's act accordingly.

This is what democracy looks like. Denver showing up. #fucktrump #fuckelon #nooligarchy

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

2 insurrections, same President.

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

Jasmine understands the assignment: "Everyday we show up for you. ... What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now."

We need to be calling all of our electeds, at all levels of government and insist they fight Trump/Musk's savage attack on US govt, the reckless tariffs, his unacceptable nominees. This has become a national fight, a true all hands on deck moment...👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-a...

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Firing FBI agents for investigating violent crimes perpetrated against Capitol police officers is an illegal attempt to rewrite history and intimidate agents into submission. I’ll discuss with Stephanie Ruhle at 11:30 pm ET on @MSNBC.

Somehow, I know in my bones he's obsessing about this

The world’s richest man — who was not born in America — has seized complete & total control of the presidency — and all your money: credit, stocks, bonds, cash — all of it. And he doesn’t pay for eggs nor gas. Thanks, maga.
