They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

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"

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

Driving in St. Pete/Tampa, passing so many ginormous churches that are crazy packed, knowing that at least 50% of those people will spend this 1 hour/week pretending to be pious & pure while getting drained of their cash, then spend the rest of the week wearing crosses while being hateful cunts.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

2 years ago my amazing husband had a triple heart bypass. In the US this would have cost roughly $500k, including hospital stays and meds. The #nhs gave him the best treatment, support and outcomes for the grand price of £0. I will fight with every bone in my body to save the NHS.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

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.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

This week, @wired.com has gotten a lot of love on this here app. (Thank you!!) But I don’t think I can overstate what a force @bsky.app has become in influencing the entire media ecosystem. So refreshing to have a platform that isn’t actively hostile to hard news.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

So lets recap: - Trump announces tariffs. - Allies turn against the U.S., launch boycotts on U.S. products and boo us at events. - Markets nosedive. - Trump caves. The "deals": - Mexico agrees to do the same things they always do at the border to help the U.S. (including under Biden) 1/

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

There's a lot going on, but I will be watching closely whether the Trump regime follows court orders to unclench its grip on congressionally appropriated funds. From what I'm hearing, he still hasn't fully complied with that court order.
