“Sonny is part human, part AI: a new kind of chatbot that school districts are adopting to provide support when there aren’t enough counselors to go around.”

🇪🇺 should immediately threaten sanctions against SpaceX in case this happens. Only playing hardball will yield results.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

this is a sign wokeness isn’t truly dead

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

It looks like Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at the end of his CPAC speech.

BREAKING: Steve Bannon just did a Nazi salute at CPAC. THEY ARE TELLING YOU WHO THEY ARE!

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

Happy Black History Month

— 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 battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Trump: I AM A KING! NYT: Trump displays a "fondness for regal themes"

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

In 1996, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell was arrested for brandishing a pistol during a late-night confrontation over a parking spot at a casino in Iowa, according to news articles and court records from the time.

He should be our messenger.

These are talking points straight from the Kremlin. It is clear that Trump’s plan to “end the war” is to remove Zelenskyy, replace him with a Putin stooge, and then let Putin take over Ukraine.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

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.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

Dark Pence is back.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Arrest them. Seize their assets. #3E #EndOligarchy #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide

I just voted NO to advance Senate Republican's pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. They want to let Elon cut $1 trillion this year alone—those cuts are coming out of SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits, & more. Money out of YOUR pocket so BILLIONAIRES get more tax breaks.

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.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

It’s fitting that DOGE is just one big ‘rug pull.’ Elon, DOGE, Trump, and the MAGA media announce they've found an instance of massive fraud—one so absurd it on its face. Within hours, it collapses under the weight of its own lies. Then, without hesitation, they move right onto the next scam.

I will use any excuse I can to keep sharing this video. The four horsemen of the ER right now: Influenza A, COVID, RSV, and Pneumonia are all #AIRBORNE.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

“We salute and admire the courage many of you have already exhibited and that will guide all of you as you continue to serve the interests of justice. You’ve responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront..."

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.
