The USA can no longer be relied upon to defend its allies, uphold democracy, and stand up to dictators. The USA has made itself irrelevant in the fight for freedom, independence, and representation. The rest of the world should act accordingly.

Per @chrisdjackson.bsky.social on another platform: “It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.”

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

In 2022 Donald Trump Junior went to Mongolia and ate a marmot, which is banned becuase of the risk of bubonic plague. His hunting buddy is now in charge of food safety in the USA. Rachel Maddow's work here is impeccable. youtu.be/Ywin90k2B8g?...

Apple already voted on this - their DEI policies are staying. Republicans have long stated they believe a business. should determine their own fate, but I suspect this is only a principle when it's convenient.

The fact they suspended a program tasked with ebola prevention for ANY length of time shows they are not taking anywhere near enough care. It displays an acceptable recklessness.

As @aoc.bsky.social said, they have not identified $880 billion in waste, fraud, or abuse. The task is NOT to find waste, fraud, or abuse and eradicate it, but to cut the budget to meet a quota. You're being gaslit.

Markets are not free - they are governed by rules. These rules prevent scams, monopoly abuse, pyramid and ponzi schemes, bait & switch tactics, gouging, insider trading, etc. All of these institutions responsible for this oversight may be dismantled, allowing market chaos and oligarchy.

The entire crew of paid, coordinated right-wing influencers all blasted out this pre-planned lie in unison last night. Rinse, repeat. I guess they think when people don’t have tax free tips/overtime in their paychecks, they might not notice. Good luck with that after you hype it.

Americans tend to equate someone having money with someone having ability. Perhaps, watching idiots like Donald Trump and Elon Musk ruin everything will dispel that superficial assumption. People get money for all kinds of reasons, some legal, that have nothing to do with ability. #RichFathers

1 in 7 families in California rely on SNAP. That’s less than $7 a day to help afford increasingly expensive food. $7 can barely buy a dozen eggs right now. And, remarkably, Republicans want to lower that number to pay for tax cuts for corporate donors. Unconscionable.
