Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

This didn't take long.

All of fucking this!!!!!

White unqualified DEI hire fires top Black general with 40 years of service. Anti-DEI is pro-white supremacy.

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Pass. It. On. ✨

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

“I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Musk’s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the group’s access is unlawful.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

Exactly

Bad energy

The crazy part is they think they're fooling anyone. newrepublic.com/article/1916...

A nonpartisan anti-oligarch movement is the only way out.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Not enough blood. Acting ICE director removed amid White House pressure to boost arrests www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

"There are many good reasons to accommodate budding dictators, and only one reason not to: Anticipatory obedience is a key building block of their power," our columnist @mashagessen.bsky.social writes.

Hamas handed over on Thursday what it said were the remains of four Israeli hostages abducted during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, including a woman and her two young children. The bodies are expected to undergo forensic testing in Israel to confirm their identities. nyti.ms/41lOZz4

Rage is mounting among President Donald Trump’s allies over the losses that Trump’s agenda has suffered in court, which are clearly becoming a serious obstacle to him. It’s gotten so bad that Elon Musk and MAGA appear to be steeling themselves to defy judicial rulings.

A record 124 journalists were killed in 2024, mostly by the Israeli military. The CPJ believes there is evidence ten journalists were deliberately targeted and killed by Israel last year pressgazette.co.uk/news/cpj-jou...

A record number of journalists was killed around the world last year, and Israel was responsible for nearly 70% of the deaths, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. The Israeli military said it takes all operationally feasible measures to mitigate harm to reporters and civilians reut.rs/3X0CeHE

Sudan paramilitary group kills more than 200 people in three-day attack, activists say

•The earth is round •Climate change is real •NASA landed on the moon •JFK Jr and Elvis are dead •COVID vaccines don't contain microchips •The Holocaust happened •Gun control laws work •Trump lost in 2020, is responsible for the insurrection, and stole our secrets on his way out of town

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to cut taxes for billionaires like themselves—and pay for it by gutting Medicare and Medicaid. They don't care if families have to take on crushing debt to pay for care, as long as it makes them much, much richer."

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Barbara Jordan was born on this day in 1936 in Houston. The first Southern African American woman elected to the House of Representatives, she is known for her eloquent statement to the Judiciary Committee on Nixon's impeachment. /1

Hail to the thief. Stealing money from blue states, plundering our own country like it's conquered territory

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.
