At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

hmmm?

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

American Christians have turned their backs on Christ and are following a felon/rapist/conman who will bring pain and suffering. I am not hostile to religion, if it helps someone to become a better person. However, we are witnessing a capitulation by people who claim to be followers of Christ.

@dylanmo.bsky.social degrades our military. You know what to do!

I'm curious if Trump has a spot on his golf course for Melania

We are only one month into his presidency and Trump's poll numbers are tanking. Musk's numbers are also dropping. In a little while the reality of these actions are going to hit red states hard. Expect his numbers to drop führer. newrepublic.com/post/191830/...

LENIN KILLED 54 MILLION Putin now approaches one million deaths in his invasion of Ukraine. How many lives will Trump be responsible for forfeiting? www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/U...

gossip AMPLIFIES propaganda posting bullsht HELPS Elmo Musk help us fight fascism by posting ONLY FACTS gossip AMPLIFIES propaganda 🤦🏻‍♀️

What are Musk and his hackers doing in the Social Security Administration? Americans paid into these accounts with our hard earned money. It has nothing to do with the deficit. That was caused by GOP tax cuts largely for the rich and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

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.

Traitor tRump would do Anything for Money👿🤬 Former Soviet intelligence officer alleges tRump was recruited by KGB in 1987 & given codename “Krasnov.” web.archive.org/web/20250221...

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

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 is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

I repeat, if you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance, please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com. We have a plan and may be able to help you.

Put together the plan. Then tell me who you think will say yes.

So...now that our DUI Hire Pete Hegseth fired highly qualified CQ Brown for allegedly being too woke, who's our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? Do we have one right now? Sincere question.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he was firing Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first female officer to rise to the Navy’s top job of Chief of Naval Operations, and would be looking for her replacement.

Finnish MEP Mika Aaltola reports that the Trump led US has given Europe three weeks to agree on terms for Ukraine’s surrender to Russia. "Trump prioritizes Russia’s security concerns now and in the future. Let them own their mess. We have three weeks to grow up." www.kyivpost.com/post/47574

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

Friends - Latest update. Good news and not great news. No popping champagne yet. We are still at it and we are formidable opponents. www.lohud.com/story/news/h...
