Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is booed by protesters as he announces Trump is cutting off funding for high-speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

We cannot let the truth be erased. Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and other trans women fought for LGBTQ+ liberation. The National Park Service must educate, not erase their contributions.

I’m confused, is this Dog(e) bot trying to counter my point or prove it??? Yes, the GOP budget IS a betrayal of the working class, precisely because it cuts Social Security while giving handouts to the elite. I’m glad we are agreed on that at least.

Again, Democrats have a perfect layup for “Republicans want to shut down investigating powerful billionaires accused of sex trafficking” and they seem to be content with “egg is expensive”

Calling this AI like Gemini is like calling a horse a giraffe cos they're both ungulates. Scientific machine learning is useful & supports the workers in their jobs. Chatgpt, Gemini, Midjourney, StableDiffusion et al do not help the worker. They replace them. And those people lose their livelihoods

The first thing Trump & Musk did was attempt to freeze payments to woke trans marxist grants which turned out to be Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, and police departments. So, no, this isn't Genius Musk figuring out something nobody understood, it's a bratty child pulling wires in a server room.

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

The Trump Administration ordered a sweeping halt to funding that supports cancer research, delivers food assistance, keeps small businesses afloat, and so much more. This is an unlawful, reckless move that will hurt tens of millions. We won't stand for it.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Republicans hate the idea of Americans being able to pay their taxes without lining the pockets of some massive tax prep company in the process. This is the kind of under the radar bullshit that should make people a lot more angry than it does.
