Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

trying to imagine how loud the calls for my firing would be if i didn’t know who FDR was

NEW 👀: As predicted, Judge Ho has ordered a hearing for 2 p.m. this Wednesday to explore why the DOJ has moved to dismiss the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

Dear Canada, Don't sweat it. We're booing here, too. Sincerely, Decent Americans

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

Acosta: It’s hard to see somebody out-Spicer Sean Spicer or out-Huckabee Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but Karoline Leavitt—she’s making a run for it. Unless they’ve already done it on SNL, I have to think something like that is in the works, because the skit writes itself.

Cowardly Quisling

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

I can and should hate this malevolence. All decent, loving, compassionate people should. Every person claiming to care about what Jesus cared about should hate it. Good people should unapologetically hate atrocities against humanity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-ok-to-...

First Elonald has people in charge of our nukes fired, and now the USDA is trying to un-fire people tasked with protecting us from the bird flu? Each passing day these clowns are in office, we’re less safe.

Our Civilization Crumbling

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

Looking forward to discussing my book, “Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America” at Ypsilanti District Library on Feb 19 at 6:30 pm. Details here:

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.

"In less than a month’s time, Rubio has presided over America’s willing abdication as leader of the free world. It’s a shameful legacy that cuts against everything he once proclaimed to stand for."

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

I believe he is a danger to our nation, a threat to our safety, careless with our people, and reckless with his power. I believe America is less secure, less diverse, less compassionate, and less decent under his leadership. I will not obey him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-do-not-o...

How do we even know that Elon's DOGE hackers aren't using their computer skills to peel money off of everyone's Social Security accounts? WE DON'T KNOW. There is no transparency. All we know is Elon's goal was to *find* 2 trillion dollars without touching Social Security, and that's impossible.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

JUST IN: 900+ former federal prosecutors sign open letter warning that Justice's Public Integrity Section could be eliminated and saluting DOJ lawyers for response to "ethical challenges." Among those signing on: former special counsel Jack Smith. Doc: www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

Can you imagine if George Soros and Biden sat down and did an interview on CNN in 2021? MAGA would’ve broken into the Capitol and smeared sh*t on the walls all over again.

Trump: "Inflation is back"

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

Kristi Noem announces 'multimillion-dollar' ad campaign to curb illegal immigration news4sanantonio.com/news/local/k...

Amazing.

Why is Musk, who has no official role, sitting down and doing interviews with Trump in the White House?

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she will meet with "key leaders" to discuss removing Mayor Eric Adams from office.

It's really this simple, folks.

Trump: "Look, social security won't be touched, other than fraud."
