Trump is engaging in blackmail just like he did in his prior administration.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Dems should introduce legislation to that effect.

Wish I were close enough to go.

I've long been advocating impoundment of tax remittances to the feds but had not thought of your other suggestions. These are excellent. I

But they haven't bothered with threats to congressional members.

We gave Ukraine old military equipment that was essentially no longer used.

Good for her. He is nothing but a school yard bully. It he doesn't give her Maine's share of federal funds, then she shouldn't give him any or Maine's remittances to the fed.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I believe that Kash Patel is a DEI hire. I thought Trump was against DEI. The new hire for the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a WMO hire as is Pete Hegseth. WMO = White Men Only.

And our researchers have all been fired.

Do you think they might be scared of physical harm?

We need foreign intelligence services to give us the goods on this.

Trump already has Musk running most of the government. He has now hired a pardon czar. Trump has played golf 10 of his 31 days in office at $1 million per trio. He appears to be a figurehead. Are we going to stand for this? Do we have a choice?

I’m starting to think he’s got no second act. He’s like a bad one-hit wonder band from the 80s.

These "DEi" hires, as the maggots call them, are much more qualified than the "WMO" White Men Only hires that are replacing them. Oh boy, I hope we don't have a war. Dems should put a hold on all these appointments.

Obama getting elected president really set these mediocre white men on fire.

And we should do a general strike and a 12 million person march and burn them to the ground. We must do this.

They should hold this one up forever.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

@apnews.com. Thank you for standing up to Trump regarding your newsroom access. I wish more people had your courage. Good luck.

They are not willing to sacrifice for their country as our early leaders did. I find it interesting that Liz Cheney is braver than all of these people in Congress.

Well Peter Thiel is gay. Is anything intimated here?

That whole book was a lie. He grew up in Ohio. He's not a hillbilly but he's an opportunist. He hooked on to the tech bros quickly for money and fame. He will 25th amendment Trump (backed by the tech bros) and become president. He will be worse than Trump.

That whole book was a lie.

They’re going prosecute AOC and when they do, I don’t wane to hear a damn negative word about her on here whether you think she’s too far to the center or too far left. Normal politics are now cancelled until further notice.

So Mitch McConnell won't be seeking re-election next year. Good riddance. He and Merrick Garland share much of the blame for this neo-fascistic second Trump term.

But we seem to be losing the legal cases to put a stop to this unlawful activity.

I thought they were supposed to be working free. $40 million was probably all you could find. It's probably more.

Man oh man Stephen Miller better hope he's wrong with his "only two genders" bullshit because one thing he is not, is a man

And I'm looking at one who made the original post ELON MUSK IS A CRIMINAL

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Nice try, snowflakes.

„President @ZelenskyyUA is one of history's great wartime leaders. When this war comes to an end, his name will be mentioned in the same breath as Churchill. The democratic world owes him a very great deal—and we must all stand with him today.“ Anders Rasmussen

We should all be doing this.
