We are arms dealers to terrorists.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

the ā€œmake america healthy againā€ agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

This is my current understanding of the Constitutional order in the United States It is, needless to say, very bad

In advance of SpaceX/Elon engineers causing more airliner catastrophes here's a remind that American commercial aviation has had a near perfect safety record going back 23 years. Totally unprecedented in aviation history. Here's a graphic that gives the overview.

I understand that Big Brother Musk is now going through Americans' tax returns. Remember that IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH and FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

ā€œā€¦ the USAID inspector general recently released a report finding that, due to the Trump-Musk pause of funding, nearly $500 million in food assistance was at risk of spoiling. ā€¦ and barely 24 hours after the USAID inspector general revealed all this, Trump fired him.ā€ tinyurl.com/2ra8xv6d

DOGE team now firing the people who cut the checks to make sure your Medicare and Obamacare is current www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they donā€™t like. Stand tall against right-wing extremism. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

Donā€™t buy stuff on February 28. Moneyā€™s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which companyā€™s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Another emergency hearing scheduled for 5pm today on Trumpā€™s firing of inspectors general

This is a great piece.

ā€œConservative attorney George Conway joins Morning Joe to discuss the vice president's social media posts saying federal judges aren't allowed to control a president and why he says the White House won't obey court orders. Historian Jon Meacham also joins the discussion.ā€

Oh nothing, the kid who Elon allowed to access our sensitive information was a eugenicist who "was racist before it was cool."

A staffer for Elon Muskā€™s Department of Government Efficiency, whose access to Treasury payment systems was approved by a judge, resigned after links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism emerged www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

FROM CNN: The FBI is preparing to disband a team of specialists charged with combating foreign threats to US elections, a source familiar tells CNN. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statisticsā€”that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

"My first thought was: Well, the old wretchā€™s cheese has finally slid off his saltine..." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

"A letter submitted to the Senate sent by 'physicians' in support of Kennedy's nomination includes names of doctors who have had their licenses revoked, suspended or faced other discipline, the AP has found..." www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

The Trump trade war targets two of our closest allies, Canada and Mexico, but plays nice with China, a notorious trade cheat and driver of fentanyl. President Trump owns the economic and national security fallout.

Dr. John Gartner and Dr. Harry Segal review the norm-crashing first week of the Trump administration, and interview Professor John Bone, author of ā€œThe Great Decline,ā€ a study of the historical and psychological forces contributing to the rapid rise of the right.

He was literally grifting right after the PA plane crash.

A case of tuberculosis has been confirmed at a Michigan school. Just as the Senate considers an avowed anti-vaxxer to lead our nationā€™s health agencies.

Oh wait, you were actually SERIOUS about those tariffs?

Kash Patel told @amyklobuchar.com he did not recall saying Trump has ā€œevery right to tell the world that in 2020, 2016, and every other election in between was rigged by our government because they were.ā€ Hereā€™s the clip:

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

The White House has suddenly removed this page. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Guys, I hate to even suggest the possibility, but Iā€™m starting to wonder just a teensy-weensy little bit whether maybe, just maybe, FFOTUS wasnā€™t totally upfront and forthcoming about Project 2025 during the campaign

Good news, Republicansā€” those jobs you wanted are available.
