Here's an idea. Defund the Government. Stop Paying Taxes. Saw this recently:

"Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to cut taxes for billionaires like themselves—and pay for it by gutting Medicare and Medicaid. They don't care if families have to take on crushing debt to pay for care, as long as it makes them much, much richer."

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

200 million dollars of waste.

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

fuck you, Fx34. fuck fuck you fuck you.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

2 'exclusively indoor' cats in Michigan caught #BirdFlu, potentially from their owners who work in the dairy industry. Earlier in the month, a data table from the report may have appeared on the CDC website before being taken down. @livescience.com www.livescience.com/health/virus...

Evil is an understatement 😡

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

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.

that's because he's a horrible excuse for a human being. i hope he ODs. like, soon. very, very soon. seriously. fuck that dick.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Idiocracy was a documentary

European leaders are working on a military aid package for Ukraine — worth at least €20 billion — to bolster Kyiv's negotiating position ahead of upcoming peace talks, three EU diplomats told POLITICO.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

Don't ever forget, donaldTrump gave them all pardon. 😡 😡 100% 👇🏾

To be clear, “Protests are useless” and “there is no point” commenters / trolls will be muted, repeated instigators will be blocked. 0 tolerance for bike shedding and concern trolling.

Well this isn’t ominous

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

The ‘real’ reason they are gutting the IRS…👇 Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

Chinese warships that have been sailing south along the eastern coast of Australia gave notice on Friday of their intent to conduct live fire exercises in international waters between Australia and New Zealand, forcing commercial flights to divert and putting the two countries on edge.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.
