SCOTUS taking up the case of the firing of inspectors general is a big deal. It is unequivocally illegal. If they side with trump, things go from terrible to...I don't know.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Last night, President Musk and his reek, Trump, said they wouldn't touch Medicaid. Well, they lied. Today, Trump endorses the cuts. Nice, nice.

If this doesn’t anger you you’re part of the problem.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Well, this one aged like milk didn’t it? 😂

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

And that's the quid pro quo right there. Mayor Adams to Sign Order Allowing ICE Agents Into Rikers Island www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Hypocrite! Republicans of today have no sense of decency... no shame. When those are gone, the society does not have a basic tool to "force" people in power to change their ways. Without "shame" public opinion is toothless.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

We have been aware of people’s needs for so long & nothing has been done to help them. There has been great people throughout history trying to fight for those with no voice. Unfortunately at same time there’s too many evil people trying to keep those people silent , obedient, & dependent.

Just calling it like I see it.

THIS IS PERFECT.

THIS IS AMAZING. ✊

Hello MAGATs

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

The destruction has started…

I highly recommend the book"the second founding" to anyone trying to understand the attack on 14th right now

Absolutely admit I would not have predicted this.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.
