This is really really scary and bad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Some more good news…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

We cancel research and education grants, then spend money on this:

president of el salvador is literally dripping with anger in this post with how it’s worded he was forced to have any level of accountability to prove a guy accidently sent their wasn’t murdered

Ukraine is beating Russia—sinking their fleet without a navy, killing 800,000+ invaders, and holding the line for 3 years. Donald Trump wants to save Putin. He won’t say Russia is the aggressor. Let’s be clear: there’d be a cease-fire if Russia…stopped. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/ukraine-is...

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

We are nearing the end.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

There we go. Support this man.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

I’m embarrassed to say this but there are only 4 truthful news outlets in America: NPR, PBS, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show. 🤯. It’s very disturbing, but I’ll take truth where I find it.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

This.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server? Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Delusional and unforgivable

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days. Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House. It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Horrific 🤬

Tonight:

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

“During a Tuesday interview on MSNBC, …Conway opined that Republicans ‘just want to burn it all down. … It is an attempt to destroy what they perceive to be as the enemy, which is the very government that they are charged with administering.’”

Hero

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

What she said.
