People think Trump is obsessed with being popular - he's not. He's obsessed with winning the popularity contest. But he knows he can't win by actually being liked, so as always, he lies, cheats, and rigs the numbers. It's no accident that the SAVE act will affect red states more, especially women.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

FUCKING FINALLY. Far too little and way too late, but at least we're starting to see some awareness and understanding of the dangers of giving Musk unlimited access to everyone's data, and the damage that can cause - and surely already has.

True loyalty cannot be bought, or gotten by force or trickery - it must be earned. If you buy it, it will go to a higher bidder. If you use force, it will vanish the second you weaken. If you use tricks, you'll only win loyal fools. But if you earn it, nothing, not even death, can take it.

Dems in Congress need to hear this: Your job is to REPRESENT us. So when WE are fighting for our country, YOU need to fight, too. WE are risking arrest, risking our jobs, risking our lives, because we KNOW what's at stake. If YOU don't do the same, you show us that you DON'T know - or don't care.

Some of DOGE is retribution, some is corruption, some is incompetence, some is a mix of those, but this is destruction for destruction's sake. It's undermining American science, industry, and commerce just because they can.

Despite what you may hear from Republicans and babies who haven't developed object permanence: things don't go away just because we stop looking at them. And if the thing we stop looking at is some sort of problem, like a public health crisis, it not only DOESN'T go away - it usually gets BIGGER.

Here at the Health & Human Services (HHS) rally in Washington, DC, to support our federal workers! Interesting chant from the crowd. “Hey, hey, RFK! We remember JFK!” Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke first and compared JFK’s championing of science & human rights to RFK’s anti-science stance.

Huh! Seems like most people think getting rid of government agencies is not a great idea in general. Who would have thought? The one with the highest % in favor of eliminating it, though? DOGE. Also of interest: how much influence people think Musk HAS, vs how much they WANT him to have.
