This expression says “I think I’m sitting in J.D. Vance’s wet spot.”

Winston Churchill in the White House… Not wearing a suit because he is at war.

Zelensky is the guy that maga pretend Trump is

That is because they are mendacious

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

Slava Ukraini!! #FDT #FuckNazis #slavaukraine #SlavaUkraini #resist 💙 So ashamed of our country right now..nothing more than draft-dodging thugs, traitors, and puppets of Putin trying to shake down a country for their resources.

YES!!

I'm 72 and have never been ashamed for being American until now. Nixon made me cringe many times but I never doubted his loyalty to our ideals.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

No more work-from-home, government workers, except for Kash Patel, who will run the FBI from Las Vegas www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

How it started / How it’s going

Hilarious

Nothing screams “limited government” like restricting interstate travel.

I’ve seen reliable estimates that Russia has lost 850,000 casualties including 300,000+ dead since the start of the war. Its economy is teetering on the brink, due to inflation and high interest rates. Trump is hellbent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Jesus Another Air Disaster averted. Will somebody step in, block them, do something! If I could do something more, I would. We need the Dems that we elected to lead us!

"Data doesn't lie"? It's amazing how much the same people who mocked pre-eminent scientists during COVID are now blindly following a ketamine-fueled hustler and the teenage DOGE dorks.

He nails it.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Trump wants to gut Social Security but he just spent neatly $11 million in one month of our tax dollars to play golf. Trump is the Marie Antoinette of America--and we all know how that story ended. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

The official White House account posted this.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

📌On August 18, 2020, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump get elected. The committee chair? Marco Rubio. The very Rubio who was surrendering to Putin today. Just what in the hell is going on here????

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

The two men cutting flight safety never fly commercial.

Joy Behar on The View: "Egg prices are supposed to come down, not airplanes." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Musk just posted a photo on X that supposedly showed migrants with axes and knives taking over a hospital, but the photo turned out to be a screen shot from the movie Dark Knight Rises.

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Imagine if Barack Obama or Joe Biden said they were above the law. Imagine if Obama or Biden were pocketing tens of millions of dollars while they were in office. Imagine if Obama or Biden pardoned people who violently attacked the Capitol to prevent a Republican from taking office.

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered. 70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt. Foreign aid is 1% of the budget. You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.

If Elon Musk were a regular guy with 13 kids from 4 women while living off government money, Fox News would call him a deadbeat. But since he’s a Trump-supporting billionaire, he’s a ‘visionary.’

A century later, it's Germany sounding the alarm about a dark malevolence spreading across the world. The harbinger of darkness this time...is us. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Trump states that he wants Russia to return to the G7. For reference, Russia was expelled from the G8 in 2014 following the occupation of Crimea.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Opinion | It's time to remake the military to put America First. We'll start by renaming bases for Confederate generals who waged war against the United States. by Pete Hegseth

One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/
