Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

America. Come for the national security fuckup, stay for the economy fuckup.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

We are literally living in Orwells’s 1984 where they erase history. Omg!

Let this sink in.

Putin is laughing his ass off at the MAGA morons in our country

Horrified and embarrassed by USA leadership!

THE GRIFT IS REAL: Elon Musk is posed to score a $2.4 billion deal with the FAA to handle all air traffic control communications, after canceling a contract with his competitor, Verizon. www.theverge.com/news/620777/...

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Video shows moment Delta Airlines plane crash landed and overturned at Toronto Pearson International Airport yesterday.

thinking about the flight attendant in the video of the evacuation of that delta flight that crashed here. hard as hell. she was bracing herself up on fixtures in the plane surrounding her to direct people out of the plane to safety. be good to the cabin crew, people

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

This is probably the most accurate take.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

I’m sure deporting people who produce food and slapping tariffs on countries that we buy massive amounts of food from will lower costs any day now.

Trump and P2025 are actively eliminating the federal government so I’m wondering why tf any of us are paying federal income tax for services that will no longer exist? Fund your own oligarchy, assholes.

REAGAN: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies… beware of demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, national security, and the entire free world—while cynically waving the 🇺🇸 flag.” Trump’s bad ideas are not new.

Trump does not love America. He loves only himself. America and YOU matter not to him. He sees the United States as an asset for “Trump.”

Privatize everything so they can make money off everything and gouge the people for everything. The dismantling of our government and society and leaving behind the most vulnerable.

Air traffic controllers were sent emails by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane/helicopter collision.

After this week, I want House Democrats to do something like this.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.
