To George Washington from William La Péronie, 5 September 1754 I shan’t make Bold to describe the procedings of the House, which no doute you have had already some hint of. ⬇️

Do you make more than $360,000 per year? GOP tax explainer

Republican Rep. Kevin Hern (OK-1) tries hard to dodge a question. The people are waking up & are growing tired of Trump’s yes men. @dcombes.bsky.social

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

Laguna Beach is an art colony. We support the arts. Chip Bok is the brilliant award-winning political cartoonist that created this artwork.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

Rep Grothman is laughing at his constituent. Perhaps he is embarrassed by the display of feelings, or he believes the Little People are silly. ⬇️

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Good thing we are not in a race against any adversarial countries over science and technology www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

"Replaced with someone so indisputably unqualified that they required a presidential waiver."

Trump and Musk’s illegal power grabs are hurting working people. They’re gutting Medicaid, public education and the VA all to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Today thousands of people showed up at the State House to say we are ready to fight back.

In 1860 three of the richest and most politically well-connected white men in Barbour County, AL were appointed generals in the Confederate army despite having no military experience. That worked out about as well as one could guess.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

2. Keep the message simple; In order to pay for a $4.5 trillion tax cut for Musk and his friends, Republicans are planning on cutting SS, Medicare and Medicaid, Public school funding, school lunches, public health etc

“Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation”? I’m assuming the unions are going to swing the hammer of Thor at this one.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Join CCDC for a timely presentation by Professor Michael T. Roberts, a leading food law and policy authority. As a pioneer in this field, Professor Roberts will explore the implications of the new Trump administration’s policies on food regulation. 2:30 pm at La Crescenta Library conta.cc/3Qt75ZN

““We did not elect him,” a man shouted. As the town hall reached its scheduled end, more constituents shouted questions about Musk’s access to taxpayer data and yelled “don’t lie to us””

"[P]eople think that the Trump administration’s anti-DEI purge is about removing pointless corporate symbolism or sensitivity trainings... is really about tearing anti-discrimination laws out at the roots" ⬇️

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

This made me so angry I have to not actually say what it made me think.

IF you're DISABLED, PAY ATTENTION !! www.alternet.org/disability-p...

Elon Musk and DOGE are killing your government. Windows updates are killing your computers. ⬇️ Don't tolerate it.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world: 1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control 2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research 3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest” All three are under threat.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

MAGA wants to demolish the Equal Credit Opportunity Act , Johnson's Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, and then dismantle the New Deal. They are ripping up Teddie Roosevelt's FDA. Of course MAGA wants white male supremacy.

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

The mental leaps, the logical pretzels, the sheer effort that some people in the media are going to have to come up with to avoid naming the most obvious fucking reason in the universe all this stuff is happening

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
