This should really be all anyone needs to know. He only cares about giant corporations and the oligarchs that fund him. Everyone else? Good luck.

Almost impossible to overcome a 20+ point political deficit in a span of 3 months. Almost impossible for a party to win a fourth consecutive term in power. Almost impossible for a sitting opposition leader to lose his own seat in his own riding. All those things happened last night. Wild.

🎉 🚨 UPDATE: As suspected, the cruel Lamberth & Watson bill to kick undocumented kids out of schools across 🇺🇸 is DEAD FOR THE YEAR, after huge pushback. Bravo, y’all 👏🏽 — finances is the excuse, but the truth is the support wasn’t there because of the backlash.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

It's hard to overstate the value of accurate forecasts. Since 2007, hurricane forecast improvements have reduced costs by $5 billion *per storm* on average, more than 4 times the entire NWS budget

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

4th Circuit: "The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process.

WATCH: “I’m here because I will not be bullied.” A pardon attorney fired by Trump says Trump’s DOJ sent armed U.S. marshals to deliver a letter warning her not to testify before Congress about Trump’s DOJ’s abuse of power. Context: www.yahoo.com/news/us-just...

24hrs later we are still uncovering new layers dumb

Thanks for sharing your story, Rebecca. Protecting folks with pre-existing conditions – like your son – was important to us. And it’s why we have to continue working hard to protect and build on the foundation of the ACA, too.

Reminds us of how @marshablackburn voted against it then showed up to try to take credit for it: x.com/thetnholler/...

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

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

Talk is cheap, GOP senators. Start voting against Trump’s nominees and agenda, or sit down and stop wasting everyone’s time and attention.

WATCH: Hegseth accidentally admits they fired all the military attorneys so they won’t be “roadblocks to anything” — then tries to clean it up and quickly move on

He nails it.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

JUST NOW: Trump again refuses to call Putin a “dictator”, despite calling Zelensky one repeatedly He will not criticize Putin

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

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.

Here’s @talsmith.bsky.social saying what we scream — people 💰 don’t 💰 understand 💰 we 💰owe 💰 the 💰 debt 💰 to 💰 ourselves 🚨 Cutting taxes —> Debt —> Bonds —> Interest paid (mainly to people with money already) A wealth transfer, as they DOGE ✂️ programs for regular people.

Journal of Infection and Public Health just published a paper summarizing case fatality rate (CFR) and infection mortality rate (IFR) for all of Austria from February 2020 through May 2023. This thread will summarize and try to make sense of its key results. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Captures it perfectly.

If you live in #Tennessee use this easy campaign to fight the anti-Pride flag bill. It's up for a vote on Wednesday. Your message will reach the subcommittee considering it. ujoin.co/campaigns/35...

Well-oiled machine

Another lie from the Musk-Trump regime

Dear recently fired, federal, employees, Apply for UCFE unemployment benefits ASAP !!! dol.gov

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Trump Is Freezing Money for Clean Energy. Red States Have the Most to Lose. Roughly 80 percent of those investments are in Republican congressional districts, where they are creating a once-in-a-generation manufacturing boom. The New York Times | www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/c...

The cybertruck sucks, and it failed, so Musk rescued it through a corrupt government scheme that is technically a federal crime American taxpayers are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a vehicle that everyone serious agrees is absolute garbage as a matter of construction and safety

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being. www.youtube.com/@americanmed...

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.
