that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

As predicted! And some believed him. It does impact everyone sooner or later ... #project2025 @cnn.com @jojofromjerz.bsky.social @joshmoonal.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/h...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

A Mississippi judge issued a temporary restraining order requested by the city of Clarksdale requiring a local newspaper, The Clarksdale Press Register, to remove an editorial that criticized city officials. The paper's owner said he planned to challenge the order.

Dark Pence is back.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

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.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 European government officials are working on a new, comprehensive package to increase defense spending and support Kyiv, - Berliner Zeitung 🇩🇪 Baerbock hinted that it could be ~€700 billion: "We will launch a large package that has never been seen on this scale before."

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

@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."

"MAGA supporters' anger towards Hanks reveals a deeper hypocrisy." #SNL @jojofromjerz.bsky.social @joshmoonal.bsky.social www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

The time to BEWARE, has passed…👇 Hasn’t it?! Unfortunately. For. Everyone.

Trump posted 14 times about his Daytona 500 trip—but not once about the deadly flooding in multiple states.

one of the stupidest things i have had the misfortune of reading today and i am sharing it with you.

#SNL Incredible that Sir Paul is 82 years old! The Beatles chart was a fitting end to the show ... The musician on the traps looked like he was having the time of his life! 🥁 youtu.be/iu4aedISw6g?...

Former record labor executive turned political activist Howie Klein thinks the Post didn't run the ad so they wouldn't "hurt Elon Musk's delicate feelings."

Via reddit:

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.

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

During segregation Black and white men couldn't even swim together. But, at 1:23 a.m. on Sept. 5, 1942, French was one of a few uninjured Sailors that found themselves floating on makeshift rafts when the Japanese ships turned their guns from the crippled ships to the crew floating in the water.

Hey DOGE bros - found some of that wasteful spending you were looking for. How many gov employees could have kept working and feeding their families with the estimated $2.5M this stunt cost?

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Just looking at the events of *this one day* compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The Veterans Crisis Line is now negatively impacted no thanks to reckless scorched earth WH policy. What a way to thank a veteran. 😔 Where are #republicans now in sptg our military? #veterans #VA #military @lincolnproject.us @jojofromjerz.bsky.social federalnewsnetwork.com/veterans-aff...
