Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Don’t pass $4.5 Trillion in tax cuts and ever come at me again that we can’t have this.

Let’s go www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Another day, another plane incident NEW: An American Airlines flight from Boston aborted its landing at Reagan National Airport on Tuesday morning to avoid a plane taking off on the same runway, the FAA said in a statement

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

How many trans athletes does Trump's Order actually affect? Based on available data, along with Teen Vogue’s own reporting, Trump’s Order likely targets fewer than 160 of the more than 8 million student athletes in the country. ⤵️

NYT: “DOGE deleted the top five highest savings claims on its ‘wall of receipts’ leaderboard after variousnews outlets pointed out multiple errors in its calculations…” newrepublic.com/post/191973/...

Casar: "Enough with the lying and gaslighting. This is not about making government more efficient for working people. The Republican plan is about making government more efficient for big corporations and billionaires who are screwing us over."

I need you to prove you're not wasting taxpayer dollars doing pointless busywork by doing this thing i just admitted was pointless busywork

A statement from a spokesperson for The New York Times on White House press coverage:

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

McGovern: To the gentleman who just spoke from South Carolina, he may need reminder, maybe he could do a town hall in his district, 74,000 of his constituents receive coverage under the affordable care act. By supporting this resolution, he's betraying the..

In 1974 an antisemitic, Christian Nationalist Congressman from Arizona insisted that he be allowed to inspect the gold in Fort Knox after hearing testimony from Peter Beter, an author who believed world events were controlled by the Rockefeller family, the "Bolshevik–Zionist axis" & the Kremlin.

Before every vote, I ask myself two questions: who does this benefit? Who does this hurt?   Today, the answers are clear. This Republican plan would benefit the richest 1% and hurt families struggling to make ends meet by taking away Medicaid & nutritional assistance.

😳 this dude ran the FSB [KGB]!

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

So … “DOGE Quietly Deletes the 5 Biggest Spending Cuts It Celebrated Last Week” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/u...

 This is an attack on Medicaid, and anyone who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

Hey if you followed me and I missed following you back reply here

Bitch you are the government.

Seriously, this is the energy we need ALL DAY

Jeffries: "Let me be clear -- House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one. Not one."

Stanbury: "We will not give them one single vote!"

The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

FIRED These folks and thousands, more like them are not examples of government “waste” and “fraud”. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are lying to us!

Wild. Bond villain stuff. Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to describe this. The national security concerns here are off the charts. www.cnn.com/2025/02/25/b...

More of this!

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated over 1,400 employees.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Jasmine Crockett speaks for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What’s worse? That the US Attorney’s office for DC call themselves “Trump’s lawyers” or that they don’t know where to put the apostrophe?

[Silence.]

Donald Trump’s economy —

This was always going to happen. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

If you’re an elected representative and need a SWAT team at your town hall, you’re doing something wrong.

Wowza....

Vive la Résistance: Americans are waking up! joycevance.substack.com/p/vive-la-re...

NEW. Anne Applebaum on Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S. Very interesting. Applebaum argues Ukraine is in better shape than we might think despite Trump's reversal of policy, and that a European coalition of the willing may be emerging to support Ukraine and confront Russia. youtu.be/WsBKxgOFSLg?...

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

Amen to that☮️

I flew Delta from Palm Springs to JFK on Saturday and 40ish mins into the flight a FedEx plane passed by my window flying opposite dir VERY VERY close to our plane at 30k feet. I could see the windows, the bolts on the side, “FedEx” as clear as day — CLOSE. Scared the fcking daylights out of me.
