“We’re in a very dark place in America where we have a bully and a thug who’s the President of the United States.. These clowns dressed as presidents appear immature and narcissistic. That kind of power is killer. Authoritarianism takes us all over the world. We have to be vigilant, (2 in comments)

My Mother’s immigrant blood from San Luis Potosí, Mexico runs through me. I grew up poor in a melting pot (those people across the tracks) in North Las Vegas. My mother would say, “work hard, go to school, earn your way and always be kind. So, Donald, the only jobs we take are the ones we’ve earned.

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

Absolutely horrifying 🤡🎪

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

If wants to be a king, ok, fine. Let’s treat him like one.

NEW: While Elon Musk and his underlings demand budget cuts and layoffs across the federal government, funding for the agency they operate — the Department of Government Efficiency — has soared to some $40 million, ProPublica found.

The last thing King Donold wants is for millions of Americans to protest in Washington DC and just not leave.

DOGE is illegal Changing spending policies by executive fiat is illegal The authority granted to Musk is illegal It's not an opinion, but a fact Keep Reposting this

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement. Thanks, @rbreich.bsky.social

If Russia invaded Alaska, what would you call a US president who "made a deal" to prevent war by allowing Russia to annex the state and occupy the 730,000 Americans living there?

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Exactly 🎯

Cloves Campbell, Sr. was a historic figure as Arizona’s first Black state senator. I’m glad to see his paper lives on through his family and continues to serve the community more than 50 years later. #BlackHistoryMonth

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

It continues! This time at the TSA . My question is of those laid off due to poor performance how many were women or POC?

What kills me is that Elon Musk is such a weak man. Never forget PayPal paid him to leave because “he was far too annoying to work with.” He’s a coddled man baby and having the DOJ investigating Rep. Garcia because he got his feelings hurt is embarrassing.

I'm not surprised that Patel was confirmed. FFFFFF F F FFFF F F F U U U U U U U U U U U U UUUU CCC C C C C C C C CCC K K K K K K K K K K K K K K www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Let's do a little math: $40,000,000/100 = $400,000 That's the average *monthly* salary of DOGE employees. Yearly salary? $400,000 * 12 = $4.8 million

people think our leaders have access to superknowledge and are somehow way better than us. usually theyre much dumber. Some Democrats now admit they screwed up by voting for Trump’s nominees www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
