Wow…

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded. DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

I had the privilege of serving as the Cameron House Deputy Director for 4 years in the late 1990s. It's mission is still thriving.

Californians are asking the same question.

These three white "men" are Radical Domestic Terrorists.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Fingers crossed.

Trump is weak, compromised and corrupt. Even worse, he’s a traitor to America who’s shamelessly selling out our country to his puppet master Putin on a daily basis. Any Republican in Congress who supports him at this point is just as much of a traitor. Fuck them all.

She always looks so bewildered.

I’ve heard from a solid source that medical supplies from US to frontline medics in Ukraine are being withheld through USAID and military logistics. If true this is absolutely unacceptable.

Agreed

Skum did that w Twitter/X

The explosion of SpaceX’s Starship is a good metaphor for Trump’s failed presidency — except the whole country is dealing with the debris.

🔥 @RepAlGreen still fighting for the people TODAY with a message for Elon Musk

On FOX, no less.

There are no "illegal protests" under the First Amendment. This is just fascism brought to us by an ignorant old man drunk on power.

Some Canadian poetry for today. From Margaret Atwood's book, Morning in the Burned House. #poem #books #writing

“POTUS is not a man who earns his money, he’s a grifter that was born on third base -who steals from others then plays the victim when he gets caught. Musk was clearly made from the same mold.”

Fascism

Fascism is here. Name it. This is not what we are supposed to be about. 🇺🇸

Trump’s presidency isn’t just a disaster—it’s a deliberate act of destruction against American democracy and global stability. His cabinet is a rotating cast of unqualified loyalists, his diplomacy is a joke, and his governance is dictated by personal vendettas and unchecked narcissism.

When Republicans take out the Dept of Ed they will be sentencing disabled kids like my son to isolation and home school. Ohio parents of kids with special needs demand preservation of U.S. Department of Education ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/03/03/o...

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

I'm surprised he didn't p+ss himself.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Same

Trump and Vance just made Zelensky one of the most popular leaders in the world.

Couple weeks away from a new YouTube special, yall! I’m excited for yuns to see “Trash Daddy” (believe me I’ll be reminding you plenty between now and then). deadline.com/2025/02/trae...

She’s just bubbling.

TODAY…

He may be right. BUT, being part of a collective resistance has value. It's a first step.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

STOP THE MADNESS!!!
