Trump’s attempt to help Putin by cutting off intelligence for Ukraine defenders in Kursk is by in large failing. Everything Trump touches fails.

👇👇

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices. Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu. Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

⚡️Russia launched nearly 1,200 bombs, 870 drones, over 80 missiles against Ukraine this week, Zelensky says. The weapons that Russia used against Ukraine this week contained more than 82,000 foreign components, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Oh look three women abusers hanging out together

Over the last three years, the head of a small charter school network that serves fewer than 1,000 students has taken home up to $870,000 annually, a startling amount that appears to be the highest for any public school superintendent in Texas. By @emsimani.bsky.social and Lexi Churchill

They are sadists in the White House.

Currently, 3 of the TOP LEADERS in this ADMINISTRATION are KNOWN DRUG USERS. It ranges from ADDERALL, KETAMINE, MOLLIE and HEROINE. That we know of. But let’s attack our ALLIES because of FENTANYL? It’s always the GUILTY pointing the FINGER OF BLAME

JD Vance never once condemned Putin by name for indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets that murders children daily in Ukraine. But he’s irate at a couple grandmothers complaining to him about it.

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

No. This reflects the "let idiots privatize space" ethos.

As someone who is generally suspicious of purity tests, I will say this: Nobody forced Newsom to take those positions. It's not like he was in a tight race, fighting for his life, and then the question was put to him in a debate. He CHOSE to host a rabid transphobe on his OWN FUCKING PODCAST.

The number of protests that are gonna happen in the coming months just because it’s finally getting warm outside is going to be nuts

I’ve had a few people ask “oh, so is disagreeing with Gavin Newsom on trans athletes a PURITY TEST?” And yes, protecting trans people from discrimination is a vital purity test. It is pathetic and disgusting how many people who claim to be Democrats are failing it.

New emergency legislation introduced by Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI) to "prohibit funds for the Armed Forces to engage in operations to invade or seize territory from Canada, the Republic of Panama, or the self-governing territory of Greenland" www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Invading Canada would spark guerrilla fight lasting decades, expert says. “a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance, which would ultimately destroy the United States.” #CdnPoli

If you wanted to explain how the police protect the interests of capital in a single picture

Waste, fraud, and abuse is the federal government paying for a convicted felon and rapist to play golf multiple times every single week.

ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including: -42 cases at the CFPB -15 cases at the DOJ -6 cases at the EEOC -7 crypto cases at the SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships. Why? His fortune is collapsing. Nearly all of it is Tesla stock. You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.

There were already people in the government "reducing waste, fraud and abuse." Trump fired them and replaced them with one unelected asshole who's canceling programs he personally doesn't like and awarding himself government contracts

What has DOGE done? - Fired the people tasked with keeping Americans safe from the bird flu. - Gutted the IRS workforce during filing season. - Fired the FAA workers who make sure it’s safe for us to fly in planes. Does that sound like efficiency to you?

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Dana White and the UFC are basically an in-kind donation to Trump and MAGA. Why is White meeting Tate, a man accused of rape and sex trafficking?

My husband ran a successful business and used our local rural post office daily. My elderly neighbor’s meds come through the rural post office. The post office is one of the only places left open in my rural community. Losing it could quite literally kill my town and my neighbors.

Canada suspends imports from biggest US pork processing plant in North Carolina - shipments were valued about $850 million

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to make you believe that they are cutting “waste,” but they’re actually reaching into your wallet to fund tax cuts for their “rich as hell” friends. Spread the word.

Blaming Canada for pulling your alcohol from shelves after your government initiated an unnecessary, dumb-as-fuck trade war is peak flying monkey to an abuser behaviour Speak to your government if you want your product back on Canadian shelves. They’re the ones who started it

The Commerce Department just made it easier for states and municipalities to use government subsidies to buy Musk’s Starlink internet service. When Musk's many ethics conflicts are tallied up, it will make Warren G. Harding’s Teapot Dome scandal look like a game of checkers.

lmao, while i was talking shit about this, space x blew up another starship

I'd rather we fund cancer research than Elon's exploding rockets. I'd rather we fund critical services for our veterans than Elon's swasticars for our embassies. I'd rather we stop oligarchs from using our treasury as their personal piggy bank.

White Republican (J. Wilson) jeering moderate Black president at a time when heckling a POTUS was unheard of (2009): PARTISAN VOTE OF DISAPPROVAL Black Democrat (A. Green) protesting fascist white president after years of Republicans heckling a Democratic POTUS (2025): BIPARTISAN CENSURE Got it.

Read this. Trump is claiming inherent power to name an acting head of a Senate confirmed board, where the Vacancies Act doesn’t apply (and there’s no agency succession provision). Forget removal. This is Appointments Clause madness. Means he could name folks to MSPB and NLRB without the Senate.

There is a confirmed case of Measles in Florida. The outbreak is now in 10 states. www.wfla.com/news/florida...

Absolutely not. Call your senators and tell them NOT to repeal Section 230 or vote for ANYTHING that will give Trump more prosecutorial powers. We KNOW that he will only use any additional power in BAD FAITH to persecute vulnerable people. Find your senators here: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Maybe our taxpayer dollars can actually back to NASA and fund space research with actual experts who have some oversight and regulation? I know I know...I'm silly.
