Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"

Another shameful action. There are a lot of Vets out there suffering from what happened to them while defending our country who need all the support they were promised

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Russia doesn’t have the resources to fight indefinitely against Ukraine’s organization and determination, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. The only way for Putin to defeat Ukraine is to convince Ukraine’s allies to be sick of the war. theatln.tc/KQky8p2f

Tarlov: In the bill Republicans are putting forward, there will be $880 billion cut to medicaid. And you see Republicans all over the country … people are showing up in OK, AR, PA, MO, WI and they’re saying, ‘what’s going on at DOGE is unacceptable, and are you kidding me with these Medicaid cuts?’

Just your daily reminder that DOGE has found ZERO fraud. Via @atrupar.com www.publicnotice.co/p/despite-th...

Really stop with the distraction games to cover rank incompetence

Katherine Clark: "We just see cowardice. We just see them bowing to Trump, bowing to the fear Elon Musk will fund a primary opponent for them. Is there any red line that they won't cross? Is there anything that they won't give from their constituents to the billionaire class bc Trump told them so."

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. is not among these defenders of Ukraine but deeply grateful to the other nations of the world who have stood up to fill the void we have left.

This is what the International Summit of Support for Ukraine looks like in Kyiv today, February 24, 2025. Try to find the US flag here. 🤷‍♂️

So, America, how's that eliminating the Department of Education going? Good?

Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war. Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

There's the plan: Throwing millions off Medicaid and then saying "no we didn't!"/"they deserved it."

“We fired all the guards at the bank so they’re not roadblocks to anything that happens.”

If only Ukraine didn’t have that big Drone magnet that forces Russia to do this, there would be peace

1/2 D Trump, P Hegseth, E Musk among them, have: -Around nine marriages (count varies) -Multiple out-of-wedlock children; -Multiple sexual-misconduct accusations, cash settlements, at least one jury verdict; -Zero time in uniform (Trump, Musk). Iraq/Afgh for Hegseth. Yesterday they fired ....

I’m sure Trump & Musk will condemn Putin for this since they claim to care so much about peace and the Ukrainian people.

Five things I accomplished this week: 1. Visited wife's 96 yo father who relies on Medicare and SS 2. Sat in a hot tub overlooking the Salton Sea 3. Drove our RV halfway down the Baja peninsula 4. Petted Gray Whales who came to play with our boat 5. Drank some cheap but good tequila #Email2DOGE

Just a coincidence, of course.

#Emails2DOGE 1. Go fuck yourself 2. I laughed at Trump’s CPAC clown show 3. I trolled Leon on X 4. I went golfing like the fascist dictator did 5. I lit your email on fire.

When his own site tells you what he’s up to —

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Chief of Naval Operations were hired because they were superbly qualified, not because of DEI. But they were fired because they were black and a woman. That's racism and sexism. Call it what it is.

He nails it.

Shutting down existing EV charging hardware, which has already been paid for, is the definition of government waste. But I don't hear DOGE doing anything about this… 🙄 electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Действительно, очень большие яички!!

Texas. Where the lone star is a review.

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.

Elon Musk got community noted on Zelensky.

Our new FBI director. Congrats America!

Today was the worst day in the stock market in 2025.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

As a result, she said, just three full-time employees remain in both the Yellowstone and Bozeman ranger districts to manage 19 rental cabins, 60 bathrooms, 21 campgrounds and other infrastructure spread across 1 million acres. www.bozemandailychronicle.com/townnews/wor...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Musk proves again he’s a terrible human. When Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette, a blind watchdog from the Project on Government Oversight, criticized Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service in Capitol Hill testimony, Musk retaliated with a cruel online attack.
