NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

POLITICO: Trump ā€œsurprised his own staffā€ by endorsing a budget that cuts Medicaid, now open to ā€œalteringā€ (CUTTING) Medicare ā€” Just as many warned all along. While cutting trillions in taxes for the rich. Because they donā€™t actually care about the debt. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

* IT'S A COUP * Iā€™m repeating it, because illegal power seizure isnā€™t just another story to be swept away in a deluge of other stories. Itā€™s the foundational framing to understanding everything... This week, I went to market, bought a coup & realignment of the world order @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Martinā€™s trip, which begins Monday, will bring him to key swing states including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the blue state of Illinois and two red states, Texas and Missouri, according to details of the trip shared with NBC News www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

ā€œOver 1000 workers dismissed at the Department of Veterans Affairsā€¦ā€ abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

A huge chunk of these cuts would be to Medicaid, hurting the poorest of the poor. Many red state / MAGA voters depend entirely on this money. The messaging begins NOW to let them know that Trump and the GOP are coming for their healthcare.

Top tip. Donā€™t have insomnia in the middle of a coup. An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments. Itā€™s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk ā€˜team leadā€™ will now make all hiring decisions according to a ā€˜data-drivenā€™ model

@justsecurity.org is tracking the legal challenges to the Trump administrationā€™s illegal, unconstitutional attacks. Check it out to learn more!

New jobs report one of the worst since COVID - 143,000 jobs created. So far under Trump: - GDP growth has slowed - Job growth has slowed - Inflation has risen - Destructive tariffs loom - Fed did not cut interest rates - GOP econ plans will explode the deficit

I don't this story has registered with enough people. OPM is trying to make it possible for Musk to control the IT of every federal agency and department. I assume that would give him access--backdoor access?--to...everything. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

šŸšØBREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The worldā€™s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Hey Pennsylvania! Please reach out to Govenor Shapiro re:Musks Data Breach Theft/Privacy Laws and the slashing of our Federal Employees!

Um,who is paying attention to Musk taking complete control of OPM,the Treasury and more- Hello??

Rs plan to completely nuke the government at 5pm today. Home closures, construction projects, fema relief, food assistance, research that might save your life, and so much more just shut down. Itā€™s not the type of thing you do when you care about popular will anymore.

Hold the fuck on ā€” Donald Trump spent 4 years saying ā€œinfrastructure weekā€ was coming and it never came, and then Joe Biden actually got it done, and then Trump got back into office and immediately paused spending onā€¦ wait for itā€¦ INFRASTRUCTURE! Are you fucking kidding me?!

1/ Buried in Trump's flurry of Executive Orders is a line that halts funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. That means withholding funds for projects like the I-10 expansion, investments in Sky Harbor and Mesa Gateway Airports and upgrades to our water infrastructure.

The new website is already up. They've even got a section where you can send her a note, so I sent her a note saying how proud I am/we are to support her. kamalaharris.com

Epic courage here.

Just signed executive order: immediate White House council giving top-secret security clearance to anyone that they want for six months who will have access to all top secret national security without undergoing traditional vetting & clearances! This is treason and he is a Russian spy!

Um. What did I just watch?

January 30, 2024: I posted the longer version of this video on TikTok. It was instantly bannedā€”I should have known then. šŸ§µ

What a weekend. Before he's even inaugurated, President-elect Donald Trump has all the major tech platforms under his thumb. ā€¢ Musk a MAGA henchman ā€¢ Zuckerberg, Bezos vassels ā€¢ Google in DOJ antitrust cross hairs ā€¢ TikTok regards Trump as savior

Hmmm. Couldn't afford eggs?šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Can you and your family afford to lose your healthcare? House Republicans are planning to cut $3 TRILLION from vital healthcare programs to pay for HUGE TAX CUTS for the wealthy and big corporations. If these cuts are enacted, millions of Americans will lose access to affordable healthcare.

UPDATE # 28,998: MAGA is pissed about the inauguration ceremony being moved indoors. This chud spent $5,000 to come to DC for it but canā€™t afford eggsšŸ„“šŸæšŸæšŸæ
