Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Why is it that the only people in politics with balls these days seem to be women? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Reminder: The Bronze Bozo's FBI Director, Kash Patel, is the first official in American history to have plead the Fifth and then go on to head up a major law enforcement agency... RIP law and order in the USA...

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

No one should be surprised. But it’s still appalling.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

You just have to wonder why trump is so eager to damage military readiness, cyber security in particular. It’s almost like there is a goal in gutting cyber security while simultaneously gutting the ability to propeller against foreign election interference. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/19/p...

It's Trump's fourth week on the job and he's already taking a week-long vacation in Florida. Tell me more about how nobody gets anything done when they work from home.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Ukraine fights for freedom. If you don’t or can’t side with Ukraine, I don’t know what you stand for, but it certainly isn’t freedom.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Where did that come from! 😂

REPORTER: There was a big wave of probationary federal workers fired over the weekend. Some of these workers who focus on nuclear weapons security were immediately rehired. Do you have any concerns about how these terminatio--? TRUMP: No. Not at all. I think we have to just do what we have to do.

Wyden: "Nobody should lose sight of what happened this morning. Trump endorsed the House budget resolution. This resolution mandates that $880b in cuts come from the House Energy & Commerce Committee ... there is no plausible way to hit that target without hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid."

Katie Britt: "Oversight is back" (In fact, one of the first things Trump did upon returning to the White House was fire inspectors general)

"This is in violation of a presidential executive order. It needs to stop" -- Elon Musk, on Hannity's show, makes clear he has no idea how the American government works by asserting that Trump can use executive orders to unilaterally impound funds appropriated by Congress

“For his part, Musk claims that he purchased Trump outright by spending nearly $300 million on his 2024 campaign.” - @borowitzreport.bsky.social
