The 'find out' phase is here.

I loved this! Thanks Gov. Mills !

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

This is what a personalist presidency looks like: "Investigation follows President Trump's remarks at the Republican GOvernor's Association dinner...that Maine risks losing federal funds."

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

Every time one of these fascist f*cks does the 'sieg heil' — and this time it was Steve Bannon — (which I won't show as I've seen enough of that crap) — legacy media is 'Bannon appears to do a Nazi gesture.' There's nothing ambiguous about a Nazi salute. Nothing. Goddam cowards.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

NEW: U.S. consumer sentiment plunges—down 10% from January over tariff and inflation fears. Most people I know think the economy is cooked thanks to Trump’s policies—designed to help the rich and screw working folks. He’s not doing shit to fix the economy or lower costs. Just broken promises.

How long until they realize FAFO

@senjoniernst.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com @govpritzker.illinois.gov And the #Markets are already skeptical and cautious for the coming economic crash. It will come, you can't keep firing people, drive up the unemployment rate and expect our economy to keep growing. It's insane @maddow.msnbc.com

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

I'm sure he's wearing blackout shades for normal reasons.

It’s disgraceful that Elon Musk has terminated a critical FDNY grant aimed at studying diseases in the brave firefighters who faced the horrors of 9/11. DOGE’s shameful claim that this research is ‘non-essential’ is an affront to every hero who risked their life that day.

This makes so much sense

Today will be remembered Feb. 20 2025 as the day Trump surrendered OUR allies to Putin.

I believe Mitch McConnell blocking hearings for Merrick Garland was the moment that broke America. Since he violated that social contract and got away with it, the right has rampaged.

Thanks to #MoscowMitch and the rest of the coward in the US Senate.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Thank you president Macron !! #Macron #Ukraine #Zelensky

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Isn't Trump promising Putin that American business will "Invest " in Russia? If they do, Putin will be in charge of that business and rob any profits.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
