Elon claims trillions in social security went to dead people but instead of holding hearings on that today and having him and DOGE testify under oath, Republicans are filing bills to put Trump’s face on Mt. Rushmore & make his birthday a holiday. DON’T THEY CARE ABOUT OUR MONEY!

It’s becoming very clear that the Trump Admin never had any interest in serving as an honest broker to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The plan was always to join Russia and others in plundering the Ukrainian economy like a 17th century colonizer.

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

He met with the Russian Foreign Minister so they could talk about how they could divide Ukraine between them. That isn’t leadership. Trump promised he PERSONALLY would meet with Putin & Z and have a deal 24 hours after taking office. The world laughs at these stupid statements.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

CDC staffers, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, speak of the increasing chaos upending their work since Trump's return. “We can’t do the science and the public health work because we’re so consumed with responding to the executive orders."

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

DO NOT QUIT! I started my journey with Being Liberal 15 years ago - just around the fight we lost while campaigning against Citizens United... since then we had our victories and our defeats. I didn't quit then and I am not planning to quit now.

An incredibly important exchange here for more reasons than one. It’s worth it to note: this DOJ lawyer, Jason Lynch, is tanking his credibility in defense of an insidious, pretextual, and asinine Trump Administration policy. This kind of stuff will forever haunt you professionally.

In case you’re not familiar, Molotov-Ribbentrop was a Russian-German agreement to split control of Eastern Europe between each. It lasted a little over a year before Hitler got antsy and decided he needed the whole game board. The WW parallels keep coming fast & furious, folks.

Stalin used the pact to buy time to build up the Soviet military. Hitler used the pact to invade Poland without opposition. Rubio can fuck off.

Every Democrat in the Senate voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. It was 99-0. Rubio is now supporting Trump’s plans to abandon Ukraine and impose ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Did Senate Democrats think if they played nice, Republicans would play nice back? What madness.

A quote today from the great Julia Davis. If Europe hasn’t figured out that Trump is bringing our 80-year collective security friendship, which has served us all well, to an abrupt and catastrophic end, you know it today. You are on your own. Act accordingly.

Musk claims he discovered that millions of dead people have been paid trillions of dollars in social security money, but Mike Johnson had the House take the week off instead of investigating this extremely serious allegation. If this is true, why are House Rs taking a week off?

If you’ve been directly impacted by the Trump purge of government workers or his Executive Orders, please DM me. I’d like to highlight your story and also see if there are folks in your community that can provide help, if you’re in need. We’ve got to take care of each other.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
