JUST IN: A judge has enjoined President Trump's effort to block federal funds from going toward grant recipients who engage in DEI practices. The judge says the orgs are likely to succeed on claims that this is viewpoint discrimination, among other issues storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

FUN FACT: Consumer sentiment has already declined by nearly 10% in the one month since Trump took office.

This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

The nepo baby who only *succeeded* because his father gave him $400,000,00o+ to conpensnate for his failed businesses.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are on a rampage with a very specific purpose: To weaken our government's ability to fight oligarchy and autocracy. WATCH:

DOGE technologists Edward Coristine—the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls”—and Kyle Schutt are now listed as staff at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us — Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens — must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

Elon: "I want to knock you up again." The world: 🤮🤮🤮

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“We rely on public employees every day, usually not noticing how they” improve our lives, Donald Moynihan writes. “The costs of dismantling agencies … and demeaning the idea of public service will still be counted long after Trump has departed the scene.”

Republicans have proposed cutting the healthcare of 72 million Americans by as much as $880 BILLION Why Because they want to give more tax cuts to the ultra wealthy Think of it They’re willing to let people die So they can give their rich friends-like Elon-tax breaks Don’t Cut My Medicaid

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

WATCH: “So far DOGE has saved enough to buy each of us 3 cups of coffee.” Economist Justin Wolfers on the *DOGE DIVIDEND* It’s all a trick. Their goal is tax cuts for the rich. And they never cared about the debt.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

This is the kind of callous assholery that makes my blood boil. That it comes courtesy of a chain gang of inept DOGEbags makes it even more infuriating. www.wired.com/story/lenaca...

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

Nonprofits that target online extremism and authoritarian propaganda are slashing operations and laying off employees after DOGE’s cost-cutting push halted vital US support.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists
