Courage Has A Name - šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ Please shareā€¦ šŸ”

šŸ“ŒOur Park Service Rangers have flagged the warning on El Capitan. We are under threat by an America-attacking felon.

We donā€™t DO kings here. youtube.com/shorts/wRVbZ...

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy donā€™t expire. This was never about ā€œefficacy.ā€

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump revels in mass federal firings and jeers at Biden before adoring conservative crowd: He is mentally ill, and multiple psychiatrists and psychologists have gone public with that assessment.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

KEEP PUSHING! If they wonā€™t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I canā€™t wait to see these old, fat fuck Trumperā€™s around me locallyā€¦.having to get up on a ladder in the June heatā€¦and and roof their own housesā€¦because the migrants are either gone, or too afraid to work and get caught. Iā€™ll honk, wave, and say, ā€œDamn! It sure is hot today, eh?!

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

The Democrats are leading the court battles against Trump, which they're largely winning. The Democrats are leading rallies, holding the Senate floor, and other forms of protest. I'm tired of hearing "Why won't the Democrats do something?" They ARE. Stop griping. Get on board.

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, heā€™s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesnā€™t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

European leaders were hopeful they could work with the Trump administration on the Ukraine war and other issues. But comments last week by several U.S. officials have poured cold water on such hopes.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is ā€” and always has been ā€” about controlling womenā€™s bodies. Iā€™m fighting back.

@sanders.senate.gov: "Focus on the needs of working people... Healthcare system is broken, childcare system is broken, housing crisis of enormous consequence, climate change is threatening the entire planet... Stay focused on what is important to working people, expose the hypocrisy of Trump."

Donā€™t you just love how the people who wanted school open during the pandemic think we donā€™t need a Department of Education?

This is what happens when a climate change denier runs the country!!

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the worldā€™s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone.

The University of Minnesota leads the way in medical research: 700 NIH-funded projects, including advancing organ transplants, cancer treatments, and Parkinsonā€™s therapies are now at risk. Cutting NIH funding threatens life-saving research and the future of medical innovation.

āš”ļø'No point trying to negotiate' with Putin, Yulia Navalnaya says. "Even if you decided to negotiate with Putin, just remember he will lie," Navalnaya, widow of late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, said at the Munich Security Conference two days before the anniversary of her husband's death.

I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

This is your daily reminder that it's a coup.

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans. I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

It's day 22 and he still doesn't have a plan to lower your prices.

Donā€™t worry - the cost of a dozen eggs is up 700% since last year. The price of gas is going back up. And Trumpā€™s tariffs on steel and aluminum will drive inflation upwards while making cars and homes much more expensive. But hey, at least the plastic straws we never lost are ā€œbackā€ right?!?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Wasnā€™t it just a week ago that we were supposed to get a 30-day pause? And now, suddenly, heā€™s focused on steel and aluminum imports? No one in Canada is surprised. Did anyone actually believe this guy? That his word meant anything? Heā€™s a criminal.

No one gave Elon Musk a ā€œmandateā€ of any fucking kind. None of you voted for him to do any of the shit heā€™s doing and you damn well know it too. So knock it the fuck off.

BREAKING NEWS: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker sets off alarm bells that prices of tomatoes are starting to skyrocket because of the potential Trump tariffs on Mexico. Every MAGA voter should see what they voted for:

Dear media, No, Trump isnā€™t ā€œsignalingā€ that he ā€œmightā€ ignore the courts. He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts. The end. Do your damn job.

Nobody voted to let Elon Musk cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

I had to check for myself. Yep. Google Maps changed the name to Gulf of America. But eggs? We live in the stupidest timeline ever!

So happy to see @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , such a wise brilliant kind soul.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Where is DOGE on this expense?
