3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social please follow all Democrats and find out what they’re doing instead of going on MSNBC and saying they’re doing nothing We need to stop with the circular firing squad. There are some incredible things happening I know because I post about them daily. 1/2

Oh my god. Oh my god. This is MY Super Bowl!

36,000 PEOPLE SHOWED UP!

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

A very, very good question.

Trump opens all 18 of California's national forests for timber production. What a monster! www.latimes.com/environment/...

15,000 people have gathered in downtown L.A. for the latest stop on the Fighting Oligarchy Tour featuring Bernie Sanders and AOC!! This event is part of what Sen. Sanders calls his efforts to have real discussions on how we move forward "to take on the oligarchs and corporate interests who have…

This country first began because of a revolution. I’m just sayin’.

Do we need to boycott Apple iPhone? Their shitty algo driven news feed is not covering the 36,000 people at the Bernie AOC rally in LA I guess Tim Cook bent the knee

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

Ask yourself if you have as much bravery as elementary school kids in this moment.

Can I make a suggestion for his wake without upsetting anyone

Trump just totally ignored Cheryl Hines at UFC 🤣….love this for her!

Share this all over the place. Tesla's valuation is based 95% on vibes. Change the vibes, change the valuation. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...

A Tesla owner from UK donated their Tesla Model S to a group called (Everyone Hates Elon) This way they all get too smash the NAZI car for charity. In turn this event has raised money for the local food banks in London.

We need to encourage businesses to show the Trump Tariff Tax on their receipts and invoices. 👇

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits on Vladimir Solovyov's show took turns mocking Trump. They applauded the damage he is doing to the U.S. and the world order and urged him to keep going for as long as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCX9...

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

Democratic House Rep. Jason Crow: "If you don’t have the courage to stand up and fight for the people you represent—you don’t belong in office." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Couldn't have said it better myself, Rachel! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

This is Trump declaring that he does not believe he has to obey the orders of a federal district court judge.
