When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

I'm like imagine if it was a Black dude who doesn't pay taxes and has 11 kids by multiple women, who was stealing our data.

Just gonna leave this here.

Trump and Hegseth are gonna spend an estimated $6 million in taxpayer money just to change the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg because their supporters are angry it was changed from its original Confederate namesake in the first place, though this new Bragg namesake is a different person.

Rep. Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican, accused her former fiancé and three other men of having drugged and raped her and other women, and of filming and taking lewd photographs of women and underage girls without their consent.

Kansas City Fan Profanely Melts Down On Trump For Jinxing Game: Passions run high at the Super Bowl.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

"I didn't understand Kendrick" ...but you listen to Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan with no problems.

🚨BREAKING: In a trio of rulings, North Carolina state court REJECTS Republican effort to overturn the results of the 2024 state Supreme Court election by throwing out 60,000 lawful ballots. A big victory for voting rights and democracy! www.democracydocket.com/cases/north-...

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

Weird. During and before the most recent Trump campaign, a lot of Trump supporters in my orbit whined about "the illegals" on the regular. They're not cheering the deportations, though. **Scratches head**

There's also that part where Trump does everything he can to avoid paying people.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Voucher programs leave out wide swaths of students, especially Black and brown students as well as those living in rural areas with no or limited access to private schools. https://thegrio.com/2025/01/29/trump-calls-for-ending-radical-indoctrination-in-k-12-education-and-prioritizing-school-choice-…

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

"Trump is right there, always comforting: You’re not really mediocre, and even if you are mediocre, it shouldn’t matter. You’re a white man in the greatest country on earth. You’re entitled to all your heart’s desires. I, alone, will make you happy." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-things...

Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy voted against FAA funding in 2019 during his time in Congress. His vote to defund the air safety agency raises questions about his current role overseeing transportation safety.

Donald Trump just signed a thing saying to stop doing the thing that no one is doing, so that totally makes sure there won't be any more plane crashes. Who knew governing was that easy?

This.

Yep.

THIS.

headlines from a week ago as an incident near DCA appears to be the deadliest aviation disaster in the US since 9/11 www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Gwen and I are sending love to those mourning the loss of their loved ones in the tragic accident at DCA last night. I’m grateful to the first responders who rushed to the scene under dangerous conditions. Hold your loved ones a little closer today.

Reporter: I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion that diversity had something to do with this crash? Trump: Because I have common sense and unfortunately a lot of people don’t

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

Blackhawk crashes into a plane over the Potomac? DEI. Wife left you? DEI. Your children hate you? DEI. Gambled away your savings on a Trump crypto coin? DEI.

Absolutely bush league and childish. It’s like listening to a child figure out what happened. Let grown adults work it out first Mr. President then you can send your opinion

Honestly, I'm good with Trump not saying shit. He would be unhelpful AF.

“DEI pilots or DEI air traffic controllers?” commentary from bluechecks was on X within a few minutes of the AA5342 Potomac crash news breaking. The influencers and crowds know the playbook.

A man who is waiting for his wife at Washington D.C.’s Reagan National shows the last text message she sent him before the American Airlines plane crashed into a military helicopter. The texts he sent to her weren’t delivered. Heartbreaking. 🥺

Seems relevant about the hiring freeze Trump implemented that applied to FAA air traffic controllers. democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-r...

A large emergency response has been dispatched to Reagan National Airport for reports of an aircraft crash Video from the Kennedy Center webcam appears to show the collision and crash www.arlnow.com/2025/01/29/b...

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Dems should call for immediate hearings on what caused tonight’s plane crash, including the impact of the removal of FAA safety protocols and personnel.

📌Flown into National countless times replete with the final descent along the Potomac, with the most powerful city in the world port side as a backdrop. I was always so damn glad to be home … Sending love to all the families who are hurting tonight. 🇺🇸

A Black Hawk helicopter crashing into an American Airlines plane on final approach? Accidents like this are VERY unusual… Last week the Trump administration ordered a performance review of all employees in “critical” aviation safety roles, seeking to fire DEI hires 🤔 travelnoire.com/trump-faa-dei

What to do if you think your loved one was on the AA Flight www.kansas.com/news/local/a...

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Under the current Trump Administration, this tragedy of a collision between a commercial aircraft and a military helicopter at Reagan National Airport will further shine a spotlight on the incompetence at the top.

It’s been 16 years since a commercial plane crash in the US. It’s still incredible safe
