Amanda Zurawski, one of the Texas women who nearly died due to the states abortion ban, has been named one of Time’s Women of the Year.

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

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

"I only know perfection"

More of this energy everywhere please!

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

Publicly abandoning American and Ukranian democracy on the same day.

FUCKED UP: Trump now refers to himself as “the king” Time to impeach & convict!!!

Trump calls himself “THE KING”

A third of Mexico is run by drug cartels. America will be run by billionaire lords, rather than drug lords. A shit-hole country MAGA has made us become.

Republican senators find themselves in an unusual position these days: begging Trump officials to release funds they themselves appropriated.

Hey Republicans who “love” fake agency DOGE:

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Ok that made me laugh

Did a single White House press person bother to point out to Trump that Zelenskyy didn't start this war when he claimed they never should've started it? I'm going to assume not, because I can't remember the last time they didn't disappoint. The stuff he's saying about Ukraine is highly offensive.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Another career federal official has resigned after refusing to give DOGE access to sensitive data.
