I would rather have air traffic controllers, Park Rangers, Cancer Research and Social Security than a $5000 check from DOGE

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Eagles decline another invitation to the White House…Love this Ownership, Organization AND THIS TEAM LETS GO BIRDS

This is just awful. I’m trying to be patient but holy shit Democrats, what are you even doing? I got a fundraiser today from the DGA about how PBS is under attack. Are you fucking kidding me? Fire all of the consultants you have. Start over. DM me.

The US government is now nonstop performative idiocracy.

Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real. Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this. Not complaining, just surprising.

“In some ways that’s even more chilling than firing the four stars,” Rosa Brooks, a professor at Georgetown Law. “It’s what you do when you’re planning to break the law: you get rid of any lawyers who might try to slow you down.” By NYT Greg Jaffe www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Man, people will soon be begging for the days when we had egg, food inspectors, and free transgender.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

When did we conflate the art of threatening with making a deal?

been thinking a lot about this quote lately “There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said -- no. But somehow we missed it.” ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

The MAGA CPAC crowd have *one* skill that I wish I had: They have an amazing ability to listen to the same stories >100 times, and act like they've never heard them before. I wish I had that skill when my 98 y.o. Grandmother was still alive. Would've made both our lives easier

This is horrible for the future of American science and innovation and economic wellbeing and all the things Pitt is not a small institution It has nearly 10K grad students It is where Salk discovered the polio vaccine

another Nazi salute at CPAC

$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.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I don't think I've ever prayed for a Pope, but I'm praying for this one because (while I'm not Catholic) I think he may be the best we're going to see for a while to come. 🙏

Amen to that.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

He nails it.

Leaders of the Social Security Administration had just opened an investigation into a career employee they believed was improperly sharing information with DOGE when Trump elevated the employee this week to acting commissioner www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Rep. Burlison: "We don't wanna touch Social Security or the benefits for Medicare for people who truly need it, but I don't think that anyone would question whether we should audit and determine voter-- or, eligibility, for example."

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

I can only imagine that whoever's hand that is lives near me because these are all my native backyard birdies! 💕 🐦

“As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110,” ... “There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher. And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo. There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.”

Trump and Trumpism summed up in a single statement.

Not very transparent www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Likely US House of Rep cuts to just Medicaid ($880 billion) and SNAP food benefits ($230 billion) alone could total $1.1 trillion. Oddly, this turns out to be the exact number that trump & congressional magas want to hand to the richest 1% in a renewal and expansion of their 2017 tax scam...

The rate of descent into lawlessness in the United States continues to accelerate. Until that descent is arrested, and we can assess what institutions still hold, the country and its citizens are fundmantally unsafe.

This. So. Much. 👇

I am no stock market expert, but this does not look good. The last 30-days of the DOW.

"Wrongful spending" -- since DOGE hasn't produced any actual evidence of fraud, Hannity has made up a new term to gaslight his audience
