BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

💔😔

Many caveats here. I don't understand much of this myself. I'm only trying to learn—not come to conclusions. I post this only to ask if anyone with relevant expertise has seen this video—and its many charts—and finds it compelling. (Do ignore the splashy title—this is a dry and sober assessment.)

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Does anyone have any information on whether or not the economic blackout impacted anything?

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

The Trump administration is demanding the home addresses of 700,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally from the IRS. The IRS is resisting this request, as complying would directly violate federal tax privacy laws.

Now!!!!

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

I agree, 100%.

Yeah, I wonder. 🤔

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

It’s an easy way to send a powerful message. Consume less, shop small, and support businesses who support our communities. Do this as much as you can, not just today. 50 Protests. 50 States. 1 Movement. Join us: www.FiftyFifty.one. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne @polrev.bsky.social

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

💯

🤔🤔🤔

There are a lot of people on here smugly telling people that protests don't work, that boycotts are pointless. These people are part of the problem, not the solution. Taking action, even at the most base level, as opposed to only calling reps, or posting, is a highly effective form of engagement.

Me too !!!!!!! #NotMyPresident

The problem with trying to ride a tiger, is you eventually come to realize there is no safe way to get off the tiger

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Breaking: Jasmine Crockett - ''We may be heading towards the next World War because we have a President that wants to pal around with Putin, and lying about who invaded who.''

In London...

‘Go Woke, Go Broke’? More Like ‘Go Trump, Go Bankrupt’ Trump fired the Kennedy Center leadership, packed the board with loyalists, and claimed he was “saving” the institution. Now? Ticket sales down 50%, artists canceling, patrons boycotting. Turns out, MAGA loyalty doesn’t sell tickets.

He nails it.

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.
