Normally, if bad actors hijacked our government systems with an intent on crippling them, which would directly bring harm to American citizens, we’d be pretty comfortable labeling that as terrorism. But right-wing billionaires have you believing that it’s called “patriotism.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The top 1% evades $163 billion in taxes each year and many Fortune 500 companies pay an effective tax rate of 0%. President Musk is cutting 6000, mostly enforcement, jobs at the IRS because he feels the rich aren’t exploiting the system enough. Grift.

Trump claims he's working to reduce federal spending, including by indiscriminately canceling govt contracts. Over the last decade, Musk's companies SpaceX and Tesla were awarded at least $18 billion in federal contracts abcnews.go.com/US/musk-work...

A simple chart to explain why Elon Musk spent $290 million to buy the election for Trump so he could take control of the government. It's not about cutting waste. It's about killing investigations.

I'm not saying this is a coup. But if you were going to do a coup, how would things look different from recent events -- seizing the federal payments system, federal purging law enforcement, threatening to sic armed US Marshals on civil servants guarding classified data

Our aid programs around the world are an important part of our soft power. Creating a vacuum in these spaces simply opens a path for our adversaries, who are already expanding influence in these regions, to step in. It is so short-sighted and dumb. And of course cruel, but that’s a given

Trump deliberately plunged the FAA into chaos as soon as he took office. Musk pushed out the FAA Administrator so the agency was leaderless, Trump fired the entire safety advisory board. He bullied staff to accept buyouts. Not a surprise the tower was “not normal”.

One of the billionaires the president appointed to his cabinet is wrestling tycoon Linda McMahon. She gave Trump millions and was rewarded with a seat in his Corrupt Cabinet that she's not qualified for. Now, she's been tasked with abolishing the Department of Education.

Its not a gaffe. It's back to back, clear as day Nazi salutes. And how does this not make sense? Did we not just watch the campaign Trump ran? Have we all not seen the antisemitism in MAGA? Feels like this is all we should be talking about tomorrow.

Pardoning violent thugs who attacked the US Capitol and assaulted cops to subvert an American election is quite fascistic. No rule of law. No law and order. All that matters is following the Dear Leader, who incited violence with lies. This is a violation of his oath to protect the Constitution.

Principle died a long time ago in Washington, but the GOP pushing to extend the debt ceiling for two years to allow the passage of tax cuts the CBO estimates will add $4.6 trillion to the deficit after spending the last four years lambasting democrats for deficit spending is next level hypocrisy.

A President who has immunity from being prosecuted for obstruction of justice and an FBI Director willing to do his bidding (and who would also be immune or pardoned) have zero disincentives to destroy evidence and even entire case files. Then history will be rewritten. Preserve it now ⬇️
