Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

THIS is the version of the ‘farmer who’s about to lose his farm’ testimonial that you need to see. Here’s the thing—I don’t care if they admit they were wrong. We already know they were. But they do need to admit they were lied to—by Donald Trump. Call him out by name!

It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests! Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding. House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

If Elon Musk did in the private sector what he's doing in the public sector, he would face a multi-BILLION dollar class action lawsuit for illegal breaches of data privacy and transparency.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

It's a war on disabled people; children, adults,and veterans. This is a most shameful time in our country's history. I have a big heart, but I can't help but wish that the politicians pushing these changes feel bitter repercussions.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

"I like beer" & "I was a heroin addict for 14 years" are statements only mediocre white cishet males can utter in a confirmation hearing and not have the whole thing just come to a screeching halt right there. But Obama's tan suit though... and Michelle showed her shoulders that one time!

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
