In Tennessee over the weekend, an angry town hall before Representative Diana Harshbarger screamed, “No!” when the Republican lawmaker asked if there had been a “mandate to the president from the American people,” who she claimed “overwhelmingly” voted Trump in.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Even if you take DOGE's savings claims so far at face value, its moves to cancel contracts, end leases and push federal agencies to reduce head count barely dent the government's balance sheet.

(1/X) Terrible jobs report, stock market is way down, and predictions of negative GDP as a Trump threatens tariffs. Hate to keep going here but what if it happened under a Democratic president, say one that was seen as hostile to business like say...Bernie Sanders.

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Trying to explain this story as if one is speaking to a small child. Members of congress, whose job it is to set federal spending, now get to call Elon, who is for some reason controlling federal spending, to plead for changes to federal spending????? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it. Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

The GOP keeps calling itself as a working-class party. But their budget plan calls for huge tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and slashing programs that help the working-class. Don't fall for their rebrand.

Tucker Carlson claims that Ukraine has been selling "huge quantities of American weapons on the black market", which he says have been bought by Hamas, Mexican drug cartels and the HTS in Syria. This is a claim pushed by the Kremlin for nearly three years, but there's no evidence for it.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

The SAVE Act is unnecessary as it is already quite illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. So the law, which won’t help solve an already nearly nonexistent problem, makes very little sense—unless, of course, disenfranchising millions of women is the point.

Grovel. The word you're looking for is grovel. When you come before Trump, it's not as an equal, it's as a peasant, a serf, a prole, hat in hand, touching your forelock, and you grovel and kiss his ass and tell him how great he is, or you are guilty of criminal disrespect against the State. 1/
