New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

ICE Prosecutor Runs White Supremacist Account in His Free Time Who could have guessed? newrepublic.com/post/191780/...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

The Moscow Institute of Computer Science has "caught fire", I felt a great disturbance in the algorithm, as if millions of bots suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Back to 1875 we go.

Here is a list of companies supporting Project 2025. Keep this list moving. You know what NOT to do.

They are going to interrogate federal law enforcement officers and employees with polygraph tests to try to find out if they are talking to the press.

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

CARVILLE: “More deficit accumulated under Trump than any president… Trump’s approval rating lowest at this point in his presidency ever… GOP supports Putin, wants to get rid of Medicaid & Medicare…” James Carville exposed Hannity’s audience to some facts 👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUcU1c...

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I assume at some point we are going to get to see actual hard proof submitted in a sworn affidavit, grand jury indictment, congressional testimony, etc that millions of people are defrauding trillions from Social Security? Or is it just going to be social media posts & TV hits?

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

Interesting read - 'Conspiracists are about to get a dose of reality' www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

Chris Kluwe. Protect him.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

I don’t often feel rage. That said, I’ve been getting pretty damn close, watching one of the few truly warrior like heroes in the world of leadership…Zelensky…being rat fucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet.

Cowards every republican, cowards.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

😂😂😂😂

Politicians can become President.

@starkkatch13.bsky.social

Are we being played?

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

This is also what she voted for

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
