Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

"American Landfill" 2016 A few more heads need to be added to bring it up to date.

Lutnick is what's wrong! Yes, he is a what, not a who, because no decent human being would slash Social Security or any social safety net in order to give billionaires a 4 trillion dollars tax cut!!

Over 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid for life-saving healthcare. That’s 72 million people—children, seniors, people with disabilities—who would suffer without it. Don’t cut my Medicaid.

There’s something happening in this country.

with MeidasTouch becoming the most downloaded podcast in the country at the moment - it would be good to reach out to them and tell them to advertise the upcoming Economic Blackout Day on Feb 28th and the Women's March on March 8th to their huge audience.

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you.   Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾    He doesn't care about you!

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

fucking incompetents and/or malicious... they own every repeat offender who commits police misconduct www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.

Appearing today in The Week:

The Tombstone for the Grave of Democracy will read: "At least the Democrats Followed the Rules."

Just tell them you were being metaphorical, like when the J6-ers chanted HANG MIKE PENCE and were pardoned by Trump.

This is truth: America wasn't born to crown new kings, but to dethrone them

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

“The widespread adoption of vouchers, Cowen explains, was a policy coup staged by billionaires who were libertarians or religious zealots or both.” Yet vouchers don’t work. So honored by The Privateers review from the great @dianeravitch.bsky.social @nybooks.com www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Basically the entire legislative strategy behind school voucher accountability since 2020

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

BREAKING: The Trump administration has announced that it will kill Medicare coverage of most telehealth services on April 1st.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Why am I "entitled" to get social security? Because I've been paying into it every working day of my life.

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

“They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,” a former member of Trump’s first administration tells me. bsky.app/profile/desi...

This is what I was talking about last week.
