The USIP is a non-profit that does work exposing threats posed by China to neighboring countries like Taiwan and many others. The Chinese Communist Party is a major business partner of Elon Musk. They have information the CCP would like to have. This is not good.

This was always the math - it didn’t need a CBO scoring for people to realize this, but hopefully now they’ll wake up. The GOP is going after Medicaid and Medicare to give their rich friends a tax cut. Full stop.

In today’s hellscape news, the Trump administration is planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA is already short-staffed and wait times are abhorrent. Veterans will die because of this move.

A bunch of Trump’s most influential advisors are advocating for the US to leave NATO and the UN. Short-sighted, reactionary morons. You should really ask yourselves why anyone that has the US interests at heart would want us to leave the most powerful alliance in history.

This is a travesty. They’re going to conjure up phony numbers to try and hide the fact that they are exploding the deficit with massive corporate tax cuts and tax cuts for the top earners. Tariff projections and Trump Gold Cards pay for everything! A complete fraud.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts. NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities. Stop giving kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing access to this shit.

Turner is one of the most pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin Republicans and as intelligence chair has access to the gritty details of what our adversaries are up to. This is an intra-party purge in the service of opponents of our democracy — and a preview of what’s coming when Trump takes power in five days.
