Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

THIS! 👏🏼

Let's say their names: * General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: FIRED FOR BEING BLACK * Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Chief of Naval Operations: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE * Admiral Linda Fagan, Coast Guard Commandant: FIRED FOR BEING FEMALE All replaced by less qualified white guys.

Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

Hit them in their Money Belt,it's the Achilles Heel of all these Greedy Bastards.No MO Money,no MO Power

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

is this where I point out Jim Jones’ late stage habit of always wearing sunglasses

🚨 NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went to California for a photo op against a state-federal high-speed rail project. Instead, he was drowned out by boos as crowds rallied for the project. Maybe he should focus on keeping planes in the sky instead of staging stunts for the Dear Leader.

There has been such little engagement, among Senate Republicans, with questions surrounding the fact that Elon Musk’s rampage is stomping all over Congress’ authority to fund the federal gov't that the driest cough in the direction of disagreement with DOGE operations feels notable.

You know, between this, the dark glasses and the weird answers, I'd say it's time to mark Tesla stock as a "SELL NOW." Not everyone can sell their cars for financial reasons. But with stock, you can find something to replace TESLA.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has invited Elon Musk to testify at an informal hearing on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau next week. "Musk has said that he is trying to kill the agency — he should have the courage to show up in public and answer questions." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Omg. I can't even ... 🥺💔 www.npca.org/articles/691...

A Government is NOT the same as a Business and doesn’t serve the same function.

Now is the time for our citizenry to fight for our federal workers and national programs. Let’s stand up to the power-mad autocrats, plutocrats and theocrats attacking democracy—at home and abroad. I spoke with @briantylercohen.bsky.social about our historic assignment today.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

47 can't keep the lies straight.

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"

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

As detailed in Proof of Destruction—see below—the claims that America has sent hundreds of billions to Ukraine and that half of what America sent is missing were laundered by the Kremlin and the FSB through Tucker Carlson, who Canada calls a Kremlin agent. The actual figures: $56 billion and <2%.

Congresswoman Crockett has a point @jasmineforus.bsky.social

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Quinnipac is not the only poll indicating that the disapproval is growing for 47.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Ok Gavin. Your turn. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social No kings.

We can no longer rely on the federal government.

This is the best advice I've seen so far.

Well done, Mr. Kols. That last line, though. 😂

So Now Mike Pence woke up! Only 3 years late! Your history is already written!

Wyden: "Nobody should lose sight of what happened this morning. Trump endorsed the House budget resolution. This resolution mandates that $880b in cuts come from the House Energy & Commerce Committee ... there is no plausible way to hit that target without hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid."
