Trump and Vance: Russian sellouts.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are rapidly turning the U.S. into one of those shit-hole countries that they like to complain about. They're all traitors.

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"

This!

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

@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."

Trump probably thinks he pulled a fast one on Calif.

The world’s richest man — who was not born in America — has seized complete & total control of the presidency — and all your money: credit, stocks, bonds, cash — all of it. And he doesn’t pay for eggs nor gas. Thanks, maga.

A Republican congressman just introduced a bill to abolish OSHA and get rid of federal safety protections for workers. Remind me— wasn’t it Republicans who claimed that they were the party of the working class?

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

She's not wrong.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Pretty damn spot-on, don’t you think?

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

MAGA Rich dumb shit.

😂

In 2022 UK PM Liz Truss created economic chaos and was ejected less than 2 months after trying to do what Trump says he will do on Day One. But I suspect the lesson is well beyond Trump's 6th grade comprehension. 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhvu...

If you don’t think this is exactly what we’re up against, then you haven’t been paying attention.

While they’re at it they should ban psychology and psychiatry lest anyone find out they voted for a narcissistic psychopath

MAGA keeps saying the war in Ukraine needs to end, and I agree, but I never hear them say the easiest way for it to end - which is Putin stopping his war of aggression, which he can easily do anytime he wants. No, according to them, the US and Ukraine is to blame for the war.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

"Yes she is corrupt but she isn't Matt Gaetz" is the strongest endorsement I've heard so far for Pam Bondi's AG nomination.

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”. Idiots.

It will never stop being utterly insane to me that Trump fans rioted, shat in the Capitol, smashed windows, battered police and terrorized people nationwide when he was fired by 80 million voters for condemning 1 million to die of COVID then 73 million rehired him and they demand we "come together."

Typical chicken shit stuff from the amoral phonies.

Someone should introduce a resolution banning fake boobs from Capitol restrooms

Not only ugly but Leon Musk is behind it.

WTF? This is hilarious.

Happens every time.😉

Trump is acting like some of these Black applicants for Cabinet appointments are trying to rent an apartment from him or something.
