Trump promises to ethnically cleanse Gaza via forced relocation, militarily occupy it, raze it to the ground, then rebuild what he calls the Riviera of the Middle East, likely w/ some tacky Trump Hotels. Shocking? | "Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’"

The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people. The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge. Guess what happened next...

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The experts, lawyers, and scholars who I’ve been speaking with since last night agree with me that it’s a coup and that this a 5-alarm fire.

Russia, China, North Korea, Iran — all of our enemies are absolutely delighted.

THIS PLANE CRASH IS 100% TRUMP'S FAULT AND HERE IS WHY.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

America is less safe in every way you look at it because Trump is in power. We are going to see more air crashes, more car crashes, more fatalities overall from just living our lives in the way we have up until now because these people are gutting the country like a fish in order to destroy it.

So far this year, Fetterman has: voted for the Laken Riley Act, voted to confirm Noem and Duffy and Zeldin and Rubio, voted to advance the bill weakening the ICC, and more. h/t @jonathancohn.bsky.social. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Back on OA 1085, we discussed ways President Biden could save lives ahead of the Trump presidency and we wanted to mobilize you, our community, to demand this action via our petition below. It's time we let our voices be heard off the air. Every signature counts: www.change.org/p/joe-biden-...

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

Next year we (2 people) will pay $12,461.28 for health "insurance," and this amount means my insurer will pay for the bare legal minimum of preventive care; anything else we need we will pay out of pocket, until I have paid an additional $8000 for me or $16,000 for the family.

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

Reading the pardon coverage...I don't think the significance of the Gaetz/Patel/Bondi nominations has sunk in. People still aren't getting what a politicized DOJ and FBI, with the power to arrest/bug/harass anyone for any reason, would be able to do.

My main thought about the Hunter pardon is that Kash Patel is being nominated to head the FBI.

The problem isn’t government waste. The problem is that billionaires don’t pay taxes.

Wonder why the rule of law is failing? Here are six reasons . . . the rot at the top. This is what happens when we allow government officials to operate in an ethics-free zone with zero accountability.

When businesses talk about ending government “overreach” they’re usually talking about screwing their customers over

To the foreign countries like Canada and Portugal spamming my feed with information about applying for visas: well played my friends. Well played.
