At today's cabinet meeting Trump repeated the lie that the US had given Ukraine “$350B,” about double the actual amount of US aid. He also wrongly said the US gave “$200B more than Europe.” Europe outpaces the U.S., not the other way around. 1/3 See more lies here👇🏼 www.factcheck.org/2025/02/trum...

I've come to realize that for Trump supporters, the Constitution and the Bible are simply instruments to beat their opponents with when the time is convenient. They have read neither. And even if they had, they would cherry pick the items that are convenient depending on the argument of the moment.

People’s reactions to these stories tend to be of the leopards-eating-faces variety but this is a great piece of reporting in part about how voters very disconnected from politics make their choices. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I absolutely support free markets and personal liberties. But unless support for these principles recognizes the intersections, complications, and nuances between the market and the individual, it’s merely a disguised support for suppression of the masses. (Thread)

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

Wow! This dude is clueless… Republican Rep. Mark Alford tries to calm his constituents down—who just lost their federal jobs—by telling them God has a plan and he’s confident they’ll find new work and be able to provide for their families.

I asked a coworker who voted for Trump if she thought Musk had too much power in this administration. She said she didn’t know because she wasn’t following the news. This, my friends, is why we are all in this shitshow together.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

“The meeting was convened by Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada” MAGA can keep insisting that Trump is just “trolling,” but to the rest of the world, we’ve become a laughingstock. This has serious, long-term consequences for U.S. national security.

I see some of these Republican congresspeople are change their tune, saying they’re “concerned” about Trump’s stupidity! Save it! This is exactly what each of YOU voted for when you voted for him. You knew he was inept and incompetent, but you went along with it anyway. So this is YOUR circus!

Macron's face while Trump continues lying, over and over, claiming that the US has given Ukraine $350 billion, even after Macron tried to stop him by explaining that the EU has given far more than the US, 60% of total aid, and that even the EU has only given $128 billion.

Trump Voter: Musk keeps saying, well, I found $1 billion of waste here. In social security, there’s hundreds and hundreds of people collecting it that are between 100 years old and 150. Can you believe any of that crap? He can't substantiate it. You can't believe it. So that's a trust issue.
