A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

That's a whole lotta officially documented voter suppression, 4.77 million and some change. youtu.be/t3PM15wCVn0?...

Americans used to move all of the time to better their life. Then they stopped. Why? @hannarosin.bsky.social talks with @yappelbaum.bsky.social about the end of upward mobility in the U.S. and who's actually to blame.

@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."

EXCLUSIVE: While Department Of Justice Attorneys Claim Elon Musk Does Not Lead DOGE, Republicans Tell Their Constituents Otherwise Republican members of Congress are actively contradicting the Justice Department.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Welcome to the find out phase you MAGA dumb fu*ks. I don't even care that I told you so.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

At the end of his CPAC speech, Steve Bannon exclaimed “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, raised his arm in a brief Nazi salute gesture, brought his arm down, nodded his head at the crowd, and then said, “Amen!”

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

In case it isn't already obvious. youtube.com/post/Ugkxs8q...

Hey, southern Ohio! Might want to look into that radioactive landfill making everyone sick. youtu.be/mMvS5e8NDDw?...

They didn't "save money." They starved kids and fired watchdogs. That all costs us more in the long run.

Wow.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Is anyone else experiencing cognitive dissonance with this one? www.greenpeace.org/usa/energy-t...

"Working too hard for too little money is directly connected to politics." You've been set up to be without power, resources, or recourse. youtu.be/mK4IWzxPoF8?...

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Americans are screaming that it's wrong, but the new regime has so much money that none of us matter.

We’re all gonna die 🤦🏼‍♂️ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's a way for them to fire profs they think are teaching anything too w*ke or against propaganda (like social inequalities). The woman quoted knows because sociology profs across the state are already being pressured to change what they teach to please conservatives. www.lpm.org/news/2025-02...
