I’m obviously in favor of a strong US security posture, but cutting nondefense spending by 23% and RAISING defense spending by 13% is an egregious misappropriation of taxpayer dollars. There’s a point where more defense spending is largely redundant, and we’re there.

Lmao, Waltz resigned from Congress only to be fired four months into his new role. Well-oiled machine!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I would say unbelievable, but it’s completely believable. According to Trump, January 2024--when Biden was in office—was Trump’s market. Meanwhile, April 2025—while Trump is in office—that’s Biden’s stock market. Some idiot is going to say this makes sense, too.

Trump made Canada great again. The Liberals were projected to get thrashed until he started talking about making Canada a state.

To be clear, the White House is calling Amazon being transparent and showing American shoppers WHY their stuff is more expensive a “hostile and political act” Maybe don’t implement policies that make shit more expensive?

Keep the pressure on. Don’t stop because he’s “exiting,” or, “pulling back.” Keep denying Tesla business. Keep peacefully protesting outside the dealerships. The only language these idiots understand is $. Leave no doubt.

🚨RHODE ISLANDERS🚨 This is not a drill. All hands on deck. We cannot have Trump Lite as our next RI Senate President. FRANKLY, his record is abysmal. This cannot be the way. Call your state senator TODAY to let them know: NO to Ciccone. Find your senator: vote.sos.ri.gov/Home/Polling...

This is heartbreaking. We often fail to fully understand that sexual abuse and predation imposes a life sentence on victims. We underestimate the courage it takes for folks like Virginia to speak out and speak up against their wealthy and powerful abusers. RIP, Virginia.

The Epstein story has been covered up to protect, presidents, princes, kings, politicians, captains of industry. Some of the most influential men on the planet are part of this sex scandal and every single one of them is being protected.

Thank you to the editors of @nbcnews.com who in their headline gave Ms Giuffre the dignity her courage deserves. Unlike the hundreds and hundreds of media outlets locally and internationally who cowardly and lazily simply described her as Epstein’s accuser -in 2025. #courageous

The most concerning part about the DOGE / NLRB story is that the whistleblower claims a login attempt using VALID DOGE credentials was made from Russia shortly after DOGE started moving data.

@bsky.app hey blue sky! I like a lot about this platform but still don’t use it as much as twitter and I realize that it’s in part because it doesn’t go to full screen on my iPad like twitter did, making it harder to read, other than that it’s great

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer: “Cancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.” She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials. Good first step, but need accountability.

Here you have two sitting presidents both claiming to not have the power to return a man they erroneously deported and detained. All while Trump also floated sending US citizens to El Salvador for crimes.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

China just announced 84% tariffs on the US. There is no winner in a global trade war. This isn’t a negotiation, it’s an economic pissing contest that is going to ruin the economies of several nations if people don’t get their shit together.

There’s so much GOP cope happening today. “At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat” Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015. You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

The right wing influencer machine is telling everyone that Trump is going to announce the “External Revenue Service” and abolish the IRS today. What’s actually going to happen if he establishes the ERS is that you get taxed twice.
