Jasmine Crockett isn't being quiet about it—when it's time to elect the next House Oversight Committee ranking member, she wants the job. And she’s earned it. Let's back up @repjasmine.bsky.social . We need her voice in leadership—ASAP!

A gift to the NRA.

God bless her!

The Art of the Shlemiel

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

In any other time in American history, 1/10th of this scandal would be the end of a presidency. But this is just like a day that ends in Y. This is our life now.

Japan’s opposition leader gave a speech that completely roasted the Trump administration. He said, “Negotiating with them as akin to being extorted by juvenile delinquents.”

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

Hegseth is now without a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor, less than 100 days into his tenure. A "senior defense official" suggested he made poor choices for who to trust in his inner circle, with another saying there would likely be more "chaos" to follow soon.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... "Earlier today, Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont, walked into an immigration office for what was supposed to be final step in his citizenship process," they said. "Instead, he was arrested and removed in handcuffs by plainclothes armed individuals…

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

The women & men who serve our country could be prevented from voting if the SAVE Act passes. We must call or message our Senators in all 50 states. Tell them to OPPOSE the SAVE Act & to urge their colleagues to do the same. Our freedom to vote is at risk. bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Trump administration fired nearly the entire civil rights branch of the Department of Homeland Security.

Columbia University caved to Trump’s demands to increase policing of students for $400M in federal funding, despite a $14.8B endowment. With that cushion, what’s the point of an endowment if not to resist outside pressure and uphold values? This clearly shows they prioritize money over principles.

Thanks, Trump and Musk! 🤬

The language of the Gestapo.

DOGE is a death panel

GOP lawmaker Justin Eichorn (R-MN) has been arrested on felony charges for soliciting sex from a teenage girl. He had previously spread claims that Democrats and LGBTQ people were trying to groom children.

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Everyone is proud of DJ. This kid’s a fighter. But while Trump used him as a prop, he’s slashing children cancer research, cutting $1B already, pushing to gut $4B more, all to hand $4.5T in tax breaks to billionaires. Cutting life-saving research to fund yachts? That’s cruelty, not leadership.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Opt out tomorrow!

Sure, Elon’s speaking at length at a cabinet meeting, but no, he’s not acting as a principal officer of the United States under Art. II, §2, cl. 2 of the Constitution because he’s just a lowly employee like the guy who gets Trump his Coca-Colas

BREAKING Project 2025 leader and current OMB head Russ Vought directs all agencies to create plans for large-scale layoffs ("Reductions in Force") by March 13.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

BREAKING—RFK Jr’s FDA suddenly cancels meeting to update next season’s flu vaccines, with zero explanations. Any delays will jeopardize next year’s vaccine supply chain. God help us all.

🔥 CROCKETT: “Facts matter.”

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

NEWS The FDA, which operates under the authority of Robert Kennedy Jr., canceled the meeting to discuss next year’s flu vaccines. This could interfere with or delay production of flu vaccines. 86 children and 19,000 adults have died from flu this season. About 430,000 people were hospitalized.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

RFK Jr. minimizes a child dying in the measles outbreak in Texas. It's the first measles death in almost 10 years. Vile man.
