Old, opinionated, American historian by education, a manager by experience…. Oh, and I’m seriously accurate with the chancla.

(AP) - The Associated Press sued three Trump administration officials Friday over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day blocking of its journalists. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ap-sues-3-trump-administration-212222233.html

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

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.”

VOA - The vast majority of human rights groups focused on North Korea face an existential crisis after receiving notices from the US government that their grant funds have been frozen. https://www.voanews.com/a/north-korea-rights-groups-face-collapse-amid-us-funding-halt/7981751.html

Yep

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

I don’t even want to hear the reasoning

I have four our round trips scheduled this year…… 🫨

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

It really is this simple.

Who died and made them gods?

This is criminal. They’re experimenting with real passengers……

A drug addict who makes cars that spontaneously explode, plows into cops, and crash at much higher rates than other cars, is going to fix the air traffic control system? I'm not getting on a plane until this drug-addled illegal immigrant is deported or imprisoned.

Since we’re on the topic of government waste, Donald Trump’s joyride around the Daytona 500 cost American taxpayers around $5,000,000. 🤡 Here’s the breakdown: Air Force One Costs: estimated $800,000 – $1,000,000. Presidential Motorcade & Transport: estimated $200,000 – $500,000

Minimally those who owe should file extensions to October. And revise their withholding to pay zero. After all, he who saves the country does not violate the law……

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Oh my fucking God.

He who saves his country violates no laws.

States are being ravaged by floods, thousands of federal employees were fired for being collateral damage of revenge, food aid rots in ports, bird flu/measles are spreading, inflation/prices are surging, yet the orange felon wasted millions riding around Daytona 500. I hate him.

BC there has to be a red line, people! #resist #trump#musk www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-...

NYT - not sure who wrote the piece but, really? His policy aims WERE a power grab…

Do out loud he’s admitting their role model s Hitler. #resist #trump #musk

People Power United folks rock! To date, they have written over half a million letters and postcards! We are making change happen! FYI, our letter and postcard writing is happening year-round. https://www.mobilize.us/peoplepowerunited/event/714999/

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

Tomorrow is a national protest day in the US. Protests are organized at the White House and state capitals, but if you can’t find an event or time that works for you, go when and where you can. If there is no event organizer, you are the event organizer. Announce it below,👇 hashtags #3E #USProtests

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

"If enacted, it would devastate voter registration while disenfranchising tens of millions of eligible American citizens." That's exactly the point. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

This is bad. We need a clean mid term.

Truer words were never spoken.

And I’m sick and tired at his fork tongue spewing lies…..
