Democrats will probably be needed on 3/14 to avoid a government shutdown. That is the only power they will have for two years. If they fail to use that power decisively and ruthlessly they are almost as bad as republicans

Imagine a situation where you encounter trump and musk, each in mortal danger, death imminent, and you could only save one of them. I know what I would do

I think Musk is more dangerous than Trump. Musk is smart. Trump is stupid. Musk decides. Trump signs what Musk tells him to sign. Musk is tearing up the government for some personal gain. Trump is doing so just because he can.

Each secretary wants to appear more aggressive in firing the top people. We are rushing headlong into stupidity

Imagine how small and insignificant Hegseth must have felt in the presence of general brown

Hegseth, the drunk, would have cowered in fear and shame in the presence of general Brown. A retired white man with a jazzy nickname is more to his liking

Breaking: the price of eggs is higher than the stock market

I wonder if Trump has ever done any for anyone without demanding something in return?

If Trump is Russia’s “useful idiot” what does that make Eric trump?

If you have a mouthful of wine or beer, swallow before reading on I have a friend who actually told me that Musk is doing all of this for free, just out of his love of America and he didn’t expect to get anything for doing it

Egg prices up. Planes down. Hatred for America up. Stock market down inflation up. Trust in America down

Zelensky is more than Time’s Man of the Year. He is democracy’s man of the decade. And Trump, he is the page in every magazine that means nothing and takes up space before being ripped out

Wonder which is worse, to say I don’t believe in god, or to say I do believe in god but I am not going to follow any of his commandments?

Scary thought for the day: imagine what Trump looks like when he first wakes up in the morning, before the bronzer and hair gel

Our debt is 36 trillion dollars. We pay 369 billion dollars a year as interest payments on our debt. If Trump /DOGE promised to start cutting expenses across the board on a yearly basis and further promised no new tax cuts, 80% of Americans would approve. It is the tax cuts that screw the message

Democrats, don’t trust congressional promises or deals to gain your help in passing any budget deal. They will not honor them and Trump will issue executive orders to screw you

With republicans in charge of all branches of government, democrats have only on lever. Do not help republicans pass any budget deal no matter what. Make them pass it alone

The population of Canada is greater than that of California. If it became a blue state the republicans would never win another presidential race

Can’t wait for egg prices to double and listen to the MAGA cult brag about how they have plummeted under Trump

🚨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!
