If I’m not mistaken, their leaving would be the fix.

Brits don’t sugarcoat 🤣

Dear God, how fast does a gold plated toilet fall in a hurricane? “Some people are saying” the same speed as a Donald Trump meme coin.

Sure hope so. (art by Dave Tarnowski)

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Report: You Live In An Embarrassing Country

@gldplover.bsky.social Hey, Mo! Ted. I am a grounded bird these days, thus the handle. Hope you have had fun in HI

Sweet Zombie! WTF is going on with the US Senate? They have confirmed every destructive carnival clown nominee put forth but Gaetz. “The god damned plane has crashed into the mountain!” Dump is collapsing government and ready to don his fascist crown. Pretty sure the press will be shut down next.

No one HAS to do illegal, corrupt, wrong things, They CHOOSE to. Or not. Bravo to the SDNY and Main Justice Lawyers who are showing America what it is to defend the rule of law. What a contrast to sniveling Rs in Congress.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Will you send your children to fight for his Gaza real estate empire and ethnically cleanse it of Palestinians? '“We're going to have Gaza. We don't have to buy. There's nothing to buy. We will have Gaza.” “We're going to take it." An empirical, extremist fantasy! Hell no!

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

@jordanklepper.bsky.social is gold.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

From budget hawks at the Peterson Foundation: GOP budget adds "trillions more in new deficits and debt. It allows for $4.5 trillion in revenue reductions, with only $1.2 trillion in offsets. All told, this plan would add more than $25 trillion to the debt over the next decade."

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Just another disgraceful MAGA 🤡
