And out of our lives, ideally.

and on day 36 in shambolistan... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/s...

If Republicans ideologically believe that government should be run like a business, then members of Congress should be forced to cover the workloads of the 300k people they have fired like a business

Nothing “owns us Libs” harder than commercial airplanes colliding in the sky, landing upside down or aborting landings altogether so they don’t collide with other airplanes on the ground. Nothing.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

I miss DEI

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

THIS IS SERIOUS: Republicans want to gut healthcare from millions of kids, seniors, and disabled people—all to fund $4.5T in tax cuts for billionaires. Not just numbers on a spreadsheet—kids losing inhalers, babies missing checkups, parents choosing between food and medicine. Hands Off My Medicaid

I find it bizarre that we managed to go through 44 Presidents in over 200 years without hearing the term "quid pro quo" related to them, and now we've had it at least twice with the same crooked fucking asshole. So tired of this shit.

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

These f**king idiots

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The community note 🤌😘

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

It’s cute he thinks Trump would read this. And care if he did.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

If a Dem president was at a car race the day after a major national disaster had 3 states underwater with fatalities, most of the posts on X tonight would be trashing that president. But whether bad or good, Dems politicians don’t seem to like to play that game. But it is effective.

In case you missed the news on Wednesday here is what took place: Trump gave Putin exactly what he wants in Ukraine! - No NATO admission - Russia keeps Ukrainian land - Putin gets to visit the U.S. In return for… one prisoner exchange. Did Trump sell out Ukraine?

This is what the co-president has accomplished since DOGE started: $400 MILLION contract for Tesla cyber trucks to state Department $38 MILLION SpaceX contract Shut down parts of the govt investigating him Stoped poor & starving children from receiving food Is he winning?

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s congressional subcommittee on DOGE is intended to be large scale social deception. Rep. Greg Casar just exposed how much money Elon Musk makes every day on Govenrnment contracts.

Trump instrucred his AG to drop the case against Eric Adams in exchange for Adam’s instructing the NYPD to illegally support ICE mass deportation activity. Doesn’t that make Adams, Trump’s slave? Would you call that Quid pro quo? Isn’t that an impeachable activity?

Sheryl Crow Says ‘So Long Tesla’ and Dumps Her Car in Reaction to ‘President Musk,’ She is Donating Proceeds to NPR Who’s with Sheryl?

1. Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

This scene has serious Omen vibes …

Call lawmakers.Tell them we need a first rate medical professional to lead the Dept of Health. Not fringe anti vaxer RFK Jr

Pleasant interaction: saw a group of teens excitedly point out a little free library and had over to it right as I was walking up with a big stack to donate. Got some "Ooh!"s and "thank yours. Nice to be reminded people do still like books.

If you’re part of the X exodus reply with a 💙 and please repost. I want my friends to follow you.

Big if true.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Exactly one week ago.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

The American Airlines jet that collided with an Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday night was carrying a group of elite young figure skaters, their parents, and coaches. RIP to all the innocent souls lost in this horrible tragedy. www.yahoo.com/news/youth-f...

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

We have a reality tv game show host for a “president” and reality tv star for a “transportation secretary” and a morning tv “news” anchor for a “defense secretary”. So things are going about as well as expected.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
