"The amount of US aid to Ukraine...is less than half of the personal wealth of a single US taxpayer, Elon Musk. In fact, the increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the [U.S.] aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."- Timothy Snyder

Heinous—Trump WH/HHS is planning to likely destroy $500 million worth of stockpiled COVID tests. They could give it out for free, but then Trump and RFK Jr would have to admit COVID is serious. And minimizers don’t have the guts to admit millions died. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Sen. Schiff presses Kash Patel to look at the Capitol Police officers behind him. Patel doesn't. "I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage … and tell them you're proud of what you did. Tell them you're proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues."

The guy produced a record of Jan 6ers singing the national anthem. He started a fund for them. He has said repeatedly that his sole motivation for this job is retribution. He’s lying his ass off. He’s less qualified than any previous nominee. And right now it looks like he’ll be confirmed.

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.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed. Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.
