#Krasnov I would love it if this # goes viral... And better yet.. he will hate it...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

More of this, please.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

Welcome home Leonard.

"The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they're selling: their ideas, their notion of inevitability. We may be many & they be few but they need us more than we need them. Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. I can hear her breathing.” - Arundhati Roy

(un)Happy UnPrecedented Day!

youtu.be/wQbKFJFQOas After JD Vance’s boorish, insulting and alarming speech to our European allies in Munich, Security Conference chairman wept. He weeps for our allies, and for me

So Trump is going to free this Guy. He was trying to Save America, so he has committed no crime. FREEDOM!!!!!!!!

www.pbs.org/newshour/pol... The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a January fatal mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Average US family health insurance premium has risen from $6k in 2000 to $26k in 2024, marking a 342% increase since 1999…

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican presidents. So much for Republicans being the party of "fiscal responsibility"; they will gladly drive up the debt if it means they can pass a Tax Scam for their billionaire friends and corporations.

During his first term, Trump caused many farmers to lose their farms due to his trade wars with China and the mishandling of the pandemic. A month into their term, Biden and Harris delivered policy that helped them survive and thrive. Now they have regrets. Was not voting for a woman worth it?

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system - putting backdoors into Treasury This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

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.

Rachel Maddow looks at a series of unforced errors by Elon Musk and the DOGE team that calls into question the accuracy of their "tech genius" image and whether they have the competence to tinker with the systems that run the federal government.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

No shit. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/07/s...

This morning, President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally seized $80M in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts. Trump and Elon stole tens of millions of dollars straight from our bank accounts--this is highway robbery, and NY cannot take this lying down.

1. One thing I keep saying is that Musk’s fantasy is ultimately very different from Trump’s fantasy, SCOTUS’ fantasy and the markets’ fantasy. bsky.app/profile/chri...

If the reorganizing and dismantling of agencies that were originally approved by Congress requires Congressional approval, shouldn’t Congress—if it still believes in the Constitution—state loudly and widely its disapproval and take action to stop this criminality?

I'm going to blast #Ballotproof for 24 hours

It's a little hard to hear but if you listen carefully you can hear this guy screaming "YOU'RE A FUCKING TRAITOR!!" I'm kidding...Trump heard it too.

This is the way.

It's a coup.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Take care of yourselves.

William Tong, Attorney General for Connecticut!! We have sued Trump, Bessent, and the Federal Government for DOGE… LFG!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Ha! 😅🤣

Another reason to ❤️ Costco. While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA. This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

This is a big deal. It may not seem like it now, but if they can expose him, his global influence is gone. If he’s been found to have broken laws, he can be sanctioned, his assets in Europe can be seized, and that would be a massive blow to his empire. Also, other nations will follow this lead.

Tonight I end the week with gratitude. While there is so much that is making every moment stressful and sad, all of you make me happy. Knowing that I am not alone, knowing that we are in this together, and knowing that together we are stronger. Thank you for being part of this journey 🙏🏽🫶🏽

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

DO NOT watch the Superbowl. Just don’t … make it so that those advertisers lose money. #BoycottSuperbowl

Project 2025 states clearly it doesn’t matter who is president. That’s why JD Vance is there and they will never leave if they accomplish what they are intending to do they’ll never leave and democracy is over. I spent three days at CPAC last year and they are deadly serious

How long until Martial law is declared?

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

As Trump shuts down USAID missions, officials warn Ebola outbreak in Uganda will spread worldwide flip.it/82LJIq how many will Trump & Musk kill?!?
