Handicapper, lifetime student, and anti-fascist. I debunk false narratives, flawed thinking, and outright lies. By expert consensus, Trump is the worst president in our history, and his second term will be worse than his first.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Prediction: Whoever is running DOGE will produce a net loss in government revenue and will need to hire back most of the people they fired when lawsuits are finally adjudicated/: fortune.com/2025/02/19/u... apnews.com/article/soci... fortune.com/2025/02/19/d... www.yahoo.com/news/doge-re...

DONT GET ME STARTED.

Trump is pursuing a pathway to oligopoly & autocratic rule to focus on his "Golden Age" at our expense while rejecting all the efforts of those who came before us to make America a global leader and a force for a better world.

Candlelight vigil for the state of US democracy, Wednesday February 19, 6 to 8 PM, Portland, City Hall #3E #USProtests

2500 people in attendance, tens of thousands watching on live streams, an entire congressional staff, a governor (Bob Ferguson was there) and a U.S congresswoman now know who Heather Marsh is. Silenced by the Silicon Valley tech bros no more. I was on a mission tonight. Mission accomplished.

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic. Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.

Trump proving beyond a doubt he is working for Russia, is now openly attacking Zelenskyy and Ukraine after failing to blackmail them for trillions of dollars. Everyday Trump is president is a 100 years of shame and embarrassment for the United States.

Europe must stay focused and act now to back president Zelenskyy against Putin. At today's meeting with heads of states, hosted by Emmanuel Macron, we saw that we have the tools – sanctions, tariffs, frozen assets - to keep up the maximum pressure. We will not give up and we will #StandWithUkraine

Starting to get the vague sense that Elon Musk is an official government employee when it’s useful to him, and not when it’s not.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Yes, the employee at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, groceries, bills, health care and retirement plans with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.
