Not one time during Trump's speech did he ever pledge to protect Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid/VA Benefits NOT ONCE! This week, Musk called Social Security a ponzi scheme They plan to dismantle Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid

BREAKING: Hundreds of State Dept. Officials Sign Dissent Cable Urging Rubio to Stop Killing USAID

•••BREAKING••• The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s request to halt a lower COURT ORDER mandating the government to unfreeze nearly $2 billion in foreign-aid funding. The SCOTUS ruling clears the way for funds to flow to groups that have done work for the State Department and…

Good to see SCOTUS uphold foreign aid, but this headline (like the dissenting justices) misses the point. It is Congress, not a judge, who is requiring payment. Court is applying the law and Constitution to prevent Trump from defying Congress!

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

One of the problems, IMO, w/both Dems in Congress and the pundits screaming at them rather than the fascists is they still think fixing Trump is abt winning an election. That's a luxurious thought but wildly wrong-headed. Problem is winning enough non-, swing-, and GOP voters to halt things now.

Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget. This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.” He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

We have over 100 upcoming #TeslaTakedown events in the US and abroad! Join a protest in your city or create your own at Teslatakedown.com. The movement is growing, Tesla is on the decline, your voices are being heard!

Trump has made history. First second term President to have a negative approval rating just 6 weeks into His term. It will keep dropping given inflation and layoffs.

This is, in fact, obviously huge.

I wish every Democrat walked out with Rep Green. That would’ve been very powerful

This was EPIC.

BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES President Trump‘s emergency bid to cancel nearly $2 billion in USAID spending. The vote is 5-4.

Trump is a disgrace to the United States and the human race.

You first.

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Hey thanks for the plug Gutfeld. You’re as bad as Hannity. Don’t you guys have anything else to cover? That’s right. You can’t say anything critical of Trump or Musk! Sad! Hear my response later today on the show.

Coming up at 4p on “The Jim Acosta Show,” I’ll be joined by Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn plus I’ll check in with the head of the federal employees union for the latest on Musk’s DOGE blitz. Tune in. On Substack.

@schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov Thank you for staying on the floor through the night to speak out against Russell Vought’s nomination to run the Office of Management and Budget.

Great News! In response to our motion, the court has restricted access to the Treasury Department payment system, barring sharing of sensitive data with Elon Musk’s DOGE.
