MAGA Republicans really thought town halls would show the country that Americans are behind them. No šŸ’• Keep these clips coming our way! Hey MAGA: 2026 is coming. šŸ—³ļø Weā€™re voting you TF out.

Can someone explain to me what an ecexutive order is?

My statement on the Trump's Administration's reversal on Funding Cuts to the World Trade Center Health Program:

Rep McCormick (Roswellā€”safe red) canā€™t gaslight his constituentsā€”but they need to wake up. He wonā€™t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself ā€œkingā€ & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

šŸšØBREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

Have you noticed the press is not calling this the Trump-Vance administration? Donā€™t let Vance escape your attention, even though he isnā€™t making headlinesā€”heā€™s still dangerous.

I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever heard a real person say the words ā€œthe future of Western civilisationā€. Itā€™s just not a big concern beyond the berserk right. A perfect rallying cry for Badenochā€™s Tories then

WYOMING: ā€œThank you, Madam chairman.ā€ ā€œI prefer ā€˜Misterā€™ chairman.ā€ ā€œWell you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.ā€

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The online left are increasingly of the belief that it's politically savvy to prefer Nazis to Democrats and I just want to remind everyone that some people on this website are very good at saying incredibly stupid things with conviction, but they might in fact be dumber than you.

Itā€™s imperative at this point that Europe develop a defense posture independent of the United States, which should be treated as the ally of Russia that it has now become.

Hail to the thief. Stealing money from blue states, plundering our own country like it's conquered territory

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

"It's wrong to say that FIRE is a rightwing org that supports Trump and wanted him to win because they also supported the leftist pro Palestine protesters attacking Biden and Harris." You got me there buddy. I cannot possibly think any way to reconcile those two things. None at all

My take: the modern fascist movement believes as a foundational principle that there simply **IS** no such thing as goodness, that it doesnā€™t exist, and so what normies call ā€œevilā€ is just being in tune with the true nature of the universe

DOGE By The Numbers theonion.com/doge-by...

Modern-Day Peaceful Protestā€¦ TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucksā€”pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. Whatā€™s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

ā€œIf you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.ā€ A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The weaponization of US technology companies means we should treat our dependence on them as a national security threat ā†˜ļø

ā€œJust a few weeks ago, in early February, Musk told St Clair that the two ā€˜have a legion of kids to make.ā€™ā€ www.usermag.co/p/scoop-ashl...

Over 72 million Americans rely on Medicaid for life-saving healthcare. Thatā€™s 72 million peopleā€”children, seniors, people with disabilitiesā€”who would suffer without it. Donā€™t cut my Medicaid.

When President Biden was in office just a month ago, everything from eggs to insulin was cheaper. There must be more outrage against Elon musk and Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Gonna be a fun day when our new defense secretary shows up to a press conference drunk as Boris Yeltsin and the entire media pretends not to notice it

This is shameful. Vice Chair Alvarado has been in public service for decades, and Congressman Lawler's appalling comments to him are exactly what they look like. Ā  Apologize, Congressman.

Today, my office is in court to keep up our efforts to stop Trump's National Institutes of Health funding cuts that will slow down lifesaving medical research. Ā  We're urging the court to continue to block these funding cuts as we keep fighting this reckless abuse of power.

The Trump administration's outrageous cuts to staffing and health care that 9/11Ā first responders and survivors depend on should have never happened. Ā  These cuts must be fully reversed so our heroes can get the services they need and deserve.

We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administrationā€™s destruction.

Another Republican Congressman facing pushback from his voters. Most of them are probably Republican voters and they're out protesting two months into a Republican Presidency. Will they learn their lesson by the time the next election comes?

To Governor Mills and the state of Maine Thank you for reminding us That in America We fight for people who are unjustly ostracized We follow the rule of law We stand up to bullies We damn sure arenā€™t ruled by a king AND WE DO NOT BEND THE KNEE TO WANNABE TYRANTS EVER

man it's so rich to be told that leftists "warned libs about this" when the entire past year was libs screaming about how dangerous it was going to be to reelect trump and leftists replying "yeah i don't care"

This thread contains a breakdown of how many people in each Congressional district require Medicaid/CHIP.

Letā€™s be clear: Musk and Trump want to dismantle the government from within and sell it for parts.Ā  This isnā€™t government efficiency ā€“ this is government incompetence.

This is what you get when you pardon violent j6ers. Well done, Trump administration.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

been struggling with the idea that all of human history, all of the destruction, the suffering, the brutality, the razing, the pillaging, the salting of the beautiful fields of this planet has all led up to this. guys burning down everything built over that ruin just so they can do a coy nazi salute

Editor Commentary: Who does this to other people? To doctors, nurses, farmers, teachers, professors, scientists, veterans, working families, people with disabilities, children with special needs, poor people? What twisted, unnatural men.

"farmers are apoplectic. In Ohio, theyā€™re stressed about USAID contracts and USDA cost-sharing investments. They held up their end. The government made promises. Now their family farms and livelihoods are on the line. Billions of dollars are at stake. Itā€™s all being held hostage by Musk and Trump."

President Donald Trump had a terse confrontation with Maineā€™s Democratic Governor Janet Mills over his efforts to bar transgender athletes from participating in womenā€™s sports. ā€œSee you in court.ā€

Look surprised. 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...
