He could not list one example of a transgender child trying to gain an unfair competitive advantage at a school in WV. The GOP makes laws from nonexistent situations from a fear-based spirit. youtube.com/shorts/UyiZx...

Transgender: Relates to gender identity. Transgenic: Genetically modified organisms used in medical research. Political grandstanding: Priceless. In politics, it's not about being right—it's about being loud. And apparently, scientifically illiterate timesofindia.indiatimes.com/science/did-...

"Waste, Fraud, and Abuse" only means they've been wasting our time, fraudgently making excuses and abusing their power.

You can take those MAGA tears and dump them in the Gulf of America! #Wokejustmeanspeoplegiveadamn #NoMoreKings

When did firing national park rangers, scientists and air traffic controllers become better than taxing billionaires? We all know that's the solution. But instead, they want 84% of our tax money going to them instead.

Delayed Discernment. Its wrong to pave the path of harm in the guise of a good thing. And it's especially wrong to say of yourself, "Long live the King"! What good could come of that? What on earth would we gain? Except to learn we've let it go too far on how to spot an addled brain.

This hits differently today. Let's remind everyone why "Long live Democracy and NO to monarchies! #NOMOREKINGS www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZ...

There is this insane rumor that Taxpayers will get an $8K refund from #Doge savings. The math ain't mathing! Sending 20% of the roughly $8.6 billion of #DOGE savings would amount to about $11 per taxpayer. A DOZEN EGGS FOR EVERYBODY! www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

China is leading the world in technology and green energy. Meanwhile, the US has plastic straws and the Gulf of America. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2DKabde/

You almost wish the Founding Fathers would have written some sort of document that would have established three separate and independent bodies of government to check and balance each other so that no one person could become a tyrant by taking over the entire government.

Well folks, why do I need to keep paying federal taxes if all the programs that help all of us are on the cutting block? Health, Education, Social Security, Safety… We should be getting tax refunds since they don’t need these programs anymore.

I went to his transparent website DOGE.gov & according to his words: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” It's empty, just like his words.....

This says it all

@repjasmine.bsky.social calls out the GOP DOGE Committee members. She is literally speaking to a deaf GOP. THEY DON'T CARE!!!! They don't care about us, they don't care if the Constitution burns, they don't care! I repeat - THE GOP DOES NOT CARE!!! youtu.be/BbiSakOp9ck?...

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' is a peak delusion. Newsflash: just because you sign an executive order doesn’t mean the rest of the world will rewrite their maps. Geography isn’t a reality show—you can’t just vote someone off the atlas.

Nailed it 🏆

Well, folks, the ventriloquist dummy is having a ventriloquist dummy. At least we know who's writing the checks... and the speeches. Democracy's new face? A mute button and a checkbook. Stay tuned for next week's episode, "Who Needs Democracy Anyway?"

Rep. Luna’s new task force plans to question JFK investigators… who’ve been dead for decades. American history isn't taught in schools anymore - or in Congress. Maybe next, they’ll subpoena dinosaurs to testify about climate change. @voteapl.bsky.social www.yahoo.com/news/congres...

Didn’t get the price of eggs down but got paper straws banned. Yay! Make America suck again! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Georgia State Senator Josh McLaurin gives an update on Trump Morning News! lol This is great!!!! youtu.be/4ob5_enm02E?...

Oh, look! We've found the ultimate government efficiency expert - a billionaire with $20B in federal contracts! Nothing sketchy here! 🙄 Who needs ethics when you have "disruption"? Conflict of interest? More like "strategic alignment." Your tax dollars, his playground! #MuskyShenanigans

Executive Order! Executive Order! Executive Order! Congress risks becoming obsolete by outsourcing its primary function of creating laws to EOs and bureaucratic processes. But don't worry—Congress isn't completely useless. They still have the power to..um..well, they can always..hmm.

Y’all, I believe that congress is no longer in charge of our government and we’ve been taken over by pirates.

TRANSLATION: If this accident was caused by a straight white man, it won’t fit my “illegal DEI” narrative, so I have to get ahead of this with a bunch of nonsense because I know reporters will report what I say on loop, and everyone will believe me.
