Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

We love merit, don’t we folks?

Will any Republican in today’s House or Senate — the bodies the Founders created — find even a fraction of the courage of the men who founded this nation? hartmannreport.com/p/yes-were-t...

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Has Putin also ordered Trump to cut the US military down to the point where we can't stand up to Russia? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

A point to consider.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

I think we’ve come up with the name…

How pathetic that it has come to this!

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Wow. Netanyahu really saw Trump coming… What a sucker: Trump was more than willing to take Israel’s biggest problem off its hands and dump it on our troops. This is insane.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

One of the 'woke' key words they're looking for as they decide which medical research grants to cancel? WOMAN www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“The Harvard Medical School physician received a stop-work order for a program designing treatment plans for people with the most drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. Infectious diseases do not know borders, she pointed out. 'It’s terrifying'...” www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Trump’s campaign promise was to finish the job they started on Jan 6 and this is what it looks like.

Could the Democrats' Lack of Resistance Be a Green Light for Tyranny? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

I think this is the right sentiment about a lot of things but not about inflation. The levels that followed the pandemic were enough to crush incumbents, and did all over the world.

Perfectly captured.

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you
