New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden. This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Despite Rubio’s grandfather’s “insistence that he was fleeing oppression, immigration officials raised suspicions that he might harbor communist sympathies…That charge, had they pursued it, could have led to a conclusion that he was a national security threat.” Oh. The. Irony.

Stafford just told a story about a Make A Wish Kid (who is fine today) Aaron Donald invited to work out at the gym and had him doing curls and was vomiting in the trash can and when Stafford told him to ease up he said "if you wanna be AD you gotta work out like AD" and I haven't stopped laughing

Seems to me what we’re seeing across the federal government are the dividends being paid from years of adopting market language to talk about public goods. Run government like a business? Businesses exist to make profit. Government exists to serve the people. We’re about to see the difference now.

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.

Jewish students at Columbia university today organized a demonstration in solidarity with anti-war student organizer Mahmoud Khalil and to denounce Trump's attacks on public education and protest. Photo via @/Columbia_psc

Also must point out that they’re simply inventing (& hoping you won’t notice) that Khalil or any other protester was “provid[ing] material support” to any banned foreign group. Material support is a tangible thing. ADL has been making this slanderous accusation w/o any evidence since protests began

This is a problematic headline. And ultimately can be dangerous. The wording makes it sound like this was the position of Jewish groups, whereas in truth opinions were diverse. This gives credence to these groups as if they speak for the Jewish community as a whole. They don't.

Donald Trump has stripped a legal resident of their status and jailed them for protesting. Texas is trying to criminalize the transgender community.The MAGA movement is erasing Black Lives and Women’s contributions to our country. This is NOT a government. It is a dictatorship. We need to organize!

First, it was bathrooms, then sports, and now they’re getting to what they really wanted — the complete erasure of the trans community. Also, if you think this is going to stop at trans people, you are deeply mistaken.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

Trump illegally cut $400M in federal funds to Columbia University over pro-Palestinian protests, claiming they're not quelling antisemitism. Meanwhile, Nazi Musk gets billions in federal funds. He has no issue with Musk but targets legally protesting students. He's as hypocritical as he is hateful.

📌This is absolutely incredible to me. Democrats like Al Green who were not submissive to the fascist, obnoxious, race-baiting, women-abusing, America-attacking slob were called to the mat by their OWN party. 📌I am telling you right now, I will not abide by this. Start fighting, or QUIT, Jeffries.
