Trump really is addressing immigration. Making America a place nobody wants to live is a bold strategy to accomplish this, but it is going to pay dividends on that front.

Elon’s eyes under the sunglasses:

"I wonder what this relatively small account that Elon Musk follows is?" "Oh I see, it just posts porn and Nazism only."

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Firing probationary employees is senseless. Probationaries are: -New to their position -Make lower salaries -Recruited to bring in new talent -Far LESS likely to be dogmatic They're being fired because they have fewer protections. Not because this will improve government efficiency or cut costs.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

"Scientists spend huge amounts of time trying to meet regulatory requirements instead of doing actual science, Dr. Droegemeier said." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/c...

Never seen it put so clearly. 👇👇👇

It’s cute he thinks Trump would read this. And care if he did.

Yes, this. Silence is how they get away with it. To my colleagues in government: don’t resign. Make them fire you. Stand up for your profession and yourselves. Fight back, however you can. That last part applies to those of us not in government, as well.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Said every tyrant and dictator in human history to justify his actions.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

😭😭😭

Putting RFK Jr in charge of our nation’s health is like putting Jeffrey Epstein in charge of child safety.

Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda. Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying. Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

next time you’re having imposter syndrome, just remember that you have more clinical experience than the HHS secretary plus the NIH director combined 🫣

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

Good thing he didn’t look or sound high AF in the Oval today.

I wonder when Republicans in Congress are going to realize that most of the things Musk “finds” that he considers “fraud” are things that most of them voted for. Probably when they hear from their own voters about it. Enjoy!

I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling. He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Well, this didn't age well given Tusk's demolition of USAID.

It’s true. This indirects thing probably won’t stand but eventually one of these assaults on science is going to land a meaningful blow.

“Our competitors are loving watching us do this …at the very time when we’re in a global competition that is determined by technological capability. This is certainly not the time when you want to be cutting down on the research acumen of the United States.” www.chronicle.com/article/rese...

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.
