MAGAconomics: Fire the IRS! Nothing says ‘fiscal responsibility’ like laying off 6,700 IRS workers right before tax season. Good news: the ultra-rich can keep dodging taxes. Bad news: you might be waiting until 2026 for your refund. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/b...

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

People will die because Elon Musk wants to use his crappy AI company, xAI, to take over the government. He plans to become “Technoking” over America just as he says he is (it’s actually his official job title) the Technoking of Tesla. I repeat: people will die because of this boundlessly evil man.

Today is not Presidents Day. It’s protest day! Shut up about protests not working and get out there. Protests: ☑️ Gave women the right to vote ☑️ Wake people up to important issues ☑️ Change public sentiment ☑️ Shaped the Civil Rights Movement ☑️ Get new laws passed

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

"This is not a one-off; remember that Vance has been suggesting since at least 2021 that a re-elected Donald Trump should defy the courts. It’s unconscionable for any lawyer to do this, let alone a lawyer who is the vice president of the United States."

USAID was founded by John F. Kennedy in 1961. The Kremlin has wanted to destroy it ever since then. So if you're seeing or repeating anti-USAID talking points -- remember that you're consuming or spreading propaganda from Moscow.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
