Does it feel like Elon is our Rasputin?

Rep. Crockett is a treasure.

Congress should dress like Zelensky to the State of The Union

My trousers stayed up and no one rushed the stage and slapped me, so all things considered… a pretty good night. #Oscars2025

🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying. WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

What happened to Little Marco?

Why don’t you wear a suit?

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

This is straight out of project 2025

Texas has a $24 billion surplus. Universities are not allowed to raise tuition. Dan Patrick wants to cut $400 million because of perceived DEI . . . They outlawed DEI 2 years ago! This is nothing other than an attack on public higher education www.texastribune.org/2025/02/27/d...

Anyone who tells you you're overreacting is underreacting.

Just Maple reminding you that tomorrow, February 28th, is Economic Blackout day, so sploot on your funds and spend nothing.

NEW: Per a source, the firings of probationary employees hit NOAA's office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) today. It includes not just newer young scientists but people at the top of their field who have been there for years but were technically probationary for admin/not-relevant reasons.

Economic Blackout on 28 February 2025: Take part & share the news Do not buy ANYTHING on 28 Feb 2025, especially from big box stores! #EconomicBlackout #Resist #Protest #politics

CAMERON: “I see a turn away from everything decent. America doesn’t stand for anything if it doesn’t stand for what it has historically stood for. It becomes a hollow idea, and I think they’re hollowing it out as fast as they can for their own benefit.” www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

BREAKING: A federal judge in California has ordered OPM to rescind memos calling for the mass termination of probationary employees, saying the agency overstepped its legal authority and must inform other agencies it lacked the authority to issue such a directive.

WASHINGTON (AP) - 21 civil service employees are resigning from Elon Musk's DOGE, refusing to "dismantle critical public services."

Federal Worker Spent Entire Week Golfing

ICUMI - February 21, 2025 Judge clears way for Trump admin to pull thousands of USAID staffers off the job His ruling also allows admin start the clock ticking on 30-day deadline for USAID workers abroad to move back to US at govt expense By E KNICKMEYER and L WHITEHURST apnews.com/article/trum...

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Donald Trump just signed an executive order declaring that only the president or the Attorney General can speak for “what the law is.” Yeah, they’re telling us what they plan to do.

NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it. He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hackers have illegally accessed our most private information and only half of America seems to care.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Yet another plane crash on Sean Duffy’s watch— and the *5th* since Trump “ended DEI madness and restored excellent and safety within the FAA.” 1 dead and 4 hurt after a plane crashes in Scottsdale.

BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin for shutting down USAID. This unlawful action threatens life-saving aid programs across the world and leaves thousands of American workers without jobs. This disruption of aid is causing a global humanitarian crisis.

Trump’s attempt to shut down USAID is not just unfathomably cruel & unnecessary, it's against the law. Trump is not a king, he doesn't just get to unilaterally dismantle an agency funded by Congress. That’s why we’re suing to stop the Trump admin.
