Don’t worry, I’m sure the president who only recently discovered the word “groceries” knows what he’s doing with the economy.

Going over to X now feels like having to check the mold infestation in your basement.

Our beef is the most masculine beef. Very strong, heterosexual beef. Our beef pisses standing up while their effeminate beef pisses sitting down.

Just so we’re all clear: Congress could vote to end this tariff madness tomorrow. Every Republican who refuses to do so is actively supporting a $6 TRILLION tax hike on Americans.

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE: -Website crashed 4 times in 10 days -Phone lines are overwhelmed -Staff being forced out -Customer experience office eliminated -SSA field offices on the chopping block This is an attack on Social Security itself.

In any other administration of the past 80 years, the defense secretary and the national security advisor would, following an equivalent scandal, now resign.

Now is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City (@NLBMuseumKC) exists to tell a deeply important American story -- one that is ultimately about triumph. Our history, good and bad, is all we have. Learning it is our duty.

Nothing says “party of the everyman” quite like two born-to-riches nepo baby billionaires selling $80,000+ cars on the White House lawn.

contrarian.substack.com/p/a-nation-a... inspirational: If John Lewis were here today he would be encouraging us “to stand up, speak up, and speak out” vs injustice. He would be reminding us that silence is compliance. He would be asserting that the Constitution begins with the words “We the people”…

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled. This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

What we are living through right now is simply not normal.

What a different world we could have.

Ukraine has supplied the U.S. with extensive intelligence and vast amounts of data on Russian technology, captured equipment, battlefield operational guides, weapon performance, and countermeasures against US provided systems. A shame no one seems to remembers or appreciates it

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

Trump was found to have: Committed housing discrimination Defrauded Trump university “students” Sexually abused E Jean Carroll-before defaming her Perpetrated massive fraud for which he was fined $454 million And to have committed 34 felonies in the State of New York Yet he struts around, free

The US Congress is applauding Trump for withdrawing from the fricking World Health Organization. We live in Idiocracy.

Good night, dear friends. See you tomorrow. 📹 This is the man they attempted to humiliate in the Oval office. Zelenskyy will be remembered as a leader of resilience and honor, who stood firm in the face of his country’s darkest hours. His courage and dedication will leave a lasting mark on history.

On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

I mean, Jesus Christ, can you people even *hear* yourself? I'm about to die of secondhand embarrassment just reading this crap.

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics. Putin's best week in years.

Most presidents are focused on creating jobs, Trump is focused on killing them.

The richest man alive and his unvetted teenagers are lawlessly firing federal workers and canceling vital government funds. While the GOP cowers in fear and surrenders its authority, Democrats are introducing legislation, filing lawsuits and fighting this smash-and-grab looting.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

What is the point if we don't fight? Because there is still so much to fight for.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

The purpose of this is … what??

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Members of the Navajo Nation were detained by ICE. Be careful when they send them back where they came from you could be living on that spot.

The message is clear: They’re going to be the most lawless administration in the history of America *by far* And they’re getting rid of anyone who could possibly stand in their way

Hesgeth just Won nomination as Secretary of Defense. Our forces are now led by a drunk Fratboy Nazi white supremacist Christian nationalist that will happily invade Canada, Greenland & throw the armed forces into mutiny eventually. No one will respect or take him seriously. He’s dangerous.

Zuckerberg is waging war on us in an effort to gain favor with Nazis. If a Sieg Heil floats his boat we have to respond. Facebook I get b/c it can be one's only connection to relatives. Threads, IG, What's App (What did I forget) Dump it! Same for Bezos.

Please give a listen to Brian Sicknick's brother Craig and show your support to him and his family. They deserve so much better @jan6risingvoice.bsky.social youtu.be/X4X6Y8A78u4?...

Donald Trump’s baffling declarations on foreign policy were once the stuff of paranoid political thrillers, Tom Nichols writes in The Atlantic Daily.

📌I see a lot of people saying to be calm, all this was to be expected. 📌Let me tell you something: Nobody alive today has seen a transition like this. 📌So anybody telling you to stay calm just because "all this was to be expected" is either a damn fool, or lying to themselves. 📌Fight, dammit.

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

Republicans don't give a damn about "law and order" and don't get me started on their "Back the Blue" BS. They use these words to illicit the illusion that they actually mean something to them. www.yahoo.com/news/michael...

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to all the warriors out there ready to stand against the cruel policies of trump and his greedy oligarchy. Don't sit quietly on the sidelines; we must challenge and push back hard on every bullshit proposed action. LET'S DO THIS.🙏💪

some reporters have been too loose with phrasing like DEI. makes it sound like it's all abt post-George Floyd murder stuff. As he notes, they're ditching anti-discrimination policies that go back to LBJ.

My response to Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor’s Center:
