I thought I should let you all know what is going on over at Twitter ASAP Spread the word: Elon Musk is indeed deportation-eligible

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

He's 100% correct.

So much for “We the People”

Whether you're watching the speech tonight or not, I think we can all agree that no matter what words Trump says what will be going through his mind as he faces Congress is that he cannot wait to have all of them arrested and incarcerated in El Salvador or Guantanamo Bay so he can rule unchallenged

My new favorite name for Cheeto Hitler.

Things that will get more expensive in America, thanks to Donald Trump's trade war: Buying a home. Buying groceries. Replacing appliances. Fixing a car (or buying a new one). Paying an energy bill. Starting a business. Guess that’s what he’d call “fun for the whole family.”

A lot of people are going to die from this

Walsh is correct.

Kelly: “Our European allies are looking at this and thinking, what just happened? What happened to the United States of America that used to be the leader of the free world?”

"I am ashamed for my nation; even if Congress acts to support and aid Ukraine, it cannot restore the American honor lost today."- Tom Nichols

"I'm the most hated billionaire in the world!"-- Elon Musk "Hold my beer."-- Jeff Bezos "Hey guys, wait for me!"-- Mark Zuckerberg

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Under Trump's leadership, the US took Russia's side at the UN, opposing a resolution acknowledging Russia’s responsibility for the war. @gallego.senate.gov and I rushed to the floor to force the Senate to condemn this betrayal of our ally. Republicans blocked us. youtu.be/Wtazkuq1JhU?...

Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

Stanbury: "We will not give them one single vote!"

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

UNREAL: The United States State Department has forced employees to cancel subscriptions to any media considered unfriendly to Trump, including Politico, The New York Times, Reuters and the Associated Press. That's what fascists do.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

The Army and Navy just deleted web pages honoring women’s military service—falling in line with Trump’s DEI purge. This isn’t about readiness. It’s about erasing the contributions of women who served and sacrificed for this country. Shameful. READ MORE: www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

The United States that I love, that I grew up with, will no longer exist in four years. If it takes that long.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

"While Biden trampled on it." The Biden DOJ prosecuted Sen. Menendez (D-NJ), Rep. Cueller (D-TX), and refused to prosecute Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Meanwhile, Mike Johnson was the architect of Trump's effort to undermine Biden's 2020 win, culminating into an insurrection at the Capitol. Pure projection.

🚨 SecDef Hegseth handed Putin a gift—blocking Ukraine from NATO and denying its right to reclaim land Putin illegally seized. This emboldens Russian aggression and puts American Troops at risk. Hegseth cheered the Iraq War, costing 3K+ American lives. Now he’s setting up another disaster.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

You are the company you keep.

Here's recently resurfaced footage from CNN of then-Senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham voicing their unfettered, full-throated support for foreign aid. They would HATE it if these clips went viral.

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

WOOO HOOOOO! 🙏💪

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: Republicans have just signaled that they don't care one iota about national security, as they just voted to advance Russian puppet Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for Director of National Intelligence to the Senate. Russia and China must be celebrating. It's a sad day for national defense.

Sorry... why are we still referring to Cassidy as a doctor? Surely he lost that honorific today? After knowingly aiding and abetting a man whose anti-science quackery killed Samoan kids and will kill more in the years ahead? How is anything Cassidy did today acceptable under the Hippocratic Oath?

"Shuttered HIV and TB treatment programs have been told they cannot resume work without written instruction that the waiver applies to them. Few have been able to obtain such clarification because their assigned contacts at USAID have been fired or furloughed..." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

Some of us are willing to sound like a crank if it will save the goddamned country The number-one problem in major media over the last decade has been journalists deciding not to do their jobs rather than risk sounding like a crank in front of their colleagues We needed loud voices _ten years ago_

We lost America in under two weeks. While Congress was on vacation. The deportation of U.S. political dissidents to die in an El Salvadorean dungeon will begin before you know it.

So much for his Hippocratic oath.

Cassidy—a doctor—has violated his Oath and is a yes on Kennedy. Kennedy is now almost certain to be confirmed. People will die because of this; Kennedy at DHHS will cause deaths, full stop. The crazy thing is, no one even doubts it. But also no one cares, so here we are.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.
