I asked a maga guy online to explain what he meant when he said mental health meds for kids should be “looked into”. In his reply he vaguely described the existing function of scientists, doctors, and the FDA. These people are so lost in their own rhetoric.

Not easy to do, but I think this hits all three words in the oft-said "waste, fraud, and abuse" of taxpayer dollars.

Great reporting on the local DEI retreat from @jimbrunner.bsky.social and @alexhalverson.bsky.social www.seattletimes.com/business/sta...

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Today's Propaganda Poster of the Class War:

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

I know it’s the least of it, but do any of these people have jobs and is Tarrio standing in a hole?

The film Rollerball (1975) basically foretells where we’re at. Corporations rule & selfish rich people shoot and destroy trees for fun. We just need a game that’s played to the death and we’re there. (I probably watched too many dystopian films at too young an age.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmdC...

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

Waste, fraud and abuse alert. 🚨

I know were in the "we listen but we don't judge" phase of things but this right here used to be an impeachable offense

“HELLO FREE PRESS WATCH ME EXTORT THIS GOVERNOR RIGHT NOW”

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

GOP votes down @senadamschiffz.bsky.social amendment “that would exempt federal firefighters from the ongoing hiring freeze launched by the Trump administration and reinstate firefighters who have been laid off as a result of cuts to the federal workforce,” per Senator’s spokesperson.

DOGE's funding is up to $40MM, @ProPublica.org finds And this: "If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend" www.propublica.org/article/doge...

ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...

It really fucking burns me that Hoffman, Joplin, Ledger, Belushi, Hendrix, and all those folks die of drug overdoses but this freak keeps on chugging.

Elon Musk’s day, everybody

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Know what’s not masculine? Lying that society is telling you to not drink a beer or tell jokes with your friends.

making “masculine urges” the central plank of your political party is really fucking weird

awwwww shit y'all, the flight attendants have entered the chat 🤘🤘🤘

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

what the absolute fuck

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

This is @murray.senate.gov's effort to track what Trump has cut. I'd love to crowdsource a way to make this a point of exchange, to collect info from contractors who've gotten cut off, and match it to what she's learning as Appropriations Ranking. www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minorit...

Man I really want whatever Hakeem Jeffries gig is because I know he's mad paid. Just stand up there & be like look, I can't do shit, I'm not gonna do shit. What, you suggest I do shit? Naw I don't feel like doing shit. And just like be able to be really well dressed with property off that.

I can’t get over the fact that the GOP’s base is filled with people who honest to god believe in the possibility of an antichrist and yet nothing about these guys trips their radar.

It's not that they don't understand how the government is constitutionally structured, it's that they're actively opposed to it.

It’s time to start watching The Great North!!!

"The richest man alive, an actual Nazi and a fucking sicko, who was not elected, is firing tens of thousands of people to further enrich himself and the president he has usurped all to make Americans' lives worse" has to be among the biggest layups of all time for messaging. And yet.

A Mount St. Helens ranger. A plant scientist on the rolling hills of The Palouse. An entire staff of backup crews meant to support front line firefighters during a raging wildfire. Across the PNW, the Trump administration gutted most of them. Here is their story: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Rules 1. MAGA do not care about contradictions, everything that they do is transactional, they are nihilists and are ONLY concerned with money and power 2. NOTHING that they say is true and they don't care at all, they understand the first-message advantage 1/

Pretty fucking stoked for this show next week in Portland.

Tim Kaine on Fox News Sunday: Why isn't Trump getting the Republican leaders down in the White House and saying, 'here's what we're gonna do'? He's making all these cuts without Congress because he doesn't even think the Republican leadership will go along with him

Honestly I don’t blame them.
