Oligarchy. The Trump-Musk regime. “The US Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk’s private security detail, giving them certain rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents, three law enforcement officials familiar with the matter told CNN.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Bernie Sanders kicked of the #FightingOligarchy tour in Omaha last night but was in my home town Iowa City today! It’s TIME to #EATtherich !! www.youtube.com/live/AZKkuMZ...

Are the political waters ripe for a libral tea party-like move? Maybe so… I for one, would LOVE to see this. I’ve been super disappointed in Dems who do anything for their wealthy donors or reject social bills most Americans want. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2PpdFLx/

😓 Seriously, Elon… how are you doing, buddy? Calm down, bro… How about this… why don’t you just take a vacation & I dunno…. Never step foot on American soil again? Plz? www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

Luigi Mangione’s trial starts TODAY! www.youtube.com/live/qob8C0v...

Dems have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla & SpaceX- they should totally do that. Musk messes with us, we block the #welfareKingofDOGE theintercept.com/2025/02/17/e...

😡 The rich keep getting richer while Americans suffer. #GOPTraitors

BTW #Georgia remember Brad Raffensperger? That republican who upheld the law in Trump 1? Yeah… he’s pushing for some extreme voter suppression now… just proving we can’t trust any GOP in office. youtu.be/aNUMZSYF9m0?...

Farmers are feeling the pain, next- we all will, too. #BlameTrump #TrumpsProject2025 youtu.be/_3oXl_-viAg?...

👀

#Iowa Why do Republicans have to have their noses in everyone else’s business? They’re so hateful. “Wide-ranging GOP bill would remove gender identity protections from Iowa Civil Rights Act” www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

We need MORE of this! He should run for Congress, I’d vote for him.

💔Jocelyn Rojo Carranza! Jocelyn Rojo Carranza! Jocelyn Rojo Carranza! SAY HER NAME! Gainesville, Tx- she was 11, bullied by classmates, telling her they’d call ICE on her family & they’d be taken away (no report she was illegal)- that she killed her self. #BlameTrump #ThisIsNotWhatWeVotedFor

Some sick SOB are putting out the audio of migrants being imprisoned, as of us as a country of immigrants should rejoice in their pain. I don’t care if they are criminals, this is inhumane behavior.

I’d hate to be pregnant in #Texas

💔 The Trump regimes dehumanizing rhetoric kills people. Those that find happiness in this should see psych- bc it’s psychotic, hellish, anti-human behavior. #BlameTrump www.newsbreak.com/news/3817748...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Let’s briefly talk international politics… pretty simple: 👉Ukraine- Russia makes a power grab, lying, saying they’re Nazis getting ready to attack them; they kidnap their children, bomb their land, try to assassinate their Pres. Trump regime falls for their propaganda… 1/

I guess Elon Musk IS in charge of DOGE? Trump was down in Florida today, talking at some event and said he (Trump) created DOGE and put Musk in charge of it…

Ooo! Let’s see what DOGE is hiding!!! youtu.be/QHzyeOXUWgM?...

Just called- telling my GOP Rep & Senators to Impeach & Convict! EO "President and the Attorney General will interpret the law for the executive branch". #Iowa WE HAVE NO KINGS HERE. Rep Mariannete Miller-Meeks (202) 225-6576 Sen Joni Ernst (202) 224-3254 Sen Chuck Grassley (202) 224-3744

www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

So, Trump just went “I’m the King!” With his EO today, stating ONLY HE can interpret the law,  trying to take power from not only judges, but congress as well. #ConstitutionalCrisis commence.

ANOTHER Lithium Battery Plant is on FIRE!! Moss Landing, CA… I think this is 5 now in so many years. 1/ youtu.be/gLITYlBwuek?...

Crockett on Trump's relatively high approval: We've gotta do better at education. People don't understand. But you will understand when your Medicaid goes away. You will understand when planes continue to fall out of the sky... maybe Sleepy Joe is what we wanted, bc we could at least sleep at night.

Well, yeah! Duh, this is not a surprise. The GOP loves making people more poor.

@raskin.house.gov gives advice to fired federal workers: "Federal workers need to stay in very close touch with their unions and with the litigation that's going on, because we're wining in almost every case. In more than a dozen cases, there have been TROs and PIs issued against the Trump admin."

BTW- I would not feel safe traveling by air right now. I would actually feel even LESS safe if SpaceX took control. #FAA #DOGE

We want transparency Gov Kim Reynolds! Private school vouchers have been abused in other states & in fact cost tax payers MORE money than public schools. #Iowa iowastartingline.com/2025/02/18/s...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

More “accidental” firings by DOGE. #BirdFlu “USDA rushing to rehire key bird flu response workers mistakenly fired in Trump purge” www.press-citizen.com/story/news/h...

NEW: We compiled and confirmed a list of some of the top people working inside the govt under the banner of DOGE. We even uncovered a DOGE-branded chatbot on one of the employees’ personal websites. As always, reach us if you have a tip or know what’s going on. ✌️ techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/t...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

Official White House account on X posted this. It includes the sounds of chains and of someone climbing the steps onto a plane. So DOGE considers this (filming, editing, and posting of this video...setting aside the obvious grotesqueness of it) a good and worthy use of taxpayer funds?

Guys please help me get Cookie and Lacey out of Apple Valley Animal Shelter before they are killed today! Please repost them! Avanimals.org their bios are next to them!! It’s URGENT 🚨 TO save them!! Your help is greatly appreciated!

He’s golfing right now. Check back next week.

You know, it’s SUPER interesting that the GOP states, like mine (Iowa), have no interest in joining the AGs suing Musk/Trump/DOGE about that US Treasury data breach… 1/
