Backlash after Trump shares AI-video of Gaza with skyscrapers, topless Netanyahu and bearded bellydancers

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

This is the way.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Done with MSNBC. Why aren’t you? @maddow.msnbc.com @jenpsaki.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com

They are not “Trump’s lawyers.” They are US Attorneys and their oath is to the Constitution. Including freedom of the press.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

POV: You're 16, believe being in advanced placement math class means you're a once in a generation genius, and have just discovered Reddit.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Who loves GovTrack for watching Congress? They're working on a Kickstarter to do the same for the White House. Let's get them to their goal of $60K!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gov...

Let's start a thread of favorite names for Elon Musk I'll start with this banger from Byline Supplement today SISSY SPACE X

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

How lucky are we that Bluesky exists during this moment

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If it's not a backbone for elected Democrats, then I'm not interested.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Just one thousandth of what they said! No big deal.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I suspect we’re going to be hearing more stories about failing farmers having their land bought for cheep—it’s not a coincidence. Is this why USAID was cut—to make way for billionaires?! Watch til the end and keep an eye on national parklands too. 🧵

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Headline: Exploding rocket company to oversee changes to airplane safety. buff.ly/3X86gt4

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Wow, this is outrageous! DOGE claims they found fraud where 150 year olds were receiving Social Security! What a joke these incompetent, inexperienced folks running this department are! #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Thinking of all the DFL fundraising emails I got last week telling me how they masterfully negotiated for everything they wanted. Demuth is going to burn it all down. And we handed her the match.

Yesterday I helped my college kid do his taxes. He worked hard last year and made a whopping $19K (all for school). He also got a good scholarship which got taxed. He ended up paying $700. While Edolf makes $8M+ per day off the USA.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

#MN01 @repfinstad.bsky.social says Congratulations ???? The #TrumpAdministration has begun firing federal employees including at least 2,400 Dept of Agriculture employees ... last week, notices were sent to Food and Nutrition Service workers. FNS programs focus on Women, Infants and Children #WIC

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

What would you be doing right now if good had prevailed? Knowing what could have been just guts me.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

I need someone to answer this damn question!

This will inform everything that happens next.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

BREAKING: White House confirms it has lost at least 12 cases, at least temporarily, since becoming president. Acting illegally and losing cases is a hallmark of Trump.
