When your net worth can drop $150B in 90 days and you are still the richest man in the world there is something wrong with the system.

A 25-year-old DOGE staffer violated Treasury policy by emailing unencrypted personal data to Trump admin officials This entire administration is a violation of policies. What do you expect from entitled elitists who've never been held accountable share.newsbreak.com/c4dw5lu0

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

"I don't care what the judges think" should be grounds for impeachment for any public official, but especially for key actors in the national security system.

Probably a smart move.

This is not going to blow over. @schumer.senate.gov You failed SPECTACULARLY. Millions of people, esp veterans will pay the price for your weakness. We demand new leadership capable of meeting the urgency of this moment. The life of our democracy and place alongside our allies, depends upon it.

I mean.

Schumer cancels his town halls

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

One of the best photos I have seen in response to “why don’t you wear a suit”

I think the vast majority here agree, but will anyone do anything?!?

“‘I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days.’”

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Was it Mr. Lutnick—the Baghdad Bob of trade negotiations for the United States—who said that Canada wasn’t showing that we were grateful? Are you kidding me? You’ve threatened our nation, and now you’re saying we’re not being grateful?

Homan: "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming."

She sure would have been.

We're taking #TeslaTakedown worldwide! Follow along if you're in: UK @teslatakedown.co.uk Australia @teslatakedownau.bsky.social Finland @teslatakedownfi.bsky.social And stay tuned—more regions are coming soon!

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work. Your threats will not intimidate us. Or silence us.

Trump is a felon who the court also found raped E. Jean Carroll— but okay. 🤷🏽

I was an undergrad in the 1990s, and I remember well the mania against "political correctness," and how it revealed the deep fragility of white heterosexual men. This piece documents that dynamic's shaping of the tech world. The roots of our current crisis run deep.

He used a blender to prepare baby chicks and mice to feed his hawks. Who does that?🤯 —— Caroline Kennedy warns senators of ‘predator’ RFK Jr. in searing letter www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I spent so much ink on Gitmo in my book about concentration camps because it was clear that by failing to eliminate detention there, this is where we've been headed for decades. What the US has already done is horrific, and in an unconstitutional no-man's-land, we face the possibility of much worse.

Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear. Disappoint them.

We share this country with some very unpleasant, stupid people.

NEW: The Chairperson for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency has sent a letter to the OPP advising they consult White House Counsel on the legality of ousting 17 inspectors general. 👀

The cost of Donold’s first deportation flights, carrying about 80 migrants each, cost up to $852,000 per trip.

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals. Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

Check out these peaceful protesters on the day of love!

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.

Anyone who is interested

I forsee a price jump in eggs coming. Georgia's first case of commercial bird flu is a ‘serious threat’ to ag industry www.alternet.org/bird-flu-geo...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Dear price of eggs Trump voters, Not only aren’t they any cheaper, there’s an actual shortage because of the raging Bird Flu we’re not getting any public information about because the food safety & public health agencies responsible for that shit have basically been shut down. Bravo.

Way to go, Doug!

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...
