When a Rupert Murdoch-owned paper has to point out the obvious to the sitting President, you know times are rough.

Please be aware. USAID’s probe into Starlink is why did it “go down” just as important military maneuvers were underway by Ukraine. The investigation can reach no conclusions when the agency has been closed.

A warning indeed.

Mike Pence actually spoke up.

“Social Security’s software system based on the COBOL programming language, which has a lack of date type. This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birthdates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago.” apnews.com/article/soci...

Another way to look at it…

It is not about efficiency!

This is who we are on the world stage now.

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Dear Lord…

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.

He handed over the electronic keys, and he has no idea how they work.

Trump made it clear early on that we no longer respected sovereignty of other nations. But this a new level of gross and disrespect. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

When the lawyers speak up, you know it’s bad.

When the Executive (and their randomly appointed associates, Elon) says it won’t listen to the other two branches of government, we have a serious problem. See constitutional crisis.

It’s all we can do. But fight however you can, at every step.

The insanity is as real as the lies.

Stand strong! ❤️🇺🇸

The insanity is real

Indeed.

WA is such a beautiful place to live! ❤️

They are considering Taliban-style research restrictions per USC prof. www.rawstory.com/amp/trump-fl...

Collette has had enough of my sh*t ❤️

For those, like me, who have wondered how DOGE can be operating as a Government Agency without Congressional approval, it is because Trump simply renamed the existing United States Digital Service. www.npr.org/2025/02/04/n...

Everyone is lining up to be their worst selves. Facebook ends fact-checking, Google drops a pledge not to use AI to spy or create weapons. Scary times. truthout.org/articles/goo...

Trump plans to send US citizens to prisons in foreign countries. truthout.org/articles/tru...

Beware both Apple and T-Mobile are adding StarLink to your phone. Time to switch?

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

My daily ride or die. ❤️

My grandma’s brother, Johnny. A sailor & engineer, he worked at Lake Union Steam Plant. About to get a Master’s at MIT but died on his sailboat. My grandmother said an accident; her cousin said a suicide; he was gay & living openly was not an option. I think of him when gay rights are in peril.
