Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

Cutting USAID isn’t “draining the swamp,” it’s draining our influence. It feeds starving kids, supports U.S. farmers, & keeps fragile nations stable. Slash it, & China fills the void, our allies drift, & chaos grows. It’s not saving $, it’s losing power. Every $ will go to top 1% in tax cuts!

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

If your adversary can't believe their luck, either you're very, very bad at negotiating, or you don't think they're your adversary.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

European Parliament Member fact checks lardass!!

On this day in 1942, Executive Order 9066 authorized the internment of thousands of loyal Japanese American citizens. This act was a betrayal of our most sacred values as a nation. California stands for our fellow Americans, regardless of national origin or immigration status.

lol

I think liberals need to just start saying “I know you are but what am I” whenever 🍊 or his little followers launch an attack b/c 1. That’s how you win a toddler fight 2. As we all know by now, every accusation is an admission with them.

It really is this simple.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

I accidentally clicked on two separate f0x articles today and was wondering why what I was reading sounded off and then I realized the error.

And what is he saving us from? Acceptance for others to be who they are? A woman’s right to bodily autonomy? Hard working Americans who have federal jobs? Poor people??? The measles? I know what he isn’t saving us from racism, cruelty, inefficiency, and idiots.

I feel so bad for these people. Most people do care about the work they do and take pride in it. The way this administration dismisses anyone who isn’t a billionaire, is gross. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-o...

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

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...

There’s a recent video of Trump, I believe today w/him talking about the gilded age & how America was once this shining beacon. Again proving Trump has no understanding of the meaning behind gilded being a fake layer or facade of gold. Basically referring to a small group of ppl holding all the $$$

Working in HR I’ve been around a few corporate layoffs and I’ve never seen one this chaotic, thoughtless, or cruel. A country as big & important as the USA should not be this reckless & short-sighted. It is insane. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-o...

😓

lol and also 😢

Some federal employees got form emails saying they were fired, then saying the first email was in error, and then saying, yes, they were fired. Absolute clown show. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
