These guys will destroy the planet. www.defense.gov/News/Release... DOD will once again resource warfighting and cease unnecessary spending that set our military back under the previous administration, including through so-called "climate change" and other woke programs

whyy.org/articles/don... Trump: “It would be very, very cumbersome to go and look at 1,500 people”. Peter Schwartz had a “jaw-dropping criminal history of 38 prior convictions going back to 1991” when he assaulted police officers with pepper spray on Jan. 6.

Trump's moves are not popular. jabberwocking.com/trump-is-dro...

Dems making it easy for Republicans by allowing voice votes at 4 am because they are sleepy.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Boren overall was a good man and politician but some of his centrist positioning harmed his legacy. His failure to take Anita Hill's side was among the worst. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

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"

He "flips the script." No, he surrenders an ally to the enemy. He surrenders to Putin. Baker, of course. #BrokenTimes. Trump Flips the Script on the Ukraine War, Blaming Zelensky Not Putin www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

It’s emigration, not immigration, that should worry Americans because people wanting to leave, even if a relatively small number actually do it, is a sign that this country is losing its capacity to address even its most pressing problems. newrepublic.com/article/1914...

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

This effing guy.

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

China is electrifying faster than any other economy in the world. It has correctly apprehended that electricity is the future and the country that gets there first & develops the best electrification tech will win the 21st century. The US is held back in this race by its domestic O&G industry.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

We are the League of Conservation Voters. 🌎 Since 1970, we have built political power to protect people and the planet, including helping win the largest climate investment EVER in 2022. But we need your help to defend our progress from the Trump adminstration. Can you repost & give us a follow?

The Musk Ad The Wash Post Refused To Run Today #ABlueView🧵1/3 "Washington Post refuses to run $115K ad titled ‘Fire Elon Musk" tinyurl.com/yrmhbmf9 It would be a shame if you reposted this as more people will see the ad. And your Senators don't want to hear from you either!

America's first gender neutral bathroom was Rush Limbaugh's gravesite.

The people who made the tv show “The Apprentice” have more to answer for every single day.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.

Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children. Truly a triumph of time management.

The last arch of Portal Bridge made its way down the Hudson today (well, it's still on the way as of posting!). Managed to catch it again at Poughkeepsie.

None of the MSM coverage I've seen of RFK's confirmation comes close to explaining how loony he is and how loony this is. And they worry about losing trust.....

But they can’t figure out why Democratic voters are upset with them!

Parking minimums for bars is such a spectacular failure of car dependency
