Amen to that.

He nails it.

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

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.

-The Question: How the hell did we get here? -The Answer: Citizens United.

People pay into Social Security all of their work lives, now it's 6.2% of your wages up to $176,100. Once you hit the mark of $176.1K per year, they now longer take out SS taxes. If there wasn't that maximum and people could pay 6.2% of everything, they earn a year, SS would remain solvent. Forever!

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

It's just sick that any government service is simply seen as a waste of tax dollars. It's the old Reagan idea that a tax dollar spent is theft.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This is just a reminder to you guys that on Gilligan's Island they listened to the professor, not the millionaire.

Why does the Tesla logo remind me of an IUD?

This is what oligarchy looks like.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Senile old failed reality TV star forgets who the president is ...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

I don't think that Musk got his government job based on merit.

Earlier today Elon Musk changed his Twitter name to “Harry Balls” and offered to perform discount circumcisions. This man is the de facto President of the United States.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Hoping.....

Suppose a year from now SCOTUS says he can’t unilaterally dissolve USAID or CFPB. Then what? The workforce can’t wait for that. Why would they come back to work under him? Who will reanimate the dead and restore the disfigured? How will we undo the advance of authoritarians who fill the void?

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

There’s a deep sorrow in looking back at an old version of yourself and wishing you had known better. The version of you who: Stayed too long in a relationship that hurt you. Silenced yourself to avoid conflict. Believed love had to be earned. It’s okay to grieve for the person you once were.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Americans pay almost 4x as much for medicine as citizens of other developed countries Hospitals and doctors charge more in the US Most developed countries control healthcare costs through government intervention, which eliminates the high administrative costs that drive up pricing in the US
