Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

It is your patriotic duty to listen to this speech. Every single word. An essential guide to the deep, unfathomable corruption the new Trump administration is carrying out on a daily basis.

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

Told ya.

"Republican lawmakers heckle and shout because they know it works...Why wasn't anyone besides Rep. Al Green calling him out loudly on the House floor? And why didn't anyone else get up and walk out when he was kicked out of the Chambers?... ...Talk Like People, Not Politicians."

Primary all these people. Not fit for purpose. Enablers of fascism.

Ronald Reagan was a horrible president who demonized marginalized communities, gutted the welfare state, enriched cronies, and committed a laundry list of impeachable crimes. I long for a Democratic Party that rightly understands that a comparison to him should be an insult.

If you ever worked for a federal agency that DOGE has on the chopping block, especially the lesser known ones, please tell us about the work they do on behalf of the American people. We need to understand what is being lost.

Why are Democratic leaders not going to red states. Why why why? Get it together!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

I appreciate this. But the loss of public goods and expertise is a harm to the nation. Privatization will not avert the harm. Essential services left to the highest bidder degrades the foundation needed for a healthy, sustainable nation.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...
