Evidently it’s woke to protect Americans from scams and fraud. This administration is hellbent on robbing us. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

I remember when conservatives lost their minds over “death panels” due to a plan for <checks notes> affordable health care. 🙄 But now, not a peep. www.usnews.com/news/health-...

The “False” signs are a nice touch. Every single democrat should find a way to get kicked out of this deplorable speech. #GoodTrouble

I am drinking wine and eating chocolate, hoping it will help me get through the disaster of a presidential (or Elon Muck) address. (Muck was a typo but I kinda like it). Stay sane, all you lovely woke watching the speech. 🍷🍫

The only nice thing I can say about FOTUS, his billionaire henchman, and his VP is that all are humans which means eventually they will all die. Not soon enough but it will happen. And that keeps me sane.

Trump and Vance are clueless about respect and diplomacy. They are bullies. On steroids. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/28/t...

So, the current regime (and I use that word purposely) is targeting DEI by firing “diversity hires” (e.g., women, disabled, Black people, and other members of minority populations) experienced in their current jobs and putting in their places literally unqualified white men. Do you see the irony?

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

Elon is dangerous AF. He is an admirer of Putin. Putin must be looking on with glee as his plan for America unfolds. We are being put in harms way by this asshat sucking up $8 million A DAY in taxpayer money. #Oligarchy #Kleptocracy #kakistocracy #BadDoge www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Many of the institutions and funding cuts made by DOGE will affect RED states. Which will then give the current administration a cudgel against BLUE states when funding is piece-meal and arbitrarily reinstated…for RED states only.

This is the Saturday Night Massacre on steroids. Law and order is no longer the goal of the Justice Department. The FBI will be restocked with untrained goons loyal to a grifting liar with retaliation as the goal. All this and a trade war too. Damaging national security while picking our pockets.

The USA is the most powerful nation on earth. When we pull foreign aid, we cede power in those regions. Foreign aid is NOT charity. It comes with strings attached and benefits for US. Charity is the job of charitable organizations. It’s never been the job of the US government. #ChaosIsThePoint
