The world needs a wake up call!

It’s borderline criminal.

Is America great again yet?

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Give it all to the rich! itep.org/a-distributi...

What happened to the Separation of Powers?

I have no sympathy. Zero fucks to give.. Colbert is right about the turd soup. This is just a "Thank you sir, may I have another" by the stupid cult.

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it. Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

BREAKING: The S&P 500 has now completely erased all gains since the election, wiping out $3.4 trillion in market value. Make America great again!

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Slotkin: While we are on the subject of Elon Musk, is there anyone in America who's comfortable with him and his gang using his own computer servers to poke to your tax returns, your health information, your bank accounts?

This.

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful. Most Americans don't support his agenda. There will be backlash — and we must make sure it is swift.

One more time for the people in the back.

TONIGHT: One Big, Beautiful Speech of Lies. Don’t forget to grab your Bingo cards ⬇️

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Is this what they meant by a Red Wave?

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Keep booing him. He’s getting pissed. Let him go off the rails.

Elon Musk is grifting off the American taxpayers. The government waste and fraud are right here.

"You should be hired on the basis of merit." For some reason, the camera did not cut to Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, or Tulsi Gabbard.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

This may be the fastest Presidency to recession in American history

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

A reminder for these times.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

BREAKING: The Democratic Party sues Trump over his attempt to control the Federal Election Commission, the agency that enforces campaign finance laws, arguing it could enable him to influence agency decisions in favor of the Republican Party.

Marco Rubio today.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com
