Exactly two people are celebrating the United States’ great abdication: Trump and Putin. The world weeps. Europe acts. And decades of U.S. leadership have been lost.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

This moment isn't about men, women, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, or the LGTBQ community. It's about U.S. citizens. The sooner...we shed the fragmentation...and come together in this fight against fascism...as Americans...the sooner our true power will strike fear into those who would crush us.

This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

None of this is about "efficiency." Mass firings occurred at the CFPB this week — one of the most efficient federal agencies. The goal here is to gut the government entirely and remove any obstacles to the continued consolidation of wealth and power by the oligarchs.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

Project 2025 architect Russell Vought was just confirmed as Director of OMB. He wants to dismantle the federal government and now, because of the GOP, he’s running it. Every Republican voted for him. They own the harm he’s about to do to millions of families across the country.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.
