Current Republicans make me sick to my stomach. They all need to go.

This tweet from Elon Musk is, of course, false. The first known victim of DOGE died around February 2 after the refugee hospital that was giving her oxygen shut down. But the tweet will be useful as there's abundant proof he's lying (or ill-informed) about Ebola & restarting payments.

These tariffs are an unjustified, direct attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. (1/4)

This about sums it up. But I would add, in the case of the government of the United States, because they can’t be trusted themselves.

“Hey, I’m all for cutting waste. But Elon’s approach is as smart as having WWII bombers randomly carpet-bomb the country. He’s missing his targets, and to the extent he’s hitting stuff, he’s destroying things that help the country. Not to mention it’s all illegal, he’s nuts—and no one elected him.”

If this is true, then Elon is taking the third rail of American politics and shoving it down Trump’s throat.

Russian hackers infiltrate our system *every* day. They are constantly looking for persistence (long term access) in our critical infrastructure. If Hegseth thinks that they’re going to stop just because we do, he’s even more out of his depth than I thought.

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.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

The big lie circulating in US RW media is that Zelensky was disrespectful. The big truth from the actual tape is that Vance and Trump were disrespectful, dishonest, abusive with raised voices, misleading, and attempted to humiliate and have him bend the knee in front of them. He calmly refused.

A fundamental problem is the Democrats are utterly committed to the fallacy that public opinion polls are politics. This has destroyed their ability to actually do politics. 1/

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

On days like this, I cannot forgive or forget the utter incompetence of Merrick Garland who sat on his ass for 2 years and did NOTHING to bring that felon Trump to justice OR Fani Willis who fucked up her timeline to convict because she couldn't keep it in her pants like a decent professional DA
