REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

I did not know the USPS was the largest employer of vets...now they are about to all lose their jobs. 5calls.org #RISE #REVOLT #REVOLUTION2025 #OpUSA

Yes CAROL or Karen

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

"The state of Maine will not be intimidated by the president's threats," Gov. Janet Mills said after a public exchange over Trump's attack on trans athletes. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-t...

So the President of the United States threatened the governor of Maine, in public, acting like the monarch he thinks he is. The story is nowhere to be found on the homepage of the WaPo or WSJ; the NYT has a small story buried deep down with a headline that makes it look the governor picked on POTUS.

Maine Gov. refuses to be bullied: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Trump employs mob tactics once again and threatens Maine governor with defunding for not breaking the law and complying with his illegal executive order banning Trans people from sports but she stands her ground. He hates when women stand up to him. Weak little man child.

Oklahoman: Weapons grade fascist asshole, OK Director of Education Ryan Walters attacked weapons grade fascist asshole Gov Stitt’s plan for windmill power, so Stitt attacked Walters’ requirement that school children disclose immigration status when enrolling. The feud is on. Cannibal cockroaches.

Oklahoman: OK state sen Dusty Deevers, Baptist preacher, said “May Jesus be praised”, then presented 3 bills: 1. To create covenant marriages, a legally binding contract for lifetime marriages and no exit possible 2. Sharp restrictions on divorce 3. Women getting abortions is murder Nope X 3. Yay

In a Friday WH meeting, a blustering Trump demanded Maine Gov Janet Mills comply with his exec order banning trans from college women’s sports. Mills, defiantly: I’m complying with state and federal law Trump: You better comply or no federal funding Mills: See you in court More balls than any GOP.

Trump voter, and IRS employee, Robert McCabe, is shocked and outraged that DOGE just fired his ass, saying Trump and Musk are act like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason”. See, he’s one of those people, if it ain’t happening to him, it ain’t happening.

WAPO: Fired by Trump one month into his tenure as acting ICE Director, Carlos Vitello has been blamed by the aggressively stupid border czar Tom Homan and Ms Pointless Photo Op Kristi Noem for failing to meet deportation quotas. Because Homan and Noem know they’re next. Schadenfreude.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

WAPO: One month into Caleb Vitello’s tenure as acting ICE Director, Trump has fired him because ICE wasn’t arresting and deporting immigrants fast enough. One Month. 🤣🙄 It hasn’t helped that ICE has not been able to hire more staff, nor received a larger budget, to ramp up to meet Trump’s boasting.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Elon Musk's super PAC donated $1 million to support conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel. Schimel's opponent, liberal candidate Susan Crawford, criticized the donation, alleging Schimel is being bought. I think — or hope! — Musk’s attempt to influence this race will backfire.

@teenvogue.com has more journalistic integrity than @nytimes.com 💅🏽

The Beginning Signs of Trump 2025 Recession

Two things I will never believe if I live to be 100: That Trump's 'assassination' attempt wasn't staged. That he won the 2024 election. Every day I become more sure.

🤬National Science Foundation administrators reclassified hundreds of employees from permanent to probationary status in violation of labor contracts, according to a U.S. lawmaker and agency employee.

It's been THREE MONTHS since Justice Allison Riggs won reelection to the North Carolina Supreme Court, but the Republican candidate refuses to concede & is suing to throw out +60,000 votes. Donate to & share the legal fund below to support NC Democratic Party fight to protect NC voters!

New Republic: After Musk said the two astronauts stuck on the space station were being held for political reasons, Danish astronaut Andreas Mogenson posted on Twitter: “What a lie. And from someone who complains about a lack of honesty in media”. 5 year old Musk exploded. “You are fully retarded”.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Saturday accused Vice President JD Vance of unacceptably interfering in his country’s imminent elections on behalf of a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis 80 years ago. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

The layoff notice to a CDC employee whose latest performance review was 4.75 out of 5. “Unfortunately, the Agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency’s current needs ..." www.ajc.com/news/health-...

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mcc...

Daily Beast: Republican Georgia Rep Rich McCormick, who said if school children want school lunches they should work at McDonald’s, held a town hall, and was shocked at the fury of hundreds of constituent; boo’s, catcalls, groans, Oh, come on, We’re pissed, Don’t Bend Over, no kings, etc.

Daily Beast: Trump Asst Atty General Emil Bove menacingly told federal judge Dale Ho that the DOJ will overlook crimes committed by other public officials if it furthers Trump’s agenda.

Daily Beast: Trump’s proposed tariffs will cost American consumers $272 Billion per year, triggering wild inflation. Trump is so aggressively stupid that he cannot grasp the fact that his tariffs are a tax on the American people. So are his red hats.

Daily Beast: Howard Luttnick imperiously told Fox News that Trump will abolish the IRS and income tax, and, in some megalomaniacal pipe dream, he will create an “External Revenue Service” to somehow force other countries to fund America en toto. Good luck with that, Howard.🙄

CNN: US Marshal Services has deputized Musk’s private security goons.

Vanity Fair: “They’re scared shitless. These are the heirs of the greatest generation, and they turned out to be the worst generation.” Milt Romney’s Chief Strategist Stuart Stevens, on Republican leadership.
