Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Disgusting in every way

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

Trump just promoted a guy under investigation for unauthorized data access—Leland Dudek—to run Social Security. Now, Musk’s DOGE team wants to gut it, slash 50% of workers, and close offices. This isn’t efficiency—it’s an attack on Social Security from the inside. youtu.be/ly4b_pQBbMc

Да (da) - "Rush-in" for YES That hat fits him perfectly 🎯

💯 Agree ! All of their support for him and especially their vote - IS UNFORGIVABLE

The travel ban has been lifted for the Tate brothers. They’re leaving Romania and headed to Florida thanks to Donald Trump. They were arrested in 2022 and charged with human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering and starting an organized crime group. Beyond DISGUSTING.

Women can do it while bleeding, nursing, cramping, aching, crying, fighting. Women are badasses. F the GOP.

Measles was fully eradicated in America, but vaccine misinformation from RFK Jr. and others is leaving more children unprotected against this highly contagious, life-threatening virus. Please vaccinate your children to prevent heartbreaking tragedies like this. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

On the HHS Leadership call today: 1 employee from CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Service) and 2 employees from SSA (Social Security Administration) have died by suicide after their firing.

No single person did more to end democracy and roll back civil rights in America than this white supremacist right here. Now and forever, that is how he should be remembered—the 21st century white supremacist who returned the United States to Jim Crow America.

🚨 NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went to California for a photo op against a state-federal high-speed rail project. Instead, he was drowned out by boos as crowds rallied for the project. Maybe he should focus on keeping planes in the sky instead of staging stunts for the Dear Leader.

Georgia’s experimental alternative to Medicaid expansion has cost taxpayers more than $86M. Georgia’s experience offers a warning for the nation as conservatives attempt to curtail federally subsidized health care for low-income Americans, per Project 2025. thecurrentga.org/2025/02/19/g...

Trump and his henchman, Rubio, Waltz and Ritkoff have forced us to become ghoulish partners with thug war criminals as they figuratively took a bonesaw to Ukraine's resources, dividing war spoils amongst themselves, fittingly, in Riyadh. A dishonorable national disgrace. America is not great.

These cowardly puppets would’ve stayed mute if their guy had blamed Poland for Germany’s 1939 invasion — something not even Adolf Hitler dared to do www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

BREAKING: President Trump endorses the House budget, supporting major cuts to Medicaid despite recent assurances that he wouldn't touch it.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

"One casualty of the mass firings across federal health agencies are regulators who ensure drugs for pets and livestock are safe and effective." Not even our pets are safe anymore from this Trump Administration. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
