Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

#Krasnov I would love it if this # goes viral... And better yet.. he will hate it...

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Trump’s approval numbers are going down faster than Lauren Boebert on a first-date.

Such a wonderful article on anti-propaganda Social Security. Thank you Kathleen & CBPP!

That Trump is now calling Pres. Zelensky a “dictator” and it talked the U.S. into spending $350 billion (a lie) for a war Ukraine started (another disgusting lie) should remind you the White House occupant is mentally deranged and must be opposed at all times.

More than a few Dems could learn something about courage by watching AOC stand up to Homan. They could learn a lot about putting forth a narrative with effective messaging besides.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

To all the people who did not understand the lyrics during Kendrick show, here they are. BTW, I boycotted the Super Bowl, but I watched a clip of his performance tonight and was so impressed.

This nutter.

Have any of these DOGE employees completed a background investigation? Have they been given access to the agency’s sensitive compartmented information facility? What protocols are being utilized to protect our national security interests? Members of Congress must demand answers now.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

For those who worked so hard to hold them accountable... Pardons will not erase The nights they spent in jail Family and friends disgusted by their behavior Attorney fees and the fact that every time someone googles their name, they will see their crimes, and history will remember them

Nothing terrifies fascists more than mockery. It strips away the illusion of power and reveals them for what they really are: clowns in expensive suits.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his. It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this. I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

I just banned ice cream and then reinstated it. My kids are not amused.

Strange, I've always heard that addressing a small crowd will make your hands look bigger.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

With Project 2025 architect Russell Vought helming the Trump White House’s budget office, Medicare and Social Security could take massive damage—despite Trump’s campaign pledge not to harm either program. Your reminder that Project 2025 was always the MAGA Agenda.

Trump’s tax plan is unpopular. Americans oppose giving tax cuts to the rich and big corporations while shifting the burden to the middle class. Workers believe Trump’s tax proposals will hurt people like them. navigatorresearch.org/a-plurality-...

Thou shalt not declare war on facts just because they always prove you wrong and stupid as fuck.

It would be such a shame if everyone shared this: t.co/Uiza8Loc8C

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

Amplifying

I too won't use his name and instead only use der Fuhrer. I'm not sure why but so far everyone knows exactly who I'm referring to.

Well said

Keep your hands off Social Security and Medicare.

FYI the “Op” we discuss i was how HAMAS, Russia Iran, and Syria thought Oct 7 would be a massive victory … today not so much. A great conversation on the changing Middle East balance of power with @cliffschecter.bsky.social

When Fox News reported that the truck that plowed through NYE celebrants in New Orleans had recently crossed the southern border, it wasn’t as if it had pursued leads that turned out to be untrue. It did what it always does—pushing disinformation to stir hate, the goal of Roger Ailes from the start.

NEVER FORGET: Senator Lindsey Graham calls Social Security and Medicare "ENTITLEMENTS" (THEY'RE EARNED BENEFITS) & wants to cut them because he doesn't NEED them. Lindsey Graham is the EPITOME of ENTITLED. When his sister NEEDED his parents Survivor Benefits he didn't say "no, we don't want them."😡

NEWSFLASH: Social Security & Medicare are funded by US! It is OUR money.

E. Jean Carroll told trump no, but he sexually assaulted her anyway. Greenland tells trump they're not for sale, but he continues to push the issue. I'm seeing a pattern here. NO MEANS NO.

This H1B dustup reminds me why I retired from lucrative Tech TelcoEngineer & later a SystemsAnalyst career in my 50s even tho I was making more $ than I've ever made. It's this kind of corp world BS and jackholes like Vivek & Elon acting like bullying gods when they know nothing abt American workers

Blah blah blah blame the Democrats for recession that wasn’t & the chaos TRUMP plans to create. He really wants that debt ceiling money.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service. #ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

Something about this whole Elon Musk referring to maga as subtard thing. Elonia being a billionaire is shielded from 99% of maga. So does that mean his low opinion of maga is solely based on his Mar A Lago maga & TRUMp family encounters. Hmmmm......

Billionaires own everything, even reality itself. For example, a hospital is understaffed, the nurses overworked. A patient’s family member doesn’t get seen for over two hours. Who is to blame? The nurses? The family…for getting mad? No. Greed is to blame.

I'm former TelecomEngineer & later a SystemsAnalyst & worked with many capable H1B peers making <25%. Revolving door, they're there 6mo-1yr to pad their resume & willing to work like slaves/leave. Corp then forced US employees do the shitty long-term support work. It's ALL About $, F*ck-Vivek/Elon

I just heard someone refer to Elon Musk as “Phony Stark” and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂😂
