Hey I think I found some waste fraud and abuse.

Cool new ally Americans have now

Trump ordering a $200 million ad campaign to flatter Trump. We're laying off CDC personnel, parks personnel, VA workers, air-traffic safety personnel, while spending taxpayer money on publicly kissing Trump's ass. Just ridiculous. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Here's a straight line: In 2019, Pete Hegseth encouraged President Trump to pardon accused war criminals. In 2025, Pete Hegseth and President Trump fired the military's top legal officers.

Which would you rather have: functioning air traffic control & cancer research OR $400+ million in CyberTruck orders & $200+ million ad campaign idolizing Trump? Musk/Trump are not saving US money, they are reallocating it to themselves at a great cost to US.

Is the legacy media going to report on the Nazi salutes at CPAC or....?

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

Hegseth's racism is the story. @expressnews.com gets that. “C.Q. Brown isn’t chief of staff because he’s Black,” Rand said in 2020. “C.Q. Brown is chief of staff of the USAF because he is an incredible officer & leader.. and I would follow him into hell.” www.expressnews.com/news/article...

There is nothing about the officers being purged that suggests any particular political ideology or partisan affiliation, and that's why they're being purged. It's not about replacing "woke" liberals or Democrats. It's about replacing professional nonpartisan neutrals with MAGA-hatted lickspittles.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

"People sometimes present the Nazis as a horror because they were uniquely evil and headed a uniquely oppressive and totalizing regime. But often the most chilling thing about Nazi Germany is that it really wasn’t a fantasy movie dystopia populated by supervillains. The Nazis were just people."

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

its genuinely insane that they're firing CJCS for being black and CNO for being a woman. that is what's happening here

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

really don’t know how a reasonable person interprets this as anything other than gutter racism

Again, earnest sociological question - I'm wondering what threshold neds to be reached for corporate media to begin using the words "fascism" "authoritarianism" or "oligarchy" in reference to our current situation? This also refers to the Nazi salutes, plural at this point.

calling what trump is doing in ukraine appeasement is excessively kind to trump and grotesquely unfair to chamberlain et al. for all his faults, chamberlain wasnt rooting for hitler.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I think a lot of elites have performed a kind of self-capture. Journalists who self-ID as journalists because it’s who they are, not what they do. Basically “I’m a journalist therefore whatever I do is journalism” instead of “I do journalism therefore I’m a journalist.”

We are in rapid descent toward Putin's Russia, where you have to do business with regime allies or face persecution

I know I’ve seen people I like get their hackles up about this, like “don’t tell me I have to get off twitter to be a good person.” Make whatever excuses you want, but it’s official state media controlled by the fascist destroying the government with a wrecking ball and you’re helping enrich him.

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

Make no mistake, America fully supports this policy www.ft.com/content/d731...

I can't say I see the point of this kind of reporting, where you just credulously repeat the lies people are telling you about a question everyone knows the answer to. Who's running DOGE, the fake department Elon Musk invented and talks about running every day? I guess we'll never really know!

They are selling out Ukraine for chump change because it makes you sad. They are taking away education and healthcare from starving Africans because it makes you sad. They are ruining our relationships with our neighbors and allies to make you sad. Their entire foreign policy is that they hate you.

This is a concerning milestone. Bringing new investigations and prosecutions is different than just dismissing cases against allies.

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract. ca.news.yahoo.com/senior-u-pro...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
