MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

This is the way.

US Attorney Danielle Sassoon’s single voice of principled protest should become a chorus loud enough to drown out the weasel-like treachery of Emil Bove on behalf of Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s co-presidency. Everyone needs to read her eloquent words: big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/athena/files...

There are a whole bunch of Senators who could learn a thing or two from Danielle Sassoon about putting the good of the country before their personal ambition.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

Nailed it 🏆

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does. So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose. No paywall. Please read & share: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cfpb-is-su...

Great point.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

Not for nothing, but announcing that the US is taking over Gaza the same week you’re neutering the FBI’s entire counterterrorism program isn’t that smart from a security perspective.

Imagine walking into any gen ed class on any college campus in the country and handing young folks random spreadsheets of organizations they are not familiar with and have never heard of and then telling them to "look for waste." That's what Elon Musk is doing. With your data attached.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

Exactly

Indeed

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

How petty can this administration be?!?

Still true…

Medicaid covers 41% of all USA births. Pro life party that constantly screams about "declining birth rates," won't fund universal healthcare, won't fund pre-K, won't fund child tax credit, won't fund school lunches, & now eliminates healthcare needed for 2 of every 5 babies. This will kill people.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I thought this was referring to current events…

Outstanding post and sickening at the same time. I hate this Trump regime and their bigoted cult.

In short, the only words you should say to ICE agents are to ask if they have a warrant for your arrest. If they do not, send them on their way. If they do, then request to speak with your lawyer and say no more to ICE.

Missouri’s new Republican Gov, Mike Kehoe says he is starting out by addressing crime in Missouri. Weird. 1) he backs Trump and his pardoning of insurrectionists who beat cops with flags. 2) the Missouri GOP has been in control for 22 years. If crime is out of control, who should we blame?
