At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Happy lazy #Caturday frens. Take it easy, enjoy life, hug your loved ones, take a deep breath. ❤️

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

This is exciting - look what just arrived (pre-orders help!):

Hey Nikki, maybe you should stop kissing the asses of Nazis when it benefits you and then calling these same Nazis out after the fact, Imbecilic ...

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Looking like a dork aside, hurting grandma, the economy, and the military without much thought is definitely peak MAGA.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Just a reminder This is the Gulf of Mexico

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

No doubt BatshitBobby will chalk this up to another conspiracy by the US Government, denying zoonotic origins. www.forbes.com/sites/kather...

Your mental health comes first, always. No relationship, not even family, should come at the cost of your peace. It’s okay to walk away from toxicity, to set boundaries, and to put yourself first. Healing starts with choosing what’s best for you.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Love to see it!

How many Park Ranger salaries could this have paid for? lhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

The next RFK Jr. conspiracy theory.

This hits hard.

Words fail.

DC police are mounting a criminal investigation of an alleged assault of a woman by GOP Rep. Cory Mills, who represents a district near Orlando. The incident started at a penthouse in a luxury DC apartment building. Mills, who’s married and has two kids, apparently had a fight with his girlfriend.

Per Trevor Reed: “Ukraine needs to: 1. Ignore the US completely and refuse all US/Russia negotiations 2. Push for Europe to release frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine 3. Make a deal with Europe for continued support 4. Get European troops on the Belarusian border to free up their forces”

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

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?

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Thank you, Janet Mills. This is how all our elected officials everywhere should be confronting Trump's authoritarian "we are the law" sentiment. Head on.

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Savage Trump own from Justin Trudeau after Canada beat the US in the Four Nations Face-Off final. Everything Trump Touches Dies. Bravo, Canada! 🇨🇦

Canada wins…

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

I bet maple syrup was flying on the walls last night when Trump watched Canada beat the United States. O Canada! 🍁 🇨🇦

Listen folks. This idiot in the @wsj.com thinks the “left” will cancel elections… based on suppressing conspiracy theories by the “Main Street press”. This is how the right gaslights. This guy is dangerously stupid. apple.news/AQcetw7KRSpq...
