He nails it.

this is very funny - and also deeply terrifying www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLWL...

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Fox News discovers the purpose of government agencies.

We really, really, really don't www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWs1...

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

new levels of cringe at CPAC

Accurate.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

It’s a cult.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

Never forget.

This is what MAGA does www.newsweek.com/texas-school...

Gotta love the British press! 🇬🇧

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Seen just now at CPAC… The most un-American party of all time.

Harris called it; Trump sold out Europe, Poland, and the United States to Putin the first chance he got. #TraitorTrump

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director. He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/kash-patel-in-his-own-words

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Checking my bank account every day for a deposit from the government since I've been hearing about all the money they've been saving lately. Nothing yet but it's probably coming soon

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

More of this please (from Rep Cesar) Per usual, TrumpMusk accuse others of what they themselves are doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJj...

couldn't be any clearer.

This wasn’t some liberal holdover. This wasn’t a career bureaucrat. This was someone Trump’s team installed. And even she couldn’t stomach what they were doing. She wasn’t alone. Five more federal prosecutors resigned in protest. Bless their courage!

Knowledge is power…

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

Captures it perfectly.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

This genius still thinks that a tariff means that we're "charging" the other country

We are nearing a precipice.

This is probably the most accurate take.

It's the Gulf of Mexico, and it will always be the Gulf of Mexico, no matter how many deluded fucks try to rename it, and I truly hope all other news organizations stand in solidarity with Associated Press against the insane bullshit.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
