Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Someone should get the Vice King a copy of the Constitution. Since he can’t read, please make it the audio version. To think this guy is only a heart attack away from the presidency makes me shudder.

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.

Scrap OSHA??? Why? Bc they do not care about YOU, the worker. Their aim is to empower the employer- ALWAYS and ONLY. They will strip YOU of all your protections and rights. (Yes, 🟠 supporters, too.) Leon is desperately trying to accomplish this right now. www.newsweek.com/republican-c...

West Point orders certain student groups to disband in compliance with Trump EO. The list includes Asian-Pacific Forum, National Society of Black Engineers, Native American Heritage Forum, and Society of Women Engineers. Reporters covering mil, defense, natsec beats... seems like a big deal.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Dems came out swinging today. Make sure people see this. We are not going to sit around while you go ahead and desecrate our constitution, or you look at the laws that have been passed into law and say, never mind, we'll just ignore that.

We are almost two weeks in, and cannot find any authoritative source that can answer one critical question: who does Elon Musk work for? Does he work for the United States government as an employee? As a contractor? It really does matter. And American should know the answer.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

American news organizations are a joke. A waste of your time. Obsessed with politics as sport. BBC is providing far more coverage and perspective to important events happening around the world. Who the hell gives a fuck about a biography on Giuliani? This is what you choose to air??

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia
