This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

An American Airlines flight arriving at Reagan Airport was forced to abort its landing to avoid another aircraft today, less than a month after a midair collision killed 67 people near the same airport and 90 minutes before another close call between a passenger plane and a private jet in Chicago.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

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.

Claiming that DOGE will improve America’s debt crisis is a convenient way to frame the project as a service to the American people, @lorakelley.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily. But DOGE’s current efforts aren‘t likely to make a dent in the deficit.

Debating reactionaries is never a good idea You might win on 'facts', but you'll always lose politically: they are not arguing in good faith, they want their ideas to become seen as acceptable in public discourse And by debating them, you're giving them what they want It really is that simple
