The Trump administration is canceling presentations including book talks on important civil rights issues at the Carter Center & possibly elsewhere. Let’s celebrate these authors by buying & reading their books. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

There is already a perfectly good Air Force One in place. So why is Trump intent on wasting taxpayer money? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

In the fight for women's reproductive rights, men can protest, vote, and... get a vasectomy?

Late yesterday, Trump issued an executive order that terminates HHS's Long COVID advisory committee. The committee's focus was bringing perspectives from outside government to inform action of the Executive Branch on Long COVID and other infection-associated chronic conditions.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Side eyes all the huge blue maga lib accounts who have been making memes that Bannon is an ally cause he hates Musk. 😐

“Some students asked, 'Are we going to practice like an [active shooter] drill for when ICE comes?'” How Trump’s immigration agenda is disrupting education around the country

Danny has been my friend since middle school. He’s been laying low & trying to live his life, but this issue forced him to post the below on FB. He was w/ DSS for 16 yrs & served all over also as a marine. Please share everywhere, per his request. 💙 abcnews.go.com/US/diplomati...

DOGE By The Numbers theonion.com/doge-by...

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

In Westminster it's all about who you know

Idk feels like the president declaring himself King ought to be A1 headline stuff

Musk is pouring $1.5 million into Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court race.

The DHS will use polygraphs to question employees about communications with the media or nonprofit organizations in an effort to root out members of the resistance.

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

This paragraph from @washingtonpost.com's reporting on Trump potentially ending free COVID tests is factually incorrect. According to CDC wastewater data, COVID levels are currently HIGH. COVID still causes serious illness and death for too many. People still need free tests!

There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws. In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

PSA: Words matter They aren’t “layoffs” It’s not about “efficiency”

There is simply no legal architecture that would allow Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws.

Concerned Bartender Takes Away Pete Hegseth’s Security Clearance theonion.com/concern...

The Trump official currently dismantling USAID was caught in a secret meeting with a group of pro-Russian separatists in the Balkans. Those he met with are under American sanctions for trying to restart the Bosnian war in the name of Christian nationalism. 1/

"[Elon] You can't take us out of the equation and be sure that they're [the public] is going to return home safely to their families." ▶️ Watch & share this video.

To think a brainworm laden, whale carcass transporting, illegal bear carcass dumping, raw milk drinking, biggest embarrassment to his family name, screechy leathered bag thinks I & millions others are "addicted" to meds that ALLOW NORMAL FUNCTIONING, and his fix is to go farm my symptoms away....

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Sending much love and solidarity to all the public health workers who have been inexplicably fired from government agencies today. The world is far less safe as a result.

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

Trump talking about Gaza is like watching a Jedi with no Force

"The speech was silly and immature" Lord Sumption tells BBC Newsnight what he made of US Vice President J D Vance's appearance at the Munich Security Conference yesterday. #Newsnight

Share THIS if you're glad the government is spending less on waste and more on a fleet of Cybertrucks you can see from space!

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

📢ATTENTION TITLE 42 EMPLOYEES AT CDC 📢 If you have been terminated and wish to join a group exploring legal options please message our tip line. You will need: all SF50s from eOPF, performance reviews, reason (s) for termination in writing.

no no we don't say "empty carbs" anymore. the preferred term is "emotional support carbs"

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Deceased 🤣💀

"I don't know who his Russia advisors are, but they ought to know that." Journalist Gabriel Gatehouse says Donald Trump has shown "almost staggering naivety" in trusting Vladimir Putin, predicting that the Russian president "will go back to fighting in six months". #Newsnight

The Acting President discusses affairs of state, while the young boy and the old man share their boredom.
