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"

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

We shouldn’t have patience for Dems who refuse to hold the line. We’re the opposition party—everything should be about obstruction unless it benefits us. No more tolerance for those who won’t get on board. We tried that, it got us nowhere. “Don’t upset Joe Manchin, we need his vote. Same w/Sinema.”

1/ If anyone is wondering why more people aren’t enraged by Musk’s burglary of our data, it’s because millions are regularly being fed mis- and disinformation to make Elon look like a champion against government waste, such as this lie below claiming Chelsea Clinton gets millions from USAID!

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB? Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors. Follow the money.

The closure of CFPB highlights the grand lie at the heart of DOGE. CFPB is cheap to run & delivers billions to victims of corporate scams. It’s the definition of value for money. But X & Meta hate it because it targets big tech fraud. DOGE is not about waste. It’s about enriching the oligarchy.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

There is one final leap Democrats must take to impede this coup and give us any chance of recovery: They must accept that Republicans are bad people. These elected officials have the power to stop this, but they are choosing to let the crimes continue for their own power. It is the essence of evil.
