Read the real stories about what USAID cuts mean, not the Musk propaganda www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Wow. 🙌

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

lol come on guys

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Hello! I have a shop focused on fused glass jewelry, game tokens and cabochons (flat-backed stones). nora.jewelry Interested in the process I use for making these? I'll quote a thread on how the first two were made in the follow up post.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

New stat calculations after todays cable break news are done.

Paris Hilton is matching donations to the Pasadena Humane Society all weekend! They are still caring for so many animals affected by the Eaton Fire. give.pasadenahumane.org/give/666092/...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Guillermina is pruining in a Northern CA vineyard. She uses special shears to trim the grapevines. With carefully pruning, the wine grapes will be used to make some of the region’s best wines next summer. #WeFeedYou

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Jasmine Crockett is shredding this solo. But it’s past time for the rhythm section to enter this song already.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Why we have and need a US Department of Education 🚨 New from @brookings.edu scholars, an initiative to walk through the federal role in education, particularly the ongoing need for a Department of Education and all it does www.brookings.edu/collection/w...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

👀 but with our👂s

Precisely what we warned about when the emails first went out.

To all living former presidents, vice presidents, Congress members, fed judges, former military leaders and all vets: we desperately need your assistance with spreading the word about and helping to resist.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There should be no reason to remove this footage from the internet that we know of.

I grew up in a military family. There are tons of military spouses who are probationary federal workers because of moving every 2-3 years. They're now getting mass fired despite Trump's own EO in 2018 to get more military spouses working for the federal government. He's screwing military families.

And then so it shall be.

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

This is not normal. And it is not okay.

Highly recommend deleting Twitter. It's state media.

1. European and UK ministers are still talking as if their biggest potential security problem is a withdrawal of US support. But that is not their biggest potential security problem. It’s that, under Trump, the US will back Putin not just diplomatically but also militarily. 🧵

"[Using the] Economy Act would seem to subject DOGE to the same open-records laws that cover most federal agencies, such as the [EPA] or the State Department. However, DOGE has refused to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests, saying it operates with executive privileges."

President Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator,” which we know can’t be true because Trump loves all the dictators. That’s why he appeases and coddles Putin and his filthy imperialist war on the people of Ukraine. History teaches us that we bow down to dictators and tyrants at our own peril.

“NEWSFLASH - They don't care about Veterans. They also don't care about skilled workers being over looked bc of "DEI". BITCH, I am the DEI. Veterans are part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies. www.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...
