This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Unfortunately, this is the last 70+ years of conservative politics if we count white flight from public schools after the Brown v. Board of Education decision. It was the essence of Reaganism in the 1980s as well

Did you miss it, I did? With permission from Panama, Guatemala and El Salvador, Trump deported 119 people to those countries even though the deportees aren’t citizens there. Central America is known for human rights violations. This cannot be legal #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/us-...

While Elon Musk is parading around DC causing tens of thousands of hard working Americans to lose their jobs in the name of “cutting wasteful spending,” Trump is being driven around the Daytona 500. This costs millions to do. Sounds like wasteful spending to me.

President Musk is revamping our entire government to meet his drug-fueled perceptions on the orders of a man questionably elected in what Republicans falsely labeled a landslide victory. There is no constitutional ground for these changes to be permanent.

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...
