200 million dollars of waste.

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

WSJ tops Page One with its piece about Amazon — “a company that prides itself on frugality” — bidding $40m for Melaina’s doc, “nearly three times the next-closest offer,” after dinner with Bezos. $AMZN

This is amazing. Via @nytimes.com

Utah football has worst season in years and season ticket prices go up. 🏈🙄🫤

Who out this tribute to quincy jones together? Not good.

How awful are we that Canadians boo?

"Obviously it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that." -- Sean Duffy, our new secretary of transportation in the new awful administration.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Flood the zone. Electeds, activists, & leaders, don’t assume people know what’s going on. Tell them everywhere that: Trump & Republicans stopped Medicaid. Trump & Republicans stopped housing assistance. Trump & Republicans stopped schooling for children.

Just to clear up any Trump world fantasy that Donald Trump has a mandate, his current approval rating of 47% is the second lowest of any new president in modern history. The lowest was Trump in his first term. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/d...

We missed out

Wholly owned

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

1. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT "WOKE" Trump just repealed an executive order that established basic non-discrimination requirements for federal contractors It has been in place for 60 years It survived Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II And now it is gone

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Rescinding the cap on insulin at $35 only makes pharmaceutical richer and everyday Americans, including MAGA voters, seriously poorer. So why does Trump do it? Because all he wants is to destroy anything Biden achieved, no matter how much damage it causes. That what sociopathy looks like.

Trump on Beverly Hills: "They wanted to restrict you to 38 gallons of water a day. That sounds like a lot, but it's not when you're a rich person and you want to take a shower."

📌“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” -President Lyndon B. Johnson who died 52 years ago today at his Texas ranch. He was only 64.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution. His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017. Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

Doug Emhoff reportedly called out Bruce Fischer, the husband of Senator Deb Fischer (R), for refusing to shake hands with Vice President Harris. When Fischer tried to shake Emhoff’s hand at the inauguration, Emhoff said, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

😡 trump

The side by side of the Trump family reacting to what was essentially a message of loving your neighbor is quite something. (1/3)

Trump has rescinded Biden’s Executive Order 14087, “Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,” which included things like lowering state Medicaid costs for the most expensive therapeutics, reducing Medicare payments for proven drugs, and creating a flat, $2 Medicare copay for generic drugs

He’s baaack!

NBC, Trump’s long time partner, censored Elon Musk’s Nazi salute. Top is the censored NBC version and the bottom is the live version. Censored version: youtu.be/Q04JXqpYYsE

Well. Good try Notre Dame

Way to go protest voters
