Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor… Just sick!

The cull by Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency disproportionately hit staff overseeing the technology on which the billionaire has staked Tesla’s future. www.ft.com/content/ede5...

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 workers across the country are standing up and demanding NO cuts to education and life-saving research. By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars.

America is embarrassing right now. We destroyed ourselves at the hands of the dumbest supervillain. The greatest self own in modern history.

Excellent news as the woman behind the discovery of the hormone being severe morning sickness is awarded science prize🧪 Thanks to @helensalisbury.bsky.social for sharing

She told yall.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

I find it outrageous as well.

Sen. Jim Banks on the job held by a fired federal worker he mocked: "It was a woke job." Then in the next breath Banks admits he doesn't know what his job actually was.

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

Again.

Are you tired of winning yet?

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown
