Given that Bezos just did a full takeover of @washingtonpost.com and now it can only report that America and money are great--today is a great day to cancel if you have it, you check to make sure you aren't paying for a forgotten subscription.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

The GOP want to TAKE AWAY healthcare from 72 MILLION people! This will lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated illnesses, and unnecessary deaths. All to fund tax breaks for the rich. #DontCutOurMedicaid

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Imagine watching tens of thousands of Americans lose their jobs, while everything from pediatric cancer trials to Alzheimer’s research to veterans programs are being eliminated, but you’re okay with it because a felon said his pet billionaire saved about 0.79% of the total US budget for the year

Some teenage boys overcompensate by getting lift kits on their pickup trucks – while other teenagers overcompensate by destruction of Democracy, sunglasses, and chainsaws.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Clarification: This is the conversation reporters should be having but aren’t… instead of simply taking sound bites, reframing the BS spouted and putting it back to the “spouter” in this example, Mike Johnson. Spouter - a person who speaks foolishly & without sense… 😂

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

I you want to steal social security numbers: 1) You can send a fraudulent email pretending to be from a bank claiming the recipient needs to change their password, provide a link to a misnamed website, and prompt them to enter their SS number; or 2) Send some kids to take over Treasury computers.

Elon Musk’s DOGE team is already costing millions of Americans more money by deleting the free IRS filing program. Many families were going to utilize this. www.thedailybeast.com/musk-says-he...

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Trudeau addresses the American people. Reminding Americans of 🇨🇦’s long trusted friendship, partnership & alliance with 🇺🇸. This is now threatened by outlandish nonsensical #TrumpTariffs.

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year. 43 pounds.
