Old but relevant! Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years and proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow, a former KGB spy has told the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Trump picked the wrong state to pick on when he went after Maine Governor Janet Mills. Mainers don't like bullies and it's one of the last states to have a strong independent streak. A plurality of its voters are unaffiliated or third party.

Governor Mills’ Statement on Notice of Investigation From U.S. Department of Education “…who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end?…” 💪💪💪💪💪💪

Another massive scoop from @marisakabas.bsky.social on how Musk’s DOGE squad now has a middle-manager with a questionable background (to be charitable) who was about to be put on administrative leave this time last week - in charge of social security administration.

One month in, and voters aren’t buying Trump's mismanagement of the economy. He promised to lower prices, but 66% say he isn’t even trying. Instead, he’s letting Musk raid Social Security and Medicare to fund more tax giveaways for the wealthy and corporations. @alexsjacquez.bsky.social

President Trump has said Social Security “will not be touched.” But the DOGE team’s first wave of actions — initiating the elimination of 41 jobs and the closing of at least 10 local offices, so far — worries advocates about what might come next.

Psychotic billionaire, Edolph Musk makes up shit on the fly, trumps style. Making false statements; purposely using fake and misleading interpretations of data, like on the Social Security databases. He say what he want, and expect to be believed at face value. And moronic MAGAS do #USDemocracy

Hey MAGA...Did you vote for cuts to farmers? Head start? Universal pre-k? Meals on Wheels? SNAP? School lunch? Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security? For massive layoffs? To have your personal data accessed? Did you vote to turn US into Russia? Or have billionaires in charge?
