Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

It’s just like this idiot doesn’t understand the way our founders laid out the 3 branches of government. But I don’t believe that- what I believe is that he knows full well, but just doesn’t really like it because it prevents him from taking all the marbles. We can only pray the system holds.

🚨 BREAKING: The Eagles didn’t just decline Trump’s invite—they said HELL NO, per @TheSun. Players and execs shut it down unanimously. Brutal. Can’t wait for Trump’s meltdown. 💀 If Philly fan @JoeBiden were in office, they’d already be celebrating at the White House. 🤷‍♂️

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

How odd that when Trump announced his “deal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

The DC control tower was understaffed. There was only one controller, controlling both helicopters and planes. Those are supposed to be separate jobs. We need to investigate whether Donald Trump's hiring freeze last week played a role.
