I love how the AP is still going hard at Donald Trump and not capitulating after he kicked them out of the White House. 🍿

They're eating your Medicare. They're eating your Social Security. They're eating the funds of the people who paid into them.

Marsha out here just making up numbers Show your work, @marshablackburn — or better yet have a town hall and let folks ask you about it in person🤷🏼‍♀️

They will use ICE and DOJ to go after people they decide are enemies of the state and disappear them into a labyrinth system where you will drain your bank accounts fighting for justice and may never see it. Welcome to America in 2025. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

It's Sunday night! Let's try to hit our goal of 1,000 letters sent to Congress in the next hour to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Send your letters here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty. Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance. Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.

Donald Trump's babysitters are resorting to having him do interviews with the biggest cheerleaders they can find, but it turns out Trump is so far gone, even an ass kisser like Maria Bartiromo can't keep Trump from coming off like a disaster: www.palmerreport.com/analysis/don...

WOW. Read this entire affidavit.

From time to time I burden you with some personal stuff, based on my belief that our values begin with who we are and where we came from. So today I want to get very personal and tell you why I’m so short. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-im-so-short

Diana, our family: without your support, I wouldn’t be standing here. Without your examples, I wouldn’t have a purpose. Without your love, I wouldn’t have the strength for what lies ahead.

This is fascism.

Are Republicans starting to understand why Trump hasn’t released the Epstein files yet?

Is this how Trump’s DoJ gets their guy off the hook?

JD Vance whines, video proves him wrong. Musk picks fights with Poland. Trump comtinues to wreck the economy and goes golfing. And more. Catch up with our weekend recap (no paywall):

The first amendment is under direct attack.

Mark Carney, the new Liberal Party designate for Prime Minister of Canada: "My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

trump went from promising to lower prices on day one to fucking up the stock market and refusing to rule out a recession on Day 48. Raise your hand if you're not surprised one bit. 🤚

They’re making airplanes crash again.

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.   Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k.  Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

After watchjng all these Space X rockets go kablooeey, I think they should be in charge of taking care of Air Force One these next 4 years

Canada’s next prime minister, Mark Carney, used his leadership victory speech to warn Canadians that the U.S. “president” wants to “destroy our way of life.” “America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form,” Carney said in his victory…

Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico. An iconic photo of a great leader for our time.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall the moment a 19 year old DOGEbag got access to the VA system only to realize the VA still uses VISTA - a proprietary MUMPS-based programming language from 1978.

Elon Musk says he’s never been to therapy and that he self-diagnosed, so how in the fuck does he get the Ketamine… How?!

Sen. Moreno has been strangely silent about Rick Scott’s office decor.

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

What he's doing in the federal government now is intended to make the U.S. similarly dependent on him. It won't matter who controls Congress or the presidency if he can turn off social security on a whim. That's the crisis we're all yelling about

Yet another plane crash today in PA. I blame the orange felon firing FAA leadership, firing FAA employees including air traffic controllers and dismantling an air safety committee.

Canada's Liberal Party has elected Mark Carney as its new leader, meaning he will soon replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the nation's top office following Trudeau's announcement January that he would be stepping down.

This was his exact sales pitch for people to attend Trump University. Right before he ripped all of them off.

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Thank you. We're strongest when we are united.

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.
