So so so UNBELIEVABLY TRUE!!!

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Allowing your mother to be robbed of her Social Security and Medicare so Elon Musk can become a trillionaire is pretty fucked up.

"The United States Postal Service shall be operated as a basic and fundamental service provided to the people by the Government of the United States, authorized by the Constitution, created by Act of Congress, and supported by the people"

Donald Trump has now backed the GOP House bill that would deliver $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich, while raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion and cutting $2 trillion from America’s middle class. I’m ready to fight to make sure this bill never passes.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

Elon claims trillions in social security went to dead people but instead of holding hearings on that today and having him and DOGE testify under oath, Republicans are filing bills to put Trump’s face on Mt. Rushmore & make his birthday a holiday. DON’T THEY CARE ABOUT OUR MONEY!

This should work out just fine, don’t you worry

Today the felon in the White House banned the use of the word "felon" in the White House.

Read @stevevladeck.bsky.social ... always ... but especially here, where he highlights this passage in Bove's letter to Sassoon saying DoJ accepts her resignation because ... she decided to follow the Constitution instead of the policies of the president. Yes ... that's exactly what he said.

NEW: Despite Musk and Rubio’s statements, life-saving programs with USAID funds are NOT restarting. A funds transfer system is frozen. And a USAID official sent out an internal email obtained by @nytimes.com telling employees to halt applications to restart: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Breaking: For the second day in a row, the AP reporter on pool duty who tried to attend a POTUS event was blocked from entering the Oval Office. The reporter was there to cover the swearing-in ceremony for Tulsi Gabbard.

If you can afford $97.4 billion to buy OpenAI, you can afford to pay your fair share of taxes.

If you rely on Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid, it’s time to panic. If you care about your personal data – like your Social Security number or banking info – it’s also time to panic because Elon Musk has likely accessed your most private information already. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Self-gelding Republicans are telling you that the American people “voted for Elon” when they didn’t and that what he’s doing all up in our financial business is “good”, when it is isn’t, so that the really fucking bad, democracy ending shit he does next, doesn’t seem so bad. When it is.

We told you they would come for veterans. We told you they would come for community care.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Repost if you believe Edward Snowden was a traitor to the United States of America.

Good morning. It's really tough to get up when each day this waking nightmare just intensifies...

Never believe a word Eva Braun, here, says.

President Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza, transfer its population to Egypt and Jordan and redevelop it into the "Riviera of the Middle East" would unquestionably be a severe violation of international law, experts say. Here's what to know.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
