JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

All of Trump's followers who bought stocks on his recommendation yesterday lost money today. This post is for all of you who say I never report good news.

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Tell everyone in Wisconsin

If this is true, it should itself be a war crime. "We have reason to believe that the data (on stolen Ukrainian children who were being tracked at Yale) has been permanently deleted." DOGE killed the program last week.

Campus disinvitations are fascism but the government singling out a legal immigrant he doesn't like and unlawfully deporting him is just the free marketplace of ideas

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

"There’s no Father’s Day card for men who turn their daughters into second-class citizens....How many little girls will grow up able to say their dad traded their rights away for a bit of political power & a pat on the head from the world’s worst man?" [email protected] on #Vance

This is how you do it. More please.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

Federal immigration authorities arrested a Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in last spring’s anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, according to his attorney.

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

Always 🇺🇦

WTAF?

Hiding from the public sounds like a solid plan moving forward 🙄

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

And I will nominate my dog, who has never appeared in a motion picture, for an Academy Award. No one deserves it more.

Gold Card alternative to Green Card for High Level People ➡️ $5M Replaces EB-5 visa program: Provides a pathway to citizenship for wealthy foreign investor types but has been an avenue for fraud Commerce Sec: We're going to make sure they're wonderful world-class global citizens. #Voices4Victory

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Ultimately, denying women the right to vote or even voice a differing opinion is nothing new among Christian patriarchs. Their churches treat disempowering women as foundational theology.

(Guardian) - French far-right leader Jordan Bardella has cancelled his speech at the US Conservative Political Action Conference conference after former Trump aide Steve Bannon appeared to make a Nazi salute at the end of his speech last night .. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Someone else posted on here yesterday that this is true.

The thing is:

Beautiful view in Key West!

...when you've lost the Post...

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895) was the first female African American physician in the United States. Dr. Crumpler published the “Book of Medical Discourses in Two Parts” in 1883. #BlackHistoryMonth

“Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking & inhumane. The proposal by Washington politicians to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane & immoral.” Senator Warnock, this #CupOfJoe is for you. Thank you for speaking truth.

UK paper gets it right! The American alliance with Europe is dead until we replace this poodle. 😐

Let's get this straight. Trump took credit for stock market and job gains under Biden— But inflation during his presidency? Not his fault. Got it.

He said this during his campaign. He meant it! 🖕🏼🖕🏽🖕🏾

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Thank God. The world respects us again. 🙄

No 'should' exists that make broken 'children'...behave...no matter how old they are. No law exists that make people agree that they don't get to take what is not theirs. Power's abuse recognizes nothing but 'more-than'...at any cost...to 'others'. Tired of waiting to be saved? No one's coming.

Must-read by one of the most relevant historians of our time.

📄 NEW: "Elon Musk and the American Endgame" DOGE is running amok, 'deleting' agencies and siphoning up data without accountability or controls. And he won't be stopped unless Congress unifies. My latest for Washington Spectator. america2.news/the-wide-ang...

Bear in mind if a woman had brought her child to the Oval Office & displayed them on camera, we would all be hearing about how women can't juggle work responsibilities or childcare & therefore should stay at home..

If you are concerned about the “who’s going to enforce?” question when it comes to the courts smacking Trump and Musk down, please read this.

Here's a list of DOGE staff, assembled and annotated by my colleagues at BI. Whatever you do, please don't share it. www.businessinsider.com/doge-staff-l...

I promise you. PROMISE YOU, that in four years nobody among us will ever admit to supporting Trump in mixed company. “Big Balls” good Lord America

Everyone knows that Republicans are garbage, but there isn't a single one objecting to a South African Nazi holding a news conference from our Oval Office?!@#%

OMB's Russell Vought wants to slash funding for NIH, which helped develop a "miracle drug" for cystic fibrosis that his daughter received. “We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought's wife wrote in a 2021 post. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
