In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Oh, look. The House GOP Budget reflects all the evil cuts to Medicaid they said they'd do in Project 2025. Maybe take them literally and seriously.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Yesterday — YESTERDAY — JD Vance visited Dachau and said it drove home “what unspeakable evil was committed and why we should be committed to ensuring it never happens again.” Today he met with AfD?? He made a mockery of his visit to Dachau. Disgusting. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Look, we gotta keep beating this drum: THESE AREN'T CUTS, THEY'RE ILLEGAL IMPOUNDMENT Not only do "cuts" sound normal & suggest a proper legal process brought them about—which is a lie—but they also sound like something that fell out of the sky, a natural happening, rather than a unilateral decree

this guy needs to be a focus of Dem TV appearances and Trump staff need to be asked about him in every interview “why is a 19 year old who called himself Big Balls being given access to our most sensitive personal information?” it sounds absurd because it is absurd and people need to hear it

RFK Jr. and his family stand to profit off lawsuits against vaccines. An HHS Secretary shouldn't have a financial interest in making our country sicker. I’m demanding RFK Jr. recuse himself from any work on vaccine policy while he has a financial interest in the outcome.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI. Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis. Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight. Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

This is just so obviously true that it's a terrible reflection on the state of the USA that is has to be frantically repeated by everyone in this country who knows anything at all about public health or healthcare (and who is not in the pocket of the billionaires). statnews.com/2025/01/31/r...
