This is fucking stupid.

Instant block

Has it been 4 years yet? I feel like I’ve aged 20 and it’s only been a few weeks.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If Harris had said "within a month of taking Trump taking office he will lay off 200,000 workers, you will have $12 eggs, and there will be two plane crashes a week" what do you think the response would have been?

The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, announces she will sue Google if they continue to label the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America across its entire body of water. She argues that Trump’s order to rename the region is only limited to the section under US control.

I’ve never had to stop scrolling on *LinkedIn* because it made me sad and angry before. But seeing so many bright young people who dedicated their lives to a career in federal service treated this way…it’s horrific.

This is not a good combination of trending topics 😬

For my first executive action as president I am renaming Lake Titicaca to Lake Boobiepoopoo.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m starting to think the only thing that kept the planes from crashing before was diversity.

Ahh the good old days #gulfofmexico

It’s getting terrifyingly clear folks: DOGE is a Trojan horse for full authoritarian takeover.

Does anyone else listen to #AndreaBocelli in their car after reading #Dostoevsky or am I just weird.

This is separate from the BC premiere saying they're banning red state booze

turns out running the government like twitter costs hundreds of dead bodies within 10 days

Hello internet. #Husky #Snoot

It's Pritzker and AOC who get it so far. Who else?

Tough choice each morning between reading the news — or not being paralyzed by dread and anger.

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

Seems like we all agree RFK Jr. cannot be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. www.wsj.com/opinion/rfk-...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Wow. He has no business holding any job in government, let alone head of HHS.

Does the Trump Administration know that the Green New Deal never actually happened? Seriously, though, they did their polling and know that using the phrase alone — as a bogeyman symbolizing government overreach — scores points with the majority of voters. That’s why they do it. Lessons here…

Took a snapshot just incase we get to a point when the #mendelaeffect kicks in 2 years from now. #Gulfofmexico

Do not worry. Do not pray. For they are one and the same. Both a plague of nothingness. We must instead, Prepare. -Snip of my upcoming book. But fitting for the times. #Booksky

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.

Opinion: #Trump radicalized me… he made me want to be a; giant #gay flag flying, #tesla hating, pro- #environmentalist, who boycotts any company gutting their #DEI program (RIP #target). Before that, I was just a regular liberal minding my own business. 💅

Excellent post

a nazi speaking at a nazi rally. it’s really not deeper than that.

I’ll always call it Twitter and I’ll always call it the Gulf of Mexico, spare me the cult stupidity. Period.

So how’s it going so far?

Community is the antidote to despair. Happy to host! 🌹

This is probably what’s going to drive me insane in the weeks and months ahead. Trump’s fascism is going to be presented alongside sports news and wordplay about new animals at the zoo, like all of this is normal.

After hurricane Helene, North Carolina residents were badly hurt because Trump spread misinformation about FEMA So why does the GOP keep lying about the organization They want to make sure we don’t trust ANYTHING unless it comes from Trump It’s part of their quest to permanently control America

House Republicans are now just making stuff up on Fox to justify Trump's push to kill FEMA

According to the WSJ, Bill McGinley, the top lawyer at the DOGE, is departing. What great efficiency Elon Musk is showing when he can't even keep people in the Department of Government Efficiency. 🙄

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."
