I cannot overstate how much I love the fact that Williams & Connolly put 14 individual lawyers’ names in the signature block of their complaint. W&C is sending a clear message: We are not afraid. BRAVO.

Musk staffers briefly published a list of 440 properties it planned to sell, deeming them “not core to government operations.” However, the list was removed after officials were alerted that it included a complex housing a CIA facility—often referred to as the “worst-kept secret in Springfield.”

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

While you were getting shafted by Trump and Musk in various ways, the U.S. Department of Agriculture quietly disbanded two key food safety committees. He makes junky cars, shitty rockets...and communicates about as clearly as a drunk Chimpanzee.

Privatization you say? And it's not just Social Security. It's the VA, Medicare, Medicaid, the Postal Service, schools, the police, prisons, NASA, scientific research... They want to privatize everything.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

This past Saturday night, our government grabbed a legal U.S. resident, arrested him, is now detaining him, and is trying to quickly deport him. No charges. No trial. His wife, a U.S. citizen, doesn’t know where he is. This is what authoritarian regimes do. This shouldn’t happen here.

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

No, dead people DO NOT collect Social Security. As soon as you die, the funeral home follows the law and fills out the form that goes directly to SSA and the benefits stop immediately. Stop listening to lies, call SS yourself. #VoteBlue #wtpBLUERESISTS #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

A leaked memo reveals that DOGE's next target is the VA, with plans to fire more than 80,000 agency workers who provide critical services to veterans and their families. More than 25% of agency staff are veterans themselves. How is this "efficiency"?

When Elon has everything that would be required for humans to ever live on Mars, that same technology could actually be used to repair planet Earth, thus negating the need for humans to go to Mars, this is a huge ass waste of U.S. tax dollars.
