In 2023, House GOP summoned Twitter execs to testify because they felt the platform was "censoring the right". The OWNER of Twitter now spent >$250M to elect Trump, and is OPENLY censoring dissenting voices on the platform. WHERE IS CONGRESS NOW?

Serial liar and conspiracy theorist lies that he and his friends are victims of a politically biased censorship conspiracy, especially by a website with a record of political neutrality and active opposition to state censorship. Liar buys website, adds a lot of bias and censorship. Suckers shocked.

Fun fact: while Phony Stark and the DOGEbags are taking money from our veterans, the world’s poorest people and kids with cancer, Assistant President Poopy Pants has already spent nearly $11 million of our money… playing golf.

The US is seeing multiple current measles outbreaks, one of which is one of the worst in years, and Health Secretary RFK Jr.’s personal organization, which he told the US Senate he would not seek to divest from, is telling people “measles has health benefits.”

The thing about destroying NIH is NIH’s scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else. For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right? But NIH’s budget was $49 billion. With a B. Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

If you believe he "won't take away vaccines from those who want them", why the hell wouldn't he? If he believes (and he does) that vaccines cause autism, why would he allow doctors to administer them to children? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

If anyone believes RFK “won’t take away vaccines from those who want them”, why the hell wouldn’t he? If he truly believes (he does) that vaccines cause autism, how could he then allow doctors to give them to children? How would that make sense?

A terrific, timely and accurate piece from @edwardluce.bsky.social about the wanton destruction Elon and DOGE are inflicting on those who serve the American people.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

As an aside, slashing thousands of IRS jobs is not cutting waste. It is making it worse. Much worse. That's like trying to cut street crime by firing thousands of police officers.

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. This is how democracy dies.

The basic fraud of Elon Musk is the fiction that he’s smart. It’s how he got so wealthy - every company he touched blew up in value because “Elon Musk is a genius” and now it’s why no one will point out that the emperor has no clothes as he spectacularly beclowns himself in government.

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.

Nearly half of the CDC’s epidemiologists were dismissed despite growing bird flu concerns. The cuts, affecting around 1,300 CDC employees, align with Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s push to overhaul health agencies and shift focus away from infectious disease research. uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-admin-...
