A reminder that the US spent USD 0.35 out of USD 100 on Ukraine, the most major war in Europe since WW2. It’s just above Bulgaria which couldn’t fit in the screenshot. Anyone pretending Ukraine had a toll on the US is lying at worst and uninformed at best. www.statista.com/statistics/1...

Make your voice heard. Not just to your legislators, state and federal, but to your neighbors, mechanic, hairdresser, to everybody.

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Mitch McConnell announced today that he will not seek reelection in 2026 because the gop goals of returning us to the good old days has been accomplished. “Both the legislative and judicial branches surrendered and the monarchy has been restored,” said McConnell. “My work here is done.”

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Republican Kevin Kiley booed hard as he showed up with Trump’s transportation Secretary Duffy to attack California’s high speed rail project.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Co-presidents Trump & Musk are gaming us—pretending to cut “government waste” while plotting to rob us blind and push a permanent billionaire tax cut that will add trillions to the debt they care about only during elections. The thing is—the con is so g damn obvious! (Video 🧵)

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

Musk baselessly spreads conspiracy theories about the gold at Fort Knox being gone. (Mnuchin and a team of Republicans were there in 2017.)

Elon Musk: "Who is confirming that gold wasn't stolen from Fort Knox? Maybe it's there, maybe it's not. That gold is owned by the American public! We want to know if it's still there." This seems less about confirmation, and more about staging a bank robbery. #ProudBlue #TheTurdReich #DeportElon

Elon is pretending Fort Knox does not have its gold, as though Steve Mnuchin was not shown the vaults in 2017

'It's gone': Elon Musk suggests without evidence that gold was 'stolen' from Fort Knox. share.newsbreak.com/bl5dd2si?s=i16

I actually think it's pretty ironic that the default congressional Republican impulse is to cut healthcare. In 2017 they wanted to repeal Obamacare. Now almost a decade later they want to start trimming Medicaid/Medicare. No reason to think the consequences won't be different this time.

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

The Congressional GOP is not passive in this. They're not not acting. They're fully engaged in not only making this possible, but doing it--they are rubber stamping Cabinet appointees whose entire stated purpose is destroying the government, and deliberately letting the Executive Branch run wild.
