Van Hollen: "European allies & others around the world who believe in freedom & democracy are wondering if this is just rhetoric or a real shift. My warning to them is I think this is reality. I think Trump is much closer ideologically to Putin & other autocrats than he is to democratic countries."

“Admitting that our president is a gullible fool who repeats obvious Russian propaganda isn’t helpful,” the bootlicker said.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

#LordLaser and #LadyLaser and I will be here tonight as long as people hang around.

It's invigorating as well as effective. I hope more and more people do it.

#TeslaTakedown in the news from the great @inquirer.com !

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

MAGA is big mad that there’s a petition going to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship in Canada that has over a 116k signatures. The U.S. should have deported him when we had the chance.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

BREAKING HISTORY: DOGE seems to merely be a 2025 version of the Khmer Rouge... Any thoughts?

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

BREAKING: Trump’s approval rating collapses. Only 37% of independents approve of Trump’s performance as President. America is rejecting Trump — and the more people realize how badly he’s doing, the worse his numbers will get.

In 1938, Nazi Germany held "peace talks" about Czechoslovakia with England, France, and Italy. The Czechs were not there. In 2025, Putin's Russia is holding "peace talks" about Ukraine with the US and Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainians are not there.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

Can we get Kat a podcast already?

It's a coup, you disingenuous dipshits, not cost-cutting. #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

Super glad we torched our reputation with one of our closest allies by continually dangling a self-destructive trade war threat over their head, brilliant 14 Dimensional Chess move here

“.. My parents always said… you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.” @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

The Trump Administration has done more damage to the United States, our institutions, our interests, our standing in the world, the world order we have fought and sacrificed for a century to establish in the past four weeks than all the enemies of the US managed to inflict during the past 250 years.

the level of corruption unfolding right now will stagger future generations. it will stagger people a month from now.

TODAY IN MAGA AMERICA: Our South African overlord, Elon Musk, who entered America illegally, held court in the Oval Office introducing us to the heir to the throne, LITTLE X, who squirmed in his father's arms and picked his nose and stared at the strange orange man at the Resolute desk.

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

It’d be a mistake to think of school vouchers and other privatization schemes as education or economic reform. These are political acts—as much as attacks on higher ed, the Dept of Ed itself, or the civil and public service. It’s not about efficiency. It’s about takeover.

JD Vance Facetimes His Family

Musk wants to take more of our money for himself and his projects. Trump will let him steal from Medicare and Medicaid to fund more tax cuts for the richest among us. Oligarchic kleptocratic rule: the rich get richer and everyone else does not matter.

Just in time for RFK to spread the measles far and wide.

First they came for the USAID workers, and I did not speak out, because I was not a USAID worker...

Seems like a good reason not to watch the Super Bowl.

Didn't the NYT tell him he is not supposed to call it "ethnic cleansing"?

An indicted war criminal is meeting a convicted felon in the White House today while an illegal alien born in apartheid South Africa is ransacking the federal government. And if that is not enough, a man whose brain has been eaten by a worm will soon be in charge of the healthcare for all Americans.

It feels really festive that a Black church took away the Proud Boys control over their own name for Black History Month.

Paramount is openly considering what is essentially bribery

NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

“If you would have asked me a week ago, I'd have told you that this kind of thing would never in a million years happen. But now, who the fuck knows."

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power. This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.

“Anybody who would have access to these systems is in a position to turn off funding selectively" newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Lmaoooooooooooo
