It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

I find it telling that the dumbest most illiterate man we ever seen in the oval, wants to close the education department.

Rep Don Bacon Prime Minister Chamberlain gave portions of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938, & did it without Czech leadership in the room. Chamberlain said, “Peace in our time.” Hitler took the rest of Czechoslovakia & invaded Poland a year later. You can’t appease a dictator bent on conquest.

🚨 Trump SUES sanctuary state in DESPERATE bid to RAMP UP deportations Trump’s many THREATS of “mass deportations” have FIZZLED OUT so far. It’s literally BAU. So SUING Illinois is as PERFORMATIVE as the FAKE CLAIMS of MASS DEPORTATIONS coming from ICE www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

We’ve seen 3 plane crashes in like 8 days since Trump and Elon have taken over.

Elon Musk is a terrible president!

Now we know why Elon Musk wanted USAID shut down and the Inspector General fired: Elon Musk's Starlink was being investigated by the agency. gizmodo.com/elon-musks-e...

Another collision at a major American Airport Imagine the outrage we'd be hearing if this was happening on Pete Buttigieg's watch Air Traffic Controllers are pulling double duty and Trump 2.0 has thrown FAA into chaos with no plans in place to fill vacancies www.foxnews.com/us/delta-air...

The President of the United States is in the process of placing the entirety of the Federal government under his own control using methods that are in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution IsThisACoup.com? This is a coup

Peter Dynes So much for a cooling trend this year, January 2025 has set a new record as the warmest globally, even with an emerging La Niña. It's becoming very clear that we are now living in a new climate era.

Matthew Todd Who could have ever imagined this would not be worldwide no1 headline news. I’m genuinely lost for words. We are breaking. 😪😪😪😪🤬

Republicans will not be content until only white men are the only eligible voters.

The replacement of our constitutional system of government with the whims of an unelected private citizen (Musk) is a coup.

A model gauging the economic impact of Trump's tariff plan from EY chief economist Greg Daco suggests it would reduce U.S. economic growth by 1.5 percentage points this year, throw Canada and Mexico into recession and usher in "stagflation" at home.

Ive nevwr been a fan of Pres. Reagans politics, but this demonstrates just how far America has fallen.

Politicians always come cheap! They are just stooges.

Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers just 8 days ago. Policy choices have consequences. American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a Blackhawk over the Potomac, killing 65 Americans. This is the Trump

The new head of the FBI...

Kash Patel told @amyklobuchar.com he did not recall saying Trump has “every right to tell the world that in 2020, 2016, and every other election in between was rigged by our government because they were.” Here’s the clip:

Might I suggest now being a good time to rethink your LA Times subscription.

Bravo to whomever did this ✨👏✨😎✨😂✨💥✨

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

How it should have ended

This is how Trump and the Republicans show their hatred for all of us. It is how they wage war on the American People. It's how Trump and the Republicans destroy America from the inside. How much will we suffer before we learn to appreciate Freedom and Democracy?

What a tragic thought! Now I'm depressed all over, again. Not watching the news is my primary social solace.

Apparently Donald watches @meidastouch.bsky.social So they invited me to speak directly to the grifter president. I didn't mince words.

The most effective president in modern history ✨👏✨👏✨👏✨😎✨💙✨

There is nothing more insane than Mike Johnson - from the state of LOUISIANA - setting the precedent of conditioning disaster relief on political concessions. Louisiana.

I did, in fact, say this, and it is, unfortunately, in fact, true

Dr Tom Montgomery 👇👇👇😪 “In the course of my work, I’ve seen permafrost thaw, monkeys dropping dead from trees, river dolphins cooked & penguins dying in Patagonian heat. Now, here at home, fires rage & kill as we debate if CC is real, like 5yr olds discussing Santa.”

Selecting a mayor via political patronage is becer a good plan if you seek high- quality governance

Always the cleanup crew. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You know who was also a convicted felon when he took office in Germany in 1933? 🤔

“The consistent defunding of other city programs in order to give the LAPD billions a year has consequences, and these elected officials do actually have blood on their hands."

The LA 2024-2025 budget slashed about $17.6 million from the fire department, while increasing the budget for the police force by $126 million, according to figures from the Los Angeles City Administrative Office.
