When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

You stay classy, San Diego.

This is really something

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

It’s past time for Canada to step up northbound drug enforcement. Thousands of people have died from fentanyl poisoning and overdoses.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

❗️❗️The shelter that protects the world from radiation from the destroyed 4th power unit of the 🇺🇦Chernobyl nuclear power plant was hit today by a 🇷🇺Russian strike drone with a high-explosive warhead — Zelensky This is a terrorist threat to the whole world.

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

people putting faith over facts -while acting rationally from their view -are delusional in the sense that they believe their trusted sources over what is objectively proven true.😔 this is the definition of cognitive dissonance & mass delusion -should we keep them away from impressionable kids? 🤔👍❤️

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.

This energy. 👇🏻

❗️🇱🇻Latvia, 🇱🇹Lithuania and 🇪🇪Estonia are no longer dependent on the energy system of the 🇷🇺Russian Federation and 🇧🇾Belarus - the countries have officially disconnected from the Russian energy grid Now the Baltic countries will be powered by the energy system of Western Europe,connecting through 🇵🇱Poland

A hot mic picked up Trudeau admitting to “serious people“ – business leaders – that Trump is serious about stealing Canada’s resources: “Mr. Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing." www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7452748 #cdnpoli

“A new analysis by independent automotive blog FuelArc suggests that fire fatalities are 17 times more likely in a Cybertruck than in the infamous Ford Pinto — the posterchild deadly cars if ever there was one.”

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

At what point does the military step in? Isn’t that what often happens in dictatorships where the dictator goes insane? Isn’t the US military supposed to have a plan for everything?

Holy shit. “USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.” Follow the money.

@ChrisVanHollen Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems & locking out career employees. NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research & more. Their critical work saves lives. My team and I are looking into this & we will not stand for it.

Japan Airlines plane impales tail of Delta plane at Sea-Tac Airport www.fox5dc.com/news/sea-tac...

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I can’t begin to tell you how fucking tired I am of being told we can’t react to everything Trump and his monsters do. All I see is an excuse to do nothing. Out here in the real world people are reacting.

There is still beauty in this world
