“Does Trump also think Winston Churchill was a dictator?” GB legally suspended elections during WW2 2015: Ukraine’s pre-invasion (and pre-Zelensky) elected government voted on a law to suspend elections during war Let’s say facts: Donald J. Trump is a liar and a gaslighter. His WORDS are ADMISSIONS

Dear US representatives in all of congress. Grammar refresh: Perhaps you should remember to WHAT you swore an oath. Not to WHOM Video for visual and auditory learners www.instagram.com/reel/DFrK_tc...

DOE ordered all education institutions to stop using any/all “DEI”. vague language is designed to have chilling effect-pressure schools. “Creating a sense of risk around doing work that might promote diverse and welcoming campuses is much more of the goal than a clear statement of existing law,”

“If FBI agents who are just doing their jobs aren’t free of the risk of political prosecution, then who is? In a country run by a president who has accumulated all power into his own hands, you never know who might run afoul of the leader’s good graces.” joycevance.substack.com/p/kash-patel...

Nobody should be surprised by this data

There it is … ONE MONTH IN Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term

They're saying the quiet parts out loud now.

$39million+ To DODGY in the Trump administration’s first month. For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50 million a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted, budget records show. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Indiana GOP loves kids … Said nobody? Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has been hailed as helping to raise Indiana’s child literacy ranking from 19th to 6th place nationwide. Early reading skills, advocates say, lead to better academic performance in kindergarten and beyond. So, they cut it

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

02/20/2025 White House spokesman Kush Desai told Reuters the Trump administration "will abide by ethics laws." Trump has said that Musk will excuse himself from any conflicts of interest between his various business interests and his efforts to cut costs for the federal government.

DODGY, to say the least. 1/2 savings claimed in receipts come from what DOGE said was a typo. 1/3 of entries also don’t result in savings bc contract already maxed out & = NO future savings. NPR’s Stephen Fowler combed 130,000 contracts - found DOGE’s claims were overstated by BILLIONS.

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Math is hard

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

“Bless our hearts” Brazil is more “rule of law” than USA Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, charged w plotting military takeover; leading extensive plot to assassinate rivals & overthrow gov. following election defeat in 2022. HE WENT FULL MAGA

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

How about that same team coming into the state capitol and going office-to-office

Incompetence and malevolence are a toxic combination.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?
