gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

Cutting NASA's workforce by about 10 percent. That's a boost to the Chinese and Russians. And the guy in charge of SpaceX made this decision? That's a total conflict of interest. Moreover, firing all probationary employees shows they're not serious about evaluating programs. It's a machine gun.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Perhaps this isn't the best time to put some anti-vaxxer, road-kill-eater, crackpot in charge of our public health agencies...

to call this a clown show is unfair to clowns. pure madness. like playing russian roulette with a machine gun. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

I’ve got the morning shift. This guy is dangerous and unfit to serve and I’m about to explain why. Tune in: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

After crippling the FBI, the Trump administration is now going after the CIA. Our intelligence agencies are being gutted and replaced with political hacks and Trump loyalists who will follow his orders without question. Russia and China can’t believe their luck.

Trump—who pardoned hundreds of cop-beaters—now assails Democrats for encouraging violence. Is he setting the stage for a crackdown on protest or dissent?

Just went live to talk about what is happening, what we can do, and what to expect this week: www.instagram.com/reel/DForuR_...

reupping this from the wall street journal -- oct 25 2024: www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Mexico & Canada did literally nothing to stop the Trump tariffs. The stock market stopped the tariffs as Wall Street always assumed it would.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

For people asking for non-meta options I’ll be posting clips tomorrow

A woman who worked with the anti-vaccine nonprofit run by RFK Jr. accused him of sexual misconduct and was paid a nearly $1 million settlement as part of a nondisclosure agreement in late 2020, Mediaite reports. www.mediaite.com/politics/exc...

Donald Trump, allegedly the “leader of the free world,” has attacked Canada, Ukraine, and Taiwan harsher than he ever attacked Russia, China, and North Korea. Let that sink in.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau. Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
