Cult alert 🚩

Yes, that is a real headline. www.kcur.org/health/2025-...

BREAKING: A federal judge has issued a restraining order against Kari Lake and the Trump administration barring the cancelation of funding for Radio Free Europe. The decision to terminate, the judge says, appears to violate the law/congressional intent. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

"Until Trump invented it, the term “Gulf of America” did not exist. But Trump did invent it. Now the federal government insists that everyone use it. Even the supposedly independent media complies out of fear of retribution. This is what happens in dictatorships." www.thebulwark.com/p/our-semi-a...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE: -Website crashed 4 times in 10 days -Phone lines are overwhelmed -Staff being forced out -Customer experience office eliminated -SSA field offices on the chopping block This is an attack on Social Security itself.

Yep. You read that correctly.

BENNET: Don't insult the intelligence of the American people. Did Goldberg invite himself to the Signal thread? RATCLIFFE: I don't know how he was invited. I've seen conflicting reports. B: You're the CIA director! Why didn't you call out that he was present... this is just a normal day at the CIA

"No one is even pretending that the Department of Justice will conduct a good-faith investigation and, if warranted, prosecute this apparent law breaking. The law does not apply to this administration...This is what happens in dictatorships." www.thebulwark.com/p/our-semi-a...

Oops

REED: Were you oversees during any part of these discussions? GABBARD: Yes I was REED: Were you using your private phone or public phone for Signal? GABBARD: I won't speak to this because it's under review REED: What is under review? It's a very simple question

Florida state’s legislature “is set to debate a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts.” MaKE child LabOr GreAt aGaiN. 😬

Remember. It’s. Your. Money. ✨

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: "No classified documents were involved in Pete Hegseth's group text." If secret plans for a war that is just about to happen are not considered and made CLASSIFIED, the people driving this clown car are even more incompetent than it even previously seemed.

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Meanwhile, just last month... "... commands that link the victim's phone to a new device—in this case, one in the hands of an eavesdropper who can then read every message the target sends or receives..." www.wired.com/story/russia...

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

JUST TO CLARIFY…👇

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?! 👇 Gotta love Rosie! ❤️✨

Guy who stores national secrets in his bathroom at home doesn’t run tight ship on OPSEC? Stunner.

The fact that Witkoff was in the chat while being in Moscow means that russia knows everything that was being discussed there. But russia didn’t need Witkoff for that because Tulsi Gabbard was also in the group

The more you know…💫 Pass. It. On. ✨

Democratic House Rep. Jahana Hayes: "What good is it if I can feed my children if my neighbors' kids are hungry? And all of these people who think that we need to recede to our own corners and make sure that as long as you're taken care of you're okay, that is as unAmerican as it gets." Nailed it!

If they are illegally detaining legal permanent residents by month two, they will be illegally detaining citizen dissidents by year two. If you want it to stop before it reaches you, we will have to stop it here.

On the bright side, the countries formerly known as America's allies now have a really nice excuse to stop sharing information -- that it'll just end up in some drunken cabinet member's cell phone.

Between the unsecured bombing chats and eliminating FEMA and trafficking legal residents to foreign labor prisons and supermaxxing measles and halting cancer research, it’s so hard these days to guess how you’re gonna die

I don't think a guy who kept classified documents next to his toilet is gonna fire national security leadership for sharing war plans in an unsecured group chat. With emojis! This and worse was a given. Especially when you hire talk show hosts to run defense.

“By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration’s executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer...” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/a...

“Never thought I'd see the day where law professors were arguing it was wrong to call it ‘caving’ to give a government with fascist tendencies $40M of free legal services in order to get said government to rescind an executive order targeting you, but who's to say, I'm just a third year associate.”

So, if you’re not a good ally, we can takeover your territory? Sounds like the German approach ahead of the start of WW II.

This is what we call a conflict of interest www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...

Circling back on this…

🤔🤔🤔

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans
