Physicians at the VA received these as well.

The MAGAs are really, really blatantly firing a ton of women in the federal government and military for the crime of being women, and it is embarrassing when people ignore or downplay this.

It’s been wild to see so many headlines about the firings at the Joint Chiefs of Staff and none of them explicitly saying “Trump fired the one Black person and the one woman so he could have an all white male Joint Chiefs”

This is, again, a repeat of Elon's Twitter takeover. They made the same stupid demand.

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

When you’re trying to psych out the pitcher in <checks notes> tee ball.

Next election is like prime time for socialists and communists to run for local office

It feels like people are waking up

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Without dots, this is an EKG pattern that you do NOT want to have.

This is also what she voted for

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

"MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Truest political cartoon today. SMDH.

Trump is very unpopular, but nowhere near as unpopular as Congressional Democrats, who have mountains of gold to work with, but keep spinning it into straw.

DOGE is a criminal enterprise to destroy the government to empower and enrich oligarchs. Any news org that uses the term "cost cutting" to describe DOGE is complicit and should be shunned.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

I love a political cartoon that gets it sooo right!

In generations to come, this political cartoon will be in every history book.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

This sounds like what happened to newspapers.

oh wow the future has arrived, move over Pauline Kael

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

Sorry, liberals. There was an election in November, and America clearly voted for Elon Musk to have access to your personal taxpayer data.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Mike Luckovich posted his new political cartoon on X. He was notified that the cartoon was taken down as it did not meet community standards. Free speech, Elon? I don't think you know the meaning of that phrase

The political cartoon below says so much, imo, about how manipulation, propaganda, & disinformation have led to our current predicament.
