It would be much more shocking that #Trump is defying a direct order from the Court to return a wrongly deported man if we had not already established that he answers to noone and does whatever he wants without facing consequences. #PoliticalCommentary P.S. — This outcome was entirely predictable.

"Congratulations" to #Musk & #DOGE for their $9b of "savings". They will gut programs like #USAID, kneecap #NPR, and still not "save" even half of the $20b+ #Boeing contract to develop a fighter jet named "F-47" after #Trump that will eventually cost hundreds of billions 💸. #PoliticalCommentary

With the #Trump administration cutting funding to private universities that don't align with their political views, what we should really consider is what qualifies a private, for-profit university to receive federal tax-backed funding in the first place. #PoliticalCommentary

Everyone going after Schumer, as if he's actually able to override a majority.

The world is complaining about Israel cutting off power to Gaza to try to get the rest of the hostages they agreed to return instead of breaking their side of the ceasefire agreement, because I guess bombing Gaza is so much better. #PoliticalCommentary

This may be the most chilling document since the formation of our country. If upheld, this will essentially end democracy in the United States. #PoliticalCommentary #Democracy #Trump #Coup

Hundreds of healthy prisoners, many of whom are admitted murderers and terrorists that #Israel is releasing in exchange for a few tortured and emaciated music festival attendees taken hostage by #Hamas should be reason enough to reconsider the popular narrative around #Gaza. #PoliticalCommentary

#Tills says that while #Trump and #Musk "may" be violating the constitution, "no one should be bellyaching about that". However, shouldn't the United States senators, tasked with upholding our constitution specifically and by law, absolutely be "bellyaching" about it? #PoliticalCommentary

If the court tells #Trump to stop something, but #Musk controls the money, and Trump blanket pardons musk, what is our legal course of action? #PoliticalCommentary

A gentle reminder to anyone frustrated by relative inaction by the Democratic party: #Trump is petty. A platitude today might allow you to get disaster relief tomorrow. This is the worst kind of game. Nothing to win, everything to lose. #PoliticalCommentary

I am not religious enough to care about a vow on a holy book, nor reactionary enough to interpret a casual wave as a Nazi salute. But I understand the significance of #Trump avoiding placing his hand on the Bible, and that 2 fascist salutes by #Musk is a pattern, not a mistake. #PoliticalCommentary

One of the difficult truths #Democrats will face under the #Trump presidency is that they can't fight for anything if they fight everything. Dems must pick their battles wisely and let the worst ideas fail naturally. #Fetterman knows it's all about living to fight another day. #PoliticalCommentary

To the USA: When China's largest telecom equipment company has a full page on their website about how insecure your network is, and the backdoor you specifically requested has been widely known for years, you shouldn't be complaining about low-level hackers from China finally making use of it.

It is increasingly difficult to find a job in tech right now. Not because Americans aren't good enough, but because similarly good candidates will work at bare minimum salaries to have their #H1B Visa sponsored. The H1B program has become abusive to everyone but the companies that profit from it.

#ElonMusk, #DOGE want to "delete" the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Considering that #CFPB have been fairly effective — returning over $19 billion to consumers since its founding in 2011 — I wonder what he's afraid of them finding out. For now, avoid buying a #Tesla. #PoliticalCommentary

Whenever someone so passionately reminds me that the Fed is independent and the President has no influence over it, I remember days like today. #PoliticalCommentary

In the United States, rich people cover their yachts in Christmas lights and it's marketed as a holiday parade and people watch and cheer in celebration of the dream of greed. Do we wonder why we elected a false image of wealth to represent us as president? #PoliticalCommentary #Trump2024

"With a mindset of facing challenges head-on, difficulties and failures become less intimidating. They won't easily defeat you. A life that can calmly navigate unavoidable hardships will feel more grounded." — Feng Ji, CEO of Game Science, reflecting on #TheGameAwards

UHC, a health insurance provider, posted over $22 Billion in profit in 2023 with a reputation for denying insurance claims, saddling Americans with crippling medical debt. I wish the government had taken action and brought the CEO to court, but what actually happened was he was shot on the street.

Reducing funding to government programs should always be preceded by an audit — especially social programs. Government programs are notoriously wasteful. Proper auditing would save a lot of money without significantly impacting efficacy. #PoliticalCommentary #Economics

#JoeBiden made a selfish decision today. But if the Republicans didn't want him to pardon his son, they should have let justice work instead of spending four years targeting #HunterBiden, a civilian, leveraging political force against a reasonable plea deal for two minor crimes just to hurt his dad.

One of the most impactful federal services is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA — an example of socialism done right. Free access to current weather data, unbiased forecasts, provided as a public utility we all benefit from. 🌨️⛅⛈️ #PoliticalCommentary #NOAA #Socialism #DOGE

Stop portending that new evidence of poor behavior or illegal activity is in any way detrimental for Trump's appointees. They're still not worse than Trump and he got elected to the presidency. That said "criminal appoints criminal" is hardly an interesting headline. #PoliticalCommentary #Trump2024
