Yes! I’m so glad someone called him out on this!!! Trump is 100% responsible!!! 😡 (cont below)

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

America is a terminally self-destructive and often ignorant, so I have low expectations. However, I do believe the brosphere that helped elect Trump is going to get to the Find out part sooner than expected and might turn on/off these dumbass comedian/Youtube stars they see as prophets.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Lying scumbags

Math is hard

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

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

It’s a cult.

The CFPB has: -Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud -Cracked down on junk fees -Fought against politically-motivated debanking -Protected veterans from predatory lenders -Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

States are being ravaged by floods, thousands of federal employees were fired for being collateral damage of revenge, food aid rots in ports, bird flu/measles are spreading, inflation/prices are surging, yet the orange felon wasted millions riding around Daytona 500. I hate him.

Jessica: You need to talk about the 3,400 people who were fired from the fire service. Trump was out in California talking about how we need more people working on this, we need to be raking the leaves… 57% of the land there is run by the Federal Government

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

In this last month I have made the mental transition from "air travel is very safe" to "at least it would be a relatively quick way to go"

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

The Trump admin is trying to un-fire nuclear safety workers — but can’t figure out how to reach them. The workers, whose agency oversees the nuclear stockpile, had been fired and lost access to their government emails. The admin doesn't have their new contact info. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

It’s crazy to think this county was more tolerant of the differences among us 50 years ago than it is today.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Prius at 0:16 doing the ope let me sneak by you real quick

one of the stupidest things i have had the misfortune of reading today and i am sharing it with you.

I’m in touch with Delta after a flight taking off from MSP crash landed in Toronto this afternoon. Grateful to the first responders and professionals on the scene.

let me strongly recommend the flu shot to whoever hasn't gotten one for this season. i just had a *terrible* bout with the flu that almost certainly would have been WAY worse had i not been vaccinated

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...
