Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

Elon Musk’s private security detail gets deputized by US Marshals Service. ******* Security detail or Private Army? Any difference? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

Put together the plan. Then tell me who you think will say yes.

Impersonating Ukraine Soldier - I chatted with him because he claimed to be Ukraine soldier. Pics he sends out are those of a dead soldier.

Trump fired thousands of US Parks, Forest Service workers as he prepares to sell public lands to Exxon Mobil who bankrolled his campaign. The National Parks will likely face closure this summer without the dedicated workers who keep it safe and clean. Our national treasure squandered in mere weeks,

My new favorite drug is Republican members of Congress getting yelled at in their districts by constituents who hate Musk.

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

Elon has $400B There are $330M Americans He can start by sending each of us a check for $1200 and keep whatever is leftover.

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

I'm in ! Tell me how.

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.
