REP. RICH McCORMICK: When you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected TOWN HALL CROWD: *Noooooooooooo!*

Anyone who purchased a Tesla and who still owns one has aided and abetted this takeover.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

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.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Sounds like Cuban just fell in line with the broligarchy and the Trump Nazi agenda… what a pathetic tool.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Fuck you, Merrick Garland, for never treating criminals like criminals. For not having the balls to wield the power of US Law, given to you by POTUS, and allowing this chance for those criminals to now make our laws. Fuck. You.

Yet they keep wanting to cut the rich's taxes saying it will generate more "revenue". The proof is in the pudding...

From 1980 until the pandemic, top earners in the US saw real wages grow at more than double the rate of every other income group The top income TAX rate has fallen from 70% in 1979 to 37% today These 2 factors (and others) have shifted $50T from the middle class to the wealthy

How is this breaking news? This is pretty much well established. In 1987 Trump ran $130k of full page ads aggressively attacking NATO. And he did that during the cold war, right after returning from Moscow

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Why do a lot of Americans have a hard-on for cutting taxes for the ultra-rich and corporations? Trickle down has been proven to never work. The only thing that trickles down to the middle class and lower class is the piss and shit coming from all the debauchery happening right above our heads.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

I love Mark for what he did to reduce the prescription drug costs. But like the rest of the other megalomaniacs, he thinks he knows it all and has all the answers. Cuban would never risk his fortune and his comfy life so he will never truly “rise up” to this admin. And I consider that pathetic.
