Rural communities like mine will not have a Hospital if Medicaid cuts are enacted Property values will plummet and everyone will be forced to drive 50 miles over mountain passes in either direction to get to a Hospital There would be no more Life Flights either #SaveMedicaid

My heart breaks at news of another horrific plane crash. I'm praying for the families of the victims & people of Arizona. It's vital the government thoroughly investigate this tragedy to bring peace to the victims and families and protect everyone flying in the US. abcnews.go.com/US/2-dead-af...

Liz Cheney condemns Trump and his Republican enablers

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Nothing to see here, except the King part…

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

DOGE in practice: Disabled Army veteran who has 4 kids and did 3 tours overseas is fired from his job at Bronx VA hospital

Electing him once was bad enough but might have been chalked up to a bizarre mistake. Having re-elected him, nobody can assume any sort of stability or consistency necessary for partnership from the US ever again. Credibility is destroyed and rightfully so.

The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.

-The Question: How the hell did we get here? -The Answer: Citizens United.

Captures it perfectly.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Aww!!! Almost as precious as the eggs🩶 we can’t afford! What did this excursion to Daytona 500 cost us? $5,000,000? DOGE THAT!

Knowledge is power…

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

Bloop!

Déjà vu all over again.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

They're waking up.

What you see now is a suit and tie version of January 6th -Lawrence O’Donnell We are once again under attack

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

The world's richest man is taking food and medicine from the world's poorest children www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Elon fucking Musk does NOT appropriate federal funds. That is the job of CONGRESS. Not some foreign born private citizen jumping bean exploding penis rocket car melting nepo-baby conspiracy theorist womanizer who exchanges horses for handjobs. Congress needs to stand the fuck up. All of them!!!

Reminder: Canada is our closest ally and our friend 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Tariffs against Canada take affect Tuesday 🇺🇸 Retaliatory Tariffs against the US take affect also on Tuesday 🇨🇦 Lessons will be learned 🍿 #SheShed #MagaMorons

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

It's actually theft of taxpayers money when websites go dark. We paid for that data

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

You gonna stand there and tell me Christ would be fine with the wholesale slaughter, exploitation, and enslavement of any people anywhere? And you wonder why I oscillate between agnostic and atheist.

Here's the sun setting in the smoke of up to 5 wildfires behind an island the fossil fuel industry built to hide their oil drilling derrick. If you're into symbolism. Taken at 4:52pm today in Long Beach, CA
