Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Isn’t Trump’s “deal” with Ukraine basically a protection racket? The U.S. is now being run like a mafia fence by a rogue’s gallery of absolute jabroni-ass goons. Might as well put up a sign over the White House that says “Affiliated Sanitation Solutions, LLC”

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

“DOGE” is demanding all federal employees email [email protected] 5 things they accomplished week—or be fired. So please do NOT email [email protected] nonsense trolling their stupidity. That would likely slow down this fascist regime. Please do not boost this post either. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-is-i...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

Anyone who lived in NYC in the 80s & 90s knows Trump is a pathological liar, a sociopath & the most unscrupulous goldbricking grifter ever to draw breath. The idea that he’d respect the “rule of law” or “norms” or anything that didn’t satisfy the last 3 seconds of his impulsive avarice is hilarious.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

One of the truly great resignation letters of all time. Emil Bove is engaging in unethical and likely even criminal conduct at the highest levels of DOJ. This is a time for all men and women of principle to stand up while so many in the GOP remain silent. AUSA Scotten is a hero.

This exchange is going to slip by and go undercovered but this is a very revealing moment. Trump’s government won’t study anything, they will just tell us everything is going great no matter who gets hurt. ‘1984’ is upon us.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

I wonder when Republicans in Congress are going to realize that most of the things Musk “finds” that he considers “fraud” are things that most of them voted for. Probably when they hear from their own voters about it. Enjoy!

Elon Musk, who has $3.6 billion in Pentagon contracts, will look for waste in Pentagon contracts, Trump says. My bold prediction: Musk will decide that his $3.6 billion in Pentagon contracts is worth every penny. His competitors' contracts will not fare as well.

This is an absolutely remarkable memo — and a betrayal of both the Constitution and the American political tradition. In the US, by explicit contrast with interwar fascist governments, the state is not supposed to be an extension of the personality of the chief executive.

We can't lose the plot: Republicans are stealing from you so they can give more to billionaires. They're handing Elon Musk your personal information, shutting down public services you paid for, and hiking the cost of living. Don't let them hide their corruption with chaos.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

We need to shift our messaging from "Democrats SHOULD talk about..." to just SAYING IT ourselves (I'm guilty too). Don't lament the asymmetry in the media; we already know the media would destroy Biden if he blamed a plane crash on some amorphous framework like DEI. Instead, start making the case:
