Since writing this article, I have received messages from federal civil servants who tell me it is accurate, and that they are frightened. Please share this with anyone who doesn't understand the scale of the transformation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

The origin story behind yesterday began in 2019 when Zelensky refused Trump’s illegal demand that he investigate Joe Biden.

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

This…

One thing got missed in that disgusting embarrassing exchange between a respected President and two wannabe mafia thugs…Vance admitted Russia invaded Ukraine.

History matters. www.facebook.com/share/18QLyj...

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

🔥 CROCKETT: “Facts matter.”

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

The emails, the firings (and rehirings)…all are a kind of psychological terrorism.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Puppy killer Noem just spent $200 million on an ad campaign to thank trump. The money for that one butt-kiss would have paid a year’s salaries for 2500-3000 of the people he just fired. Where again is the waste?

It’s a trap. Just like the fork. They won’t actually read these emails.

“…we have no illusions about what we are up against… this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the oval office nor by the wealthiest among us…The American story will be written by you. Written by us. By we the people.” m.youtube.com/watch?v=bnmK...

Kristi Noem’s week: • Sent 400 ICE agents to Colorado and made ONE arrest. • Got the Acting Director fired. • Played dress-up cosplay. • Cheated with Corey Lewandowski. • Wacked more puppies and goats.

😕

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

This is strength. Not Trump.

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

With talk about the deficit and the GOP raising the debt ceiling by 4 trillion, some scale might help. If dollars were seconds: *One million seconds: 12 days. *One billion seconds: 31 years. *One trillion seconds: 31,600 years. Not so simple as a few zeros…the increase is exponential.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

If they were cutting waste, why raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion? (rhetorical question) The grim truth is they are plundering our treasury, destroying programs that help/protect all Americans, AND giving themselves $4.5 trillion in tax cuts on top of that. Call it what it is…a criminal coup.

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

On 9/11, Trump called into Fox News -- to brag about how one of his buildings was now the tallest in lower Manhattan Now, Trump is slashing healthcare for 9/11 victims and first responders He doesn't care about America -- he only cares about HIMSELF THE WHOLE THING IS A CON

Dark Pence is back.

30 days *86 dead in plane crashes *58 cases of measles *TB outbreak *Tens of thousands fired *All our personal data compromised *(Former) allies alienated *47 aligned with a oligarch terrorist *f-elon and his team are ransacking our gov *Antivaxxer oversees HHS *Inflation rising Are we great again?

These people are psychotic and have no business in any leadership positions.
