The US was actually already going to get priority status to Ukraine's rare earth mineral mine contracts, but the master negotiator Trump completely burnt that bridge.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she’s weighing removing NYC Mayor Eric Adams from office after four of his top deputies resigned in the latest fallout from the Justice Department’s push to drop his bribery and corruption case.

It’s fitting that DOGE is just one big ‘rug pull.’ Elon, DOGE, Trump, and the MAGA media announce they've found an instance of massive fraud—one so absurd it on its face. Within hours, it collapses under the weight of its own lies. Then, without hesitation, they move right onto the next scam.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Elon Musk attacked me on the platform he owns. I will not back down from the fight for democracy. @briantylercohen.bsky.social and I discuss. I hope you watch. youtu.be/XsR4QzK4yZ4

Van Hollen: "My one vote I cast for a member of the Trump cabinet was for now Secretary Rubio. I regret to say I regret that vote, because once installed in office he is essentially abandoning the positions he took here." (Who could've foreseen ... )

On the left is a middle-age man wearing a ball-cap at work, proving he has no idea of what is appropriate. On the right is an old man wearing 3 quarts of liquid foundation, proving he has no idea of what is appropriate. A nation run by incompetent idiots.

Seeing an unelected South African billionaire in the Oval Office giving a briefing next to the mute and demented US President is jarring to say the least… They are pulling back the curtain to let us all know who is in charge.

Spread the word NO ONE VOTED FOR MUSK

He stood over Trump while the president sat behind the Resolute Desk, “delivering a picture of presidential subservience the likes of which we have never seen—the most powerless image of a president of the United States ever created by a camera,” O’Donnell said.

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

And if you call for an Uber or Lyft and get a Tesla, cancel it and tell them why.

Thinking back to the sort of things the press was worried about around this point in the Obama administration.

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” BREAKING: US inflation heats up to 3%, higher than expected.

The Trump team keeps comparing themselves to movie villains — Sauron, the Death Star, etc — but even I’m surprised they’ve now embraced “trafficking migrants in shipping containers” as their identity

Senate Democrats went for the kill here, damn.

here is a fact: undocumented immigrants paid more in federal taxes than Bezos and Musk combined.

I think Colombia backs down. But kinda hope they don’t. Just gonna leave these here as a reference

Working on getting those prices down I see.

almost every single word that Sen. John Kennedy says about Dr. Fauci and covid in this clip is false. It's remarkable how Trumpers have concocted a completely fictional history of the pandemic.

Now we begin the journey to pariah state. — Trump orders tariffs, visa restrictions on Colombia over rejection of deportation flights apnews.com/article/colo...

The actions of an autocrat, not a president. Firing them isn’t meant to send a message to others. Obey in advance or else.

House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021. What happened to backing the Blue? Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder. Don’t ever lecture America again. About anything.

All these women who turned in January 6 terrorists are in danger tonight

I never in my life thought I would see a sitting member of the U.S. Congress gleefully call our nation "the dominant predator." This is sick.

Unlike Obama, who hobbled into office with a 7.2% victory in the popular vote, Donald Trump takes office with a clear mandate after a 1.5% victory in the popular vote.

Trump who negotiated a backroom deal with the Taliban during his last presidency to place them in power, is making sure Afghans that helped US forces are killed by the Taliban. This group includes family members of active-duty U.S. military personnel and former Afghan soldiers.

Donald Trump is a vile human being.

LMMFAO... so today I used DuckDuckGo to search "what did asshole sign today", and at the top of the list is a USA Today article captioned "(Asshole's name redacted) preps 100 executive actions. Here's what could be coming". AAAAAHAHAHHAA... they knew exactly who I was talking about!!

Carrie Underwood refused to shake former Vice President Kamala Harris hand on National television, just like that senator’s husband. A lapdog to the patriarchy refusing to respect a Black woman who is more accomplished & more loved is American She’s neither original or unique

This makes my blood boil in ways I cannot describe.

Well this is already out of hand. Americans are being forced to follow President, JD Vance etc on Facebook. Zuckerberg has blocked any ability to unfollow as well. That’s on top of TikTok blocking any searches of “rigged election” or “facism”. More info here: www.youtube.com/live/PgXOkfV...

Stop doing this shit.

UPDATE # 28,343: Every once in a while, the hellsite formerly known as Twitter still delivers… Amazingly executed burn🤌 No notes.

ICYMI — the same day @GovBillLee called for a special session to rush his vouchers through (tying them to hurricane relief aid) we learn 20 TN (GOP) lawmakers got subpoenas for a corruption trial @VoteBo says is linked to “voucher bribery” www.rawstory.com/nearly-20-te...

Sick. The lot of them. It’s up to us. These capitalist fucks only care about money, not our country. Stop buying coca-koolaid.
