I'm sure DOGE was nowhere to be seen, one of the few areas that could have benefited from its scrutiny.

The blowup between Elon and Trump hasn’t ended DOGE, it’s still expanding. Russ Vought now plans to institutionalize DOGE across the federal government, and Elon’s staffers are embedded deep within key agencies.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

📌This is real. This is Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee mocking the brutal slaughter of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband. We are rounding up and deporting the wrong people in this fucking country.

🥳 No Kings Day was an unmitigated SUCCESS, but we’re JUST getting started! You’ve likely heard of the 3.5% rule about the number of non-violent protesters needed to create a shift in power. ✅ I highly recommend the latest PSA for an interview with the political scientist who theorized it.

#BlueSkyVets MSM, don’t think we didn’t notice your sidestep of Spkr. Johnson’s tarring reference. You’re cowards directing readers to medieval period but, this action was employed by the KKK against blacks. Yeah, you’re the messenger! Source: bit.ly/4lahE1a #ProudBlue #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

MAGA is a violent movement that promotes violence. All violent protestors on Jan 6 who attacked police which led to death and serious injuries have been pardoned.

Reporters say that the Minnesota assassin is a Donald Trump supporter and a fierce opponent of reproductive rights. Mike Lee says he is a Marxist. For busy social media users, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Infants can literally just stop breathing and die with no warning from “whooping cough” (pertussis) infection. They do not necessarily even get the infamous cough that older children and adults get (and can be severe enough to break ribs). Do not let unvaccinated people around your newborns (or you)

This was 100% politically motivated. Omaha went blue in 2024, the raid happened at the same time Omaha’s first Black mayor was to take office after booting his MAGA opponent. The company used E-Verify, tried to comply, but were told it could be cheated - despite being DHS’ own system. Pure bullshit…

ALERT: Elon is now a national security threat asset. Through his work as ‘special government employee’ running DOGE he has accumulated sensitive intelligence at all US gov’t agencies. If Trump pushes too far, Elon can jump ship w/an American foe. This can be catastrophic.

Protesters have come face-to-face in recent days with members of law enforcement wielding “nonlethal” weapons. While these are regularly used in the United States to disperse public demonstrations, they can cause serious injuries.

Given the fact that Republicans are actively pushing the insane lie that the deaths are on Democrats’ hands it really is important that political leaders and the press make this case clearly.

Curfew was set for 8pm. LAPD started corralling protestors more than an hour before, not letting them leave, so that they could be arrested for violating curfew. Oh, and all nearby Metro stops were closed, so even if they tried, they COULDN'T leave. www.latintimes.com/lapd-accused...

This isn't the first time I've seen video of Las Vegas law enforcement officers assaulting people trying to videotape them.Stay away from Las Vegas.Side note: Las Vegas casinos are extremely conservative with their money, but that's why you have gambling all over your cell phone these days.

Welp, the verdict is in… Trump’s parade is a $40 million taxpayer-funded flop. A waste. A total dud, and he’s not looking happy about it. Actually, no one is. A fascist cosplay gone wrong.

Silent protest? Service members not walking in formation, especially during a military parade meant to prop up a fascist, speaks volumes to me. Curious what others think. (5.9 sec mark)
