Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

It would behoove everybody to think of this week as a declaration of war. One thing to keep in mind: wars are not won by brute force alone, they're won by psy-ops & demoralizing our morale. Please reasses information you read from the point of view: why does it benefit the enemy if I believe this?

The truth is Harris won the election, it’s nobodies fault but the oligarchy that Trump is in power right now. The election was clearly stolen and any country in the world would have been mass protesting the day after. Stop blaming each other and start looking at your real enemies. #3E

The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.

Donald Trump announces completely unapologetically that he’s going to displace all the Palestinians, bulldoze Gaza, occupy it and turn it into Fucking Mar-a-Lago and my feed is full of my fellow Arab of Americans blaming it on…. Biden and Harris. I can’t. I just fucking can’t.

US rep Al Green has announced the motion to impeach Trump over his threats to invade Gaza and help Israel finish the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. "I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done." #FreeGaza📹🧵

I remember when Politico wrote an article saying that Susie Wiles is “so good at managing Donald Trump.” The look on her face when he said Palestinians from Gaza shouldn’t go back says otherwise.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

To our allies, I am so sorry this is happening. It’s sad to think you can no longer count on the United States of America, and…very possibly…have to fear the U.S. Believe me, this is NOT what most of America wants, no matter what the election results might have indicated.
