Rep Eric Swalwell to Noem as she won’t say if the MS-13 photo is a doctored photo: “I have a 7 year old, a 6 year old, and a 3 year old. I have a bullshit detector.”

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Holy shit. In a shocking unearthed video, Marco Rubio completely destroys Donald Trump for being a full of shit bully. Marco was hoping people would forget this…so don’t repost right now this very second!

By voting for the CR, Rep Jared Golden just gave the GOP a talking point of “bipartisan bill” and he also just voted to give up all leverage in pushing back against the administration. The spending power is congress’ only power. While i usually applaud bipartisanship, this is a travesty

With very few exceptions, people who voted for Trump in November (many for the third time) who do begin to come around enough to move them to action, will not have had their humanity awakened by seeing how much damage he is doing to so many people. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-trump-s...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

This is such a natural expression. We've all known it for a while. I mean, it applies to almost all of the orange guy's supplicants and sycophants, but/and Rubio is the one this term was made for.

Elise Stefanik is a complete embarrassment to the US, & to diplomacy. She's on the very, very wrong side of history, and she knows it. Voting with the bloc of nations that includes Russia and NK vs the rest of the world? US leadership is in a free fall.

Trump keeps saying US spent 350 billion defending Ukraine Its actually 140 billion but only 80 billion has been delivered. Billions went to American jobs- we gave Ukraine our weapons and constructed newer weaponry for US arsenal Europe has given far more $ than the US

I mean, Vought literally used the word "trauma" in speeches and media appearances to state what he intended to inflict on people who work in government. Not really any room for plausible deniability or unintended consequences here.

Breaking it, then profiting off the fix The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

I guess the right wing press corps has missed the ketamine addict who sits in on and or conducts every meeting and media appearance Trump is involved in? You know- the guy in a blazer and ill-fitting t-shirt, with the stupid black maga hat. Maybe holding a chain saw? Yeah, maybe ask him...

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

You know Donald Trump just can’t get his head around someone becoming wealthy by providing a service/product to the people of the world that benefits them…and does’t doesn’t require lying to them to get them to buy it. He hates people who can do that. Because he knows he can’t.

I've known @jeffjarvis.bsky.social for almost 25 years and the reason I've always respected him is that it is a genuine risk to his career and status for him to plainly say the truth on this kind of platform. And it has impact that he does so.

Around the world, people are dying as a direct result of Trump’s cuts to USAID. Disease outbreaks and starvation deaths are already increasing due to Trump’s malicious cuts. The “ripple effects” of Trump’s drive to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development are being felt…
