Pretty cool

Yes.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Rubio looks rather spineless.

Me neither Tom.

I just watched President Zelinski on Bret Baer. It was a lengthy discussion. Zelinski is sincere , great full to America and wants peace with security guarantees. Why can’t America give security guarantees? What’s the problem? Maybe because Putin would not be pleased?

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

Dumb Is an understatement.

Freaking amazing.

The Border ad featuring Kristi Noem is creepy.

Not the same Post as of the Watergate era.

Licking their chops to drink from the money trough

Our cowardly rep is doing phone town halls.

Making intentional mistakes is criminal.

Performative governing. BS

A quack! What a sick man.

Another asshole billionaire….

They’re tanking everywhere not just the E.U. Stale products and an asshole CEO

Not a the last straw, but the camel is getting tired.

Without government funds from federal and state of California, there would be no Tesla nor SpaceX. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Medicaid provides 40% of the funding for community health centers. Medicaid supports 2 out of 3 people in nursing homes. Medicaid provides health care to 41 million children. Trump and his Republican friends want to enact massive cuts to the program. We won't let them.

What could possibly go wrong?

Conventional thinking Needs to change.

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

Go Bernie! We love you!

Cost - benefit analysis? Nope. Just a stupid narrow-minded knee jerk reaction. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

This is how dictators talk.

I’m not a tax guy. Why isn’t anyone discussing this approach? How Congress can turn tariff lemons into lemonade: A border-adjustment tax www.brookings.edu/articles/how...

It feels like a metaphor for his first month. Crashes and chaos

No way!

Jose Barco, a decorated U.S. Army veteran once based out of Fort Carson who served 2 tours in Iraq, was taken into custody last month by ICE because his citizenship papers, which were supposed to be processed while he was in the Army, were lost. Read his story:

Isn’t VAT a form of sales tax?

Wondering if it’s good idea for so much if our space and satellite programs to be in the control of one trillionaire? Under Trump, NASA meetings are on hold and missions are up in the air

As I said to a reporter today: DOGE is not a management project, centered on efficiency; it is a political project, centered on shrinking the federal government and politicizing core functions.

So Trump plans to meet only with Putin and exclude Zelinski? Didn’t he do the same in Afghanistan? We know how that worked out.

Yes. And doesn’t Trump hate EV’s?

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

Message: Ukraine, you’re screwed.

Didn’t he read Art of the Deal?

Opens the door for Russian shenanigans

Do you want NOAA to be privatized? I think it’s nuts! www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Data and facts are hard to argue with.

China plays the long game. They are betting Trump will enable China to enhance its global standing and diminish the U.S. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/02/06/c...
