Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

I understand Apple Maps has added this to their map of Washington DC.

The egg situation at the local Costco is grim

Here is The Republican Plan 👇🏻

Polish defense experts say Poland’s military spending is now likely to increase from 4.7% of GDP this year to more than 6% next year. Emergency procurement on new weapon systems is expected.

After watching yesterday‘s Oval Office press conference, it seems pretty obvious that Musk Jr has been spending a lot of time on @bluesky.

just over here photoshopping muppets onto the cover of gq magazine: thread

NEW VIDEO: I have never seen as many federal judges angry with the federal government as there are right now. And one judge in Rhode Island seems poised to find someone in criminal contempt. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVzF...

At some point, Trump is going to realize, if the GOP is willing to change the Constitution to give him a third term and a lot of other things they wish to ignore, they will probably be willing to get rid of that pesky requirement for the President to be a natural born United States citizen. 🤔

Don’t stop using Google products because the company is xenophobic, stop using them because they’re trash. Mexico could probably pay them to add “sponsored by the Gulf of Mexico” and they’d at least consider it

Philly is a special place because, win or lose, something will definitely be set on fire

Yes he is.

Just going on Google Maps to tell them changing the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Why should I use a map platform that willing puts inaccurate info on a map?

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

🚨BREAKING: Federal court BLOCKS Trump plan to place 2200 USAID employees on administrative leave and orders 500 USAID employees to be reinstated while this case continues. A big victory for @democracyforward.bsky.social! Follow @democracydocket.com for full details. www.democracydocket.com

I tried cleaning up my language a bit but “fudge you all to Heck” just doesn’t have the same kind of impact.

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Of course they think they're the real victims here.

With all due respect, you're a United States Senator and that's a rent-a-cop from a private security firm with no authority to stop you. You can't just take no for an answer here.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

BREAKING: The US State Department flag has been spotted flying upside down—a universal signal of distress.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
