As Trump was bullying the awesome Governor of Maine, he claimed that he is the Federal Law. He is NOT !!! This is the moment in American history when we the people must save our country from a dictator & his stooges & oligarchs. We all need to push back while we still can. .

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

“Far from being dismissed as a useful idiot to hostile foreign powers, the British press continues to allow Farage to portray himself as a true British patriot, while he spends as much time as he possibly can outside of this country telling lies about us for money” open.substack.com/pub/adambien...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

This is absolutely outrageous! How can they seriously take someone who’s completed a probationary period, & been retained as a permanent employee, & reclassify them as probationary again? It’s beyond stupid, & is apparently illegal. Not that that matters anymore 😒 www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

How long is this gonna go on? The mango shitgibbon and his MAGAmorons make something up, state it as a fact without any evidence, and the so-called free media reports it as a fact, even though they know it's a lie. Their argument is, "We're just reporting what he said". But really, it's collusion.

Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war three years ago! 🤦‍♀️ He stated that those complaining for not being part of the talks [Ukrainians] should have made a deal 3 years ago, shouldn’t have started it 3 years ago. What an utter bastard. How dare he?

Incredibly disappointing to see the PM continue to resist calls to make hospices exempt from the NICs rise. Hospices do vital work in communities across the UK – like Rowcroft in Torquay, which does amazing work, but now must find an additional £225,00 to cover this increased tax.
