The media needs to call this what it is: This is a techno-oligarchic hostile takeover of the federal machinery of the United States of America. This is not governing. It is lawless. It is not based on principles of electoral representation. This is a criminal takeover of the federal government.

We’re in a constitutional crisis, the markets are tanking, unemployment is on the rise, his tariff extortions are a disaster, a nasty recession looms on the horizon, and he’s polling lower than salmonella… …so naturally, he thinks it’s time to glam up Columbus Day.

The essence of U.S. Christianity is that there is a direct proportion between how much someone loudly proclaims that they are a Christian and how much they despise the actual stuff that Jesus enjoined people to do.

Looking forward to the Fox News goons taking that 2-year old down a few pegs. “That infant is no angel, despite what the libs want you to believe. Did you know she cried a lot? I heard she’s not even potty trained. Disgusting.”

Wow I said yesterday we probably weren't far from the first national poll where Trump's approval dipped into the 30s. And here we are: AP-NORC: 39% approve, 59% disapprove. Best wishes to all who celebrate. apnorc.org/projects/100...

Yo resisters! You feelin it? You’re not alone. If you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention-but paying attention is exhausting. Be good to yourself. Step away if you need to. Ask for help if it’s too much. Hit up your fave #altgov if you need resources, an ear, whatevs. We’re here for you.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
