Pentagon has the largest discretionary budget in the federal government—over $800 billion a year—yet it consistently fails 2 track where the money goes. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration is focused on handing IRS taxpayer data 2 Musk’s DOGE team instead of addressing real financial mismanagement.

If MAGA really cared about “government efficiency,” they’d be asking why billionaires and defense contractors get a free pass while regular Americans have their financial privacy put at risk.

Funny how the same people saying “Trump isn’t a magician, he can’t fix prices overnight” had zero patience when Biden inherited Trump’s $7.8 trillion debt—the largest of any president. No grace, no understanding—just immediate condemnation. The hypocrisy is loud.

A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

Encouraging children to be who they are is suicide prevention. Forcing children to be who the ruling party wants them to be is the opposite. Are we all clear on this?

Was just reviewing the Department of Transportation chapter of Project 2025 and was reminded that it also calls for reducing flight hours requirements and/or permitting simulator training for certification for commercial pilots (p. 631). Pair that with a gutted air traffic control corps.

Why are taxpayer dollars being used to fund a White House Faith Office that serves one religious agenda while simultaneously gutting public education?

2 everyone who voted 4 Trump-THIS is what U wanted? He is openly advocating ethnic cleansing, calling 2 forcibly remove 2.3M Palestinians & have the U.S. “take over” & rebuild it. That’s not peace. That’s occupation. That’s a war waiting to happen. RU ready 2 send UR kids 2 fight in Trump’s war?

It's not just a coup. It's a coup being executed by white supremacists and Christofascists. And Darren Beattie isn't merely some new minor functionary—he's been given what's considered one of the ten most powerful jobs at Foggy Bottom. He wants us to abandon Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Rep. Jamie Raskin: "Elon Musk, you didn't create USAID. The United States Congress did for the American people. And just like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are!"

🚨 Privacy at risk? 🚨 Elon Musk’s hand-picked team of young engineers reportedly has access to federal data from agencies like OPM & GSA. Does this violate the Privacy Act of 1974? Who’s overseeing this? Our data security shouldn’t be for sale.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

If only 4% of DEI hires are Black, then it’s clear DEI hasn’t been the massive handout that opponents claim. It’s just another example of how people will resist anything they think is helping Black people, even if it’s actually helping them too.

Processing and deporting people isn’t a new challenge—we already have detention centers designed for that purpose. Guantánamo Bay isn’t one of them. If deportation is the goal, why not use existing immigration facilities instead of a military prison notorious for human rights abuses?

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

The DC plane crash was tragic—but Trump, Hegseth, and Duffy’s response was even worse. Instead of leadership, we got blame-shifting, racist dog whistles, and zero accountability. They froze air traffic hiring, let Musk run off the FAA head, and now dodge responsibility. Unfit. Dangerous.

Think about this and how Fox and the GOP would politicize an Army helicopter crashing into a commercial airplane days after a Black woman president tried to gut air safety & installed the least qualified man ever as Defense Secretary. THAT is the degree to which Dems should politicize this crash.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy will be dealing with the first U.S. commercial airline flight crash in 16 years. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will be dealing with the first deadly collision between a military aircraft and a commercial aircraft in many decades.

If you call a concentration camp a "detention center," it's still a concentration camp. Just like if you call the Gulf of Mexico, the "Gulf of America," it's still the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.
