Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

The other platform has put me on a 7 day vacation for cracking a joke.

The fact that Donald Trump blames Ukraine for Putin's invasion is appalling.

Oh.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Print this, fill it out, and mail it in. CC every Representative, Senator, and Governor. Pass it on. #WeThePeople

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

A colleague and I have been tracking those segregationist changes and vetting alternatives. I refuse to buy from those abandoning DEI. Here is the spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Knowledge is power…

Read the added content at the bottom for proof of how DT’s administration are pushing lies. Isolationism is something the U.S. tried in mid the 1930’s. history.state.gov/milestones/1.... Add in the Smooth-Hawley Tariff Act and now we are walking lock step into history with that time.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

MEASLES UPDATE: Additional cases of measles "are likely to occur" as an outbreak of the virus is spreading rapidly, the Texas Department of State Health Services warned in its latest update. Thus far, 48 cases have been confirmed in West Texas — 24 of which were reported in the last four…

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. Incredibly, they didn't know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.

@youranoncentral.bsky.social please tell whomever is scheduling the capital protests that these need to be on the weekend. To many people can not afford to take off work and we need visibly huge numbers.

Surprised at the WSJ. Expected them to spin this for Trump, not make him look weak.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

My mother's had breast cancer, hip replacement, sepsis, fractured back, stroke, shingles, and cataracts. My father had idiopathic nocturnal seizures, tachycardia, heart incidents, and cataracts. Hospital bill? Absolutely nothing. American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare. 🏥

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

This is terrifying.

BREAKING: 88 FBI agents who worked on Trump cases were just physically escorted out of the Washington Field office per a source.

@jack-e-smith.bsky.social Is this not the same moves that we saw in Germany?

🚨EMERGENCY VIDEO DROP: TRUMP MIDNIGHT MASSACRE OF INSPECTORS GENERAL youtu.be/NULZsee4mMM?...

Trump's Gestapo raided a business in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday and detained undocumented residents as well as citizens, including a US military veteran. Like I said, if you have brown skin, have your papers in order bcz ICE is indiscriminately rounding people up. This bullshit is Naziesque. 😡

Mexico has denied the US ethnic cleansing "deportation" flights, after the US illegally flew into Mexican airspace attempting to dump people into Mexico.

Stat man says Kamala Won this Election, but Republicans used the Jim Crow 1946 Klan Voting system that purged, cancelled, disqualified Millions of Votes and were Thrown in the Garbage, minority votes. GA, PA, AZ. And this is how Trump Won. Trump and Elon knew. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LN6...

BREAKING: We're suing DOGE along with a diverse group of organizations to get it to follow the law or shut down
