We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

How long before the WaPo issues a formal apology for how unfairly they treated Nixon in the 1970s, and before US history textbooks run with the interpretation that Nixon was a president who just wanted to make America great and who was a victim of a witch hunt by the liberal media and the Democrats?

What I genuinely don’t understand. Bezos has more money than he‘ll ever be able to spend. But he can’t afford moral integrity?

Some sound advice:

🤔

“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services. We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.” Patriots. apnews.com/article/doge...

I predict that the person who will appear most in Democratic ads across the country in federal, state and local races in the 2026 midterm elections will be Elon Musk, and he is going to elect a lot of Democrats and cost many Republican incumbents their seats.

Trump and Musk are literally looking to ram through a budget that would give billionaires like them a MASSIVE tax cut -- while eliminating healthcare for the poorest Americans, and jacking up YOUR taxes They're going to take a TRILLION of your dollars and give it to themselves

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

Bwahahaha. Mar-a-Lago was listed as "Kremlin Headquarters" for a little while on Google Maps. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The screens at the Department of Housing and Urban Development were playing this video this morning

Permit for the chainsaw required in Canada! #elonmusk #canada

Love to see it!

He nails it.

Trump literally named as head of the Social Security administration a low level employee who was suspended and being investigated for illegally sharing classified data with Elon Musk. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.

When the GOP says they are cutting Mandatory spending they are saying they are cutting Medicare and Social Security. Examples of mandatory spending: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Interest on the federal debt. That’s our money!!! They are stealing!!!

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

JUST IN: “A federal judge in Maryland on Friday blocked the Trump administration from terminating federal grants and contracts related to DEI as called for in executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

It’s a cult.

GOP Congress men and women vote for DonOld’s bullshit because they are “scared shitless” of MAGA and political violence?! Dems aren’t backing down and they’re just as vulnerable! Toughen up and do your jobs! #ImpeachTrumpNow #NoBendingTheKnee #GrowAFuckingSpine www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

We must all band together. There are far more of us than there are of them. Never forget that, no matter how difficult this may become!!

THIS!! Actionable task!! We need to do THIS, standing up as an angry crowd, questioning your local representative (especially a Rethuglican one)!! www.rawstory.com/mccormick-do...

Fiery speech from Gov Pritzker raising the alarm and urging us to fight back against the trump/musk administration. He’s sounding the alarm because it took the Nazi’s a little over a month to dismantle a constitutional government. But with all of us together, can fight this because we must.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

IL Gov JB Pritzker is sounding the 🚨 alarm Pritzker is stepping up to fill a Dem leadership void as the Trump-Musk regime carries out its coup attempt --- Please read Prtizker's entire thread

Democrats should give Jasmine Crockett, AOC and Pritzker apartments right next to CNN and MSNBC so they can be on TV all day everyday.

Hochul is really leaning into this, good for her. Any savvy Democrat should realize what their base wants right now

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Stephen Miller explodes trying to defend DOGE. “When faced with even the simplest questions about DOGE, Donald Trump’s former immigration ghoul couldn’t keep his cool long enough to make it through an interview on CNN.” newrepublic.com/post/191665/...

Michael Steele: “ I’d just like to see somebody wake the hell up and get excited about the fact that your country is under assault! “

Hey Trump, why don’t you suck on this map for a while. Love, Canada🇨🇦

I don’t know how much suffering his voters will have to endure before they realize they’ve been conned, but I do know I shall enjoy watching them suffer.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

1/Last August, there was reporting on a conversation Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 who was confirmed just by the Senate over the objection of every Dem & Independent to head OMB (sort of like the HR office for the feds), had with people he thought were donors. But they were journalists.

The Senate has confirmed Russell Vought as White House budget director despite Democrats' ire over his ties to Project 2025. Read more: cnn.it/3CBWgRN

While other nominees have dominated the headlines, Russell Vought, who was just confirmed, might be the most dangerous of all. One of the principal architects of Project 2025 will now lead OMB—the same office that illegally halted all federal funding last week, sending the country into chaos.
