Well, my appearance on @joyannreid.bsky.social's show last night has MAGA and conservative media all up in a tizzy. I just call it like I see it. POC voters for Trump are Chickens for Colonel Sanders and Trump is acting like Putin's bitch. I guess hit dogs holler in A Minor.

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

It's not just one instance of a billion being only a million: "DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes," a team of New York Times reporters found. The figures are "full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

"This chapter will be written, not simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office, nor by the wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, written by us, by WE THE PEOPLE." - Kamala Harris, NAACP Image Awards (02.22.25)

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Kennedy Center ticket sales dropped roughly 50 percent week-over-week after Trump announced his takeover www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Trump appoints Kash Patel acting head of the ATF. If you don’t think that Trump is intentionally trying to collapse this country there’s no hope for you.

As if it's not bad enough that Kash Patel is now FBI Director, he will also be leading the ATF. Oy vey. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Trump’s Housing Cuts = More Homelessness Trump is gutting HUD’s homelessness office by 84%, risking $3.6B in aid for shelter, mental health care, and housing. Experts warn this will force more onto the streets and delay funding for nonprofits nationwide. A crisis made worse by reckless cuts.

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

AZ AG Kris Mayes: Let’s talk about that visual of Elon Musk with the ridiculous chainsaw. I don’t think he’s ever actually used a chainsaw in his life. I don’t know what that was—some lame attempt to make himself look manly.

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

If you’re unsure what to do, ask your supervisors. Otherwise, don’t respond. Musk et al have zero legal authority to demand this and dish out consequences for non-compliance.

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

I wonder if the Rapist will stop drinking Diet Coke now. stocks.apple.com/AaSGhQfT9Sji...

"Kind people aren't naive. Don't mistake them for doormats. They've seen a lot and been through even more, yet they still choose to be examples of what's good. But when pushed to the limit, they have no problem demonstrating the emotional strength & resilience they're fully capable of".- Vex King -

Dear God. The new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, told Trump: "I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir." This country is sick at its core.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

They are firing those who keep us safe. This is not a strategy for a smarter, more efficient federal workforce that better serves working Americans. Our people deserve so much more.

Federal workers have been given about 48 hours to explain what they accomplished last week. Elon Musk says not responding will be taken as a resignation. apnews.com/article/elon...

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Ukraine rally in DC today 🇺🇦

200 million dollars of waste.

You are angry about a children’s book about democracy.

Wise man…

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Why is KHive the only group that gets how government works? This “DO SOMETHING” crap is really starting to upset me. The group that needs to do something are the GOP members of Congress who are enabling this tyranny from the congressional majority.

Good Saturday Morning! 🌅🌞☘️ There is an Irish saying that “Laughter is wine for the soul”. During these trying times, please don’t forget to laugh. It might just be one “thing” that gets us through the next four years!💙🌹☘️😉

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Folks, whatever we think Diddy did… it’s worse than that. https://nypost.com/2025/02/21/us-news/sean-diddy-combs-lawyer-quits-sex-trafficking-case-under-no-circumstances-can-i-continue/

A reminder. This Thursday at the Comedy Chateau in LA with TomArnold and Hal Sparks. How do politics affect Free Speech and Comedy. Or "WTF?" All proceeds go to LA Fire Relief.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

If you are a government employee and get DOGEs email asking you for what you did this past week please pass along
