The Mar-a-Lago crew might not care about hurricanes in Florida. But gutting disaster recovery will hurt the same people Donald Trump promised to help.

Trump says the same thing over and over and over. He said on January 6th, if you don't fight like hell you won't have a country anymore. He said it about Ukraine yesterday. He's a one trick pony

To the shock of all our allies, “Vance told a series of misleading stories designed to demonstrate that European democracies aren’t democratic.” www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

PSA: If you’re going to go around referring to yourself as the “king” of America you sure as fuck don’t get to call a democratically elected foreign leader a “dictator.”

Macron has just urged the French to join the military reserve. “We are entering a new era”. France will have to spend more on defence. “The threat that Russia represents imposes choices on us” (Live exchange on social media)

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Trump is a MFin' Russian Agent. There is no denying it now. He is the #CyberianCandidate Read it on my substack open.substack.com/pub/malcolmn...

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director. He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/kash-patel-in-his-own-words

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

If you were wondering if there is a word to describe how the United States is currently being governed, why, yes, there is: kakistocracy!

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Ok that made me laugh

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.
