Present day – in our galaxy.

How many Park Ranger salaries could this have paid for? lhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-kristi-noem-200-million-dhs-ad-campaign-thanks-president-1235276324/

“The energy transition is failing!” Just leaving this here…

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

“It took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours..to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the 5-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it.” -Gov. Pritzker www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

I like Republican Rash better but either way...

He’s voted yes on every Trump pick to come through so far, and he’s gone out of his way — and beyond what most senators do — to cheer the nominees across the finish line. ow.ly/1uj750V4fkb

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

It should be clear why Trump and Elon are trying to gut the IRS.

Now why do you think it is that DOJ dismissed charges against SpaceX WITH prejudice but Emil Bove plans to hold charges over Eric Adams' head for almost four more years? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

They want to continuing criming.

*Taps 🎤 * Is this thing on? Trump wants control of the USPS so he can fuck with mail in voting. TRUMP WANTS CONTROL OF THE USPS SO HE CAN FUCK WITH MAIL IN VOTING.

This. Exactly.

🚨 NEW: Wow, Trump's former VP Mike Pence just called Trump out for lying about Ukraine.

MWM bragging about being the pitcher now?!

🤣

"One casualty of the mass firings across federal health agencies are regulators who ensure drugs for pets and livestock are safe and effective." Not even our pets are safe anymore from this Trump Administration. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Four years ago, a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol as part of an attempt to halt the peaceful transfer of power. Today, and every day, we remember the events of that awful day. We must all recommit to protecting our democracy from those who would undermine or end it.

History will remember your response. #ResistTrump

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

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

1933 - Adolf Hitler signs a document saying only he can make the law. 2025 - Trump signs an executive order saying only he and his Attorney General know what the law is.

Thanks to the person I swiped the link from.

TRUMP'S OLIGARCHY IS BORN 15 years after Citizens United, the Supreme Court's disastrous decision has come to fruition. Billionaires have taken over our government, and Trump's inauguration is just the beginning of their reign. #StopTheOligarchy

Good clip if anyone needs it: Kansas farm spokesman talking about how a USAID program was created as financial aid for farmers. [Link goes directly to his timestamp.] youtu.be/_3oXl_-viAg?...

Meanwhile, the official White House account is tweeting videos of undocumented immigrants being chained up and sent on deportation flights as "ASMR."

Buy a set of encyclopedias, the real hard cover books, nothing online. World Book still makes them. Or buy a used set that isn't too old. You can find them on eBay and at flea markets. Books are more important now than ever. Teach your children and grandchildren history, facts, truth.

Personally I think it is not beautiful when a bill kicks millions of people off their health insurance and cuts food assistance down to just $1.60 per person per meal to partially pay for something that cuts taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k while giving only $1k to typical households

Political scientist Sergey Mikheyev weighed in on the situation: "In this situation, we should make it clear for the Europeans: now we can really strike Brussels, London or Paris, because we can forget about Article 5. You can forget the notion that Americans would step in on your behalf."

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Almost 60K Federal employees living in Oklahoma. Think this won't affect you?!

Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency. It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism. Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic. The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.
