Hey so they’re deporting people who legally came here to study.

I worked on this piece with a mission doctor in Malawi not afraid to speak out. It's a blow-by-blow of the #USAID debacle and those so-called waivers. thehill.com/opinion/5154...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Yesterday's protest in LA. Where were you? #50501

Finally our tax dollars put to good use...in this multi-million dollar propaganda campaign. Paid for by us. Where are the doge dorks when you need them? www.dhs.gov/medialibrary...

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

"working to swiftly rectify the situation..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Hey McConnell GFY, we’re here because of you. NOW you’re sounding the alarm? Too little too late you feckless bloat.

DOGE employee Alexandra Beynon runs MindBloom ..it's his Ketamine dealer! You cant make it up! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @ewarren.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov DO SOMETHING!

Roses are red Violets are blue

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is definitely one of the good ones. Today he HAMMERED Trump with a detailed list of all the prices that are going up because of Trump's trade wars. Make sure everyone sees this.

Hey the show is up on Apple Podcasts! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Remember the Republicans fearmongering about "Death Panels." Well, they are the ones putting together Death Panels, with draconian cuts that will kill Americans! Congress is putting tax breaks for billionaires over care for families. Stop Medicaid cuts—call 202-224-3121 now! #HandsOffOurMedicaid

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

The richest asshole in the world, a private fucking apartheid loving citizen, with connections to both Russia and China, now has direct access to U.S treasury data and more, as he continues to receive government subsidies to bolster his shit companies.. How is this not treasonous?

Max Fisher: "Wielding the power of the state to intimidate news agencies against reporting on the government's illegal abuses of power is literal authoritarianism. I'm not speaking figuratively, I'm not calling it a warning sign. It's authoritarianism. It's here."

JD Vance, whose wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants, advocated today for the rehiring of a DOGE engineer who was accused of posting “normalize Indian hate” on Twitter. What a pathetic, spineless coward!!

If you read one thing today, PLEASE READ THIS: robertreich.substack.com/p/doge-poop?...

Stay peaceful💙 Go make some change today! #BuildTheResistance

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

Trump is not a monarch. He cannot be allowed to erase this insurrection from our history simply to flatter his image. Join us in calling on Congress to hold him accountable for these and other abuses of power: ImpeachTrumpNow.org

"'It’s hard to imagine a bigger public diplomacy win for China than going forward with this kind of clumsy destruction of U.S. credibility'...” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Sharing my op-ed in The Philadelphia Inquirer: share.inquirer.com/atXUxz with a story that will make those who know me chuckle. Then please take the easy actions noted near the end. Biden can be the president to constitutionally protect gender before Trump takes office. Help pressure him!

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

This will be common in our new era. Republicans fail at governing and they will attempt to hide their failure by ending the gathering of data.

Contact your Senators, even if they are red, you have the right to have your voice heard! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Here's a piece I wrote a few years' back because I thought the #FoxNews audience should know. Seems worth sharing now given #petehegseth can't even defend against germs: dailycaller.com/2019/02/11/b...

Just documenting before Fox and the Republicans claim it's Trump.
