Tesla sales in the E.U. in January 2024: 15,310 Tesla sales in the E.U. in January 2025: 7,517 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If you’re into seeing Elon & DOGE get called out for their lies about *savings* — this account is doing a very nice job of it: x.com/electricfutu...

The VERY BEST article on what happened at the WH today by @radiofreetom.bsky.social . Thank you, Tom Nichols, you NAILED IT.

My grandfather and the Greatest Generation didn’t fight in World War II to see our country side with murderous thugs like Putin. This is a disgrace.

What a disgusting display: Vance proves he's an asshole and Trump proves he's in Putin's pocket (again). Watch the video: their behavior is shameful and it's dangerous.

Mike Slater survived four tours of duty as a US Army infantryman, risking his life in Iraq and Afghanistan. But that wasn’t enough to spare him from the budget ax now being recklessly wielded by DOGE at federal employees.

North Carolina “Thank you Jesus” founder, Lucas Hunt, has been arrested for possessing videos of little girls being sexually abused. www.wfmynews2.com/article/news...

The New Mexico congressional delegation is pleading with RFK Jr. to promote vaccination and provide other resources in the wake of the measles outbreak. Instead, Kennedy says that the death of a school-aged child as “not unusual”. He can’t get out of his anti-vax corner. His ego is paramount.

Federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE

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.
