Extortion, pure and simple.

$200 million would pay 2,000+ (assuming the average federal worker salary) for an entire year. So a REAL leader, if giving the choice, between 2,000 jobs or a commercial thanking themself would choose: A. 2,000 employees keeping their jobs or B. Themself www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Delusional old man. His approval rating is tanking.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Putinization of America

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.

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Good work, MAGA voters. Especially those of you in Tornado Alley.

What I’ve been saying (screaming). Now there’s data.

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.
