Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

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)

🚨CONGRESS Controls the Power of the Purse — NOT Trump or DOGE 🚨

He nails it.

Putin is a dictator, says Trump supporter @NewYork Post: “Vladimir Putin is solely responsible for this war. He is the one who started it, and the one who committed unspeakable horrors. Any peace that appeases Russia will not be looked on kindly by history.” nypost.com/2025/02/20/o...

Trump’s poll numbers continue to fall! www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

— 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.

Amanda Zurawski has been named one of TIME magazine’s Women of the Year. Amanda’s Story: Citing the state’s abortion laws, Texas doctors denied Amanda Zurawski emergency medical care when her water broke at only 18 weeks of pregnancy. It was September of 2021, and Amanda was miscarrying. Her…

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

And it will continue to fall, as he cintinues to fail time.com/7259417/trum...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you.   Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾    He doesn't care about you!

Cutting 84% of staff who manage disaster relief funds at HUD would be a disaster itself. It means slower aid after fires, hurricanes and floods—hurting families, businesses, and communities. LESS staff = MORE delays, waste, and fraud. More incompetence and chaos from this admin.

His words continue to guide us today “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant” Martin Luther King in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1964.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Elon Musk is using government to serve himself. But tearing down government won’t fix it. We need smart policies that create opportunity and support working families—not just the billionaires.

Layoffs due to Trump/Musk policies. How is that making "America Great Again"? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/b...

This week, as Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” was attempting to further gut the US government, his rocket company SpaceX was cementing a NASA contract adding millions of dollars to its already massive deal with the space agency. jacobin.com/2025/02/musk...

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

ICE raids in schools, hospitals, and churches are turning places of learning, healing, and worship into places of fear and suffering. Our Protecting Sensitive Locations Act would ban ICE from conducting enforcement actions from within 1000 feet of these sacred spaces.

A fun fact about tuberculosis: It influenced fashion! In a response to germ theory and concern about spreading disease, floor-length dresses for women and facial hair for men fell out of fashion by the early 1900s. A not-fun fact about TB is that up to 1 in 7 people who have ever died, died of TB.

Trump promised that inflation would go down on “Day 1” — what happened? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

CEOs and bankers souring fast on the Musk/Trump Presidency. www.wsj.com/business/dea...

Trump has spent literally half of his presidency at Mar-a-Lago.

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.

and Musk continue their assault on U. S. farmers. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

BAIER: Would the Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza? TRUMP: No, they wouldn't

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Donald Trump spent $18 million on security to watch the Show Bowl in person. But DOGE wants to shut down Medicaid to save money. DODGY!

Why is Trump the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl? Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.

What has anybody heard about the 24 hour #economicblackout planned for February 28?

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.
