Can’t have global warming if we shut off all the climate data Can’t have a pandemic if we shut down all the public health monitoring systems Can’t have a recession if we stop tracking economic indicators A+ plan, nothing can possibly go wrong

In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular." "You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

“Whether it’s Meta or Amazon or Bezos, it’s clear that Trump runs the show. That’s incredibly worrying. The whole job of the Fourth Estate is to hold the powerful accountable — not to bend the knee.” @oliverdarcy.bsky.social @atrupar.com open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Clearly maintaining the White House dress code is very important

MAGA influencers are out in full force tonight, making up things that were not in this resolution. Congrats on getting your $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, $19 trillion in added deficit spending, and $880 billion in Medicaid cuts through this initial step, though.

They were only off by about $231 million.

Um...Is he okay?

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

NEWS: The MeidasTouch Podcast is officially the #1 podcast in the U.S. per the newly released Podscribe industry rankings, with 57.7 MILLION downloads and views per month

posted this as a joke and it somehow worked lol

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

1. He's right. It's asymmetric and has huge huge reach. 2. He's admitting Fox's role in the propaganda.

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Elon Musk was mocked after raging against "unelected bureaucrats" in an Oval Office rant oblivious to the fact that he was describing himself.

even Newsmax is like, dafuq was that

Trump: "Like on tractors that can handle anything from hurricanes to lightning to anything. They use magnets. It's a new theory -- magnets. They're gonna lift the planes up. And it doesn't work."

Drake should have to give a post-game press conference where he explains what happened tonight

SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! THIS ONE’S FOR YOU PHILLY!

This is insane

"nonononononononono"

Doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican—this government isn’t on your side. Trump’s government is for billionaires and big corporations. 🚨NEW OVERNIGHT: Russell Vought, Trump’s acting CFPB director, ordered all employees to stop working – including fighting financial abuse.

“The end goal is replacing the human workforce with machines,” said a U.S. official closely watching DOGE activity. “Everything that can be machine-automated will be. And the technocrats will replace the bureaucrats.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Trump Attorney General memo reinstating the death penalty leaked to me

These accidents keep happening.

3 hours to leave her house. This is how they treat a 4-star Admiral and Commandant of the Coast Guard. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

These DOGE guys' phone numbers & addresses are easy to find, in case anyone wants to file a FOIA request for all their communications (including those on any personal devices used to conduct government business), or serve them with evidence preservation demand letters in anticipation of litigation

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

genuinely baffling to me that you can talk to any “anti-woke” person and not understand their goals. how can you be tricked by them! genuinely mind boggling, average american brain

The egg price crowd has been awfully quiet since the price of eggs nearly doubled on Trump's watch-- and the price of just about everything else is set to rise in the coming days and weeks.

A reminder: in the past, when a singer's mic cut out during the U.S. National Anthem at a hockey game in Canada, the entire arena stepped in, singing every single word of the Star Spangled Banner together. Tonight, thanks to Trump, Canada is booing during the National Anthem.

"Whitaker stepped down as FAA administrator on January 20th, the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration, after clashing with Elon Musk... Musk publicly called on Whitaker to resign after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes." www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Peter Welch on Trump's response to the DCA collision: "I was really shocked on a human level that there would be such disregard for the emotional tragedy and suffering of the families."

NYT reports an air traffic controller’s seat was empty at DCA last night www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Trump’s DC air crash press conference is an embarrassing disaster. Offensive and abusive. Full of lies about DEI at the FAA. Hateful and shameful political rhetoric at this most painful of times. He is completely insane. This is not normal. #25thAmendmentNow

headlines from a week ago as an incident near DCA appears to be the deadliest aviation disaster in the US since 9/11 www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Not the banner you want seeing over this article from … checks notes … 8 days ago

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin
