"Not our war, not our problem." We made it our problem in 1994. Ukraine had the world’s 3rd-largest nuclear arsenal, & we told them: Give it up, & we’ll guarantee your security. They trusted us. Russia started this war, now we are expecting them to pay with their natural resources and ditching them

Elon Musk: "America first"... but also 'let me help steer elections in favor of far-right in Germany, Spain, UK and Canada.' Because nothing says patriotism like meddling in other countries' democracy while preaching free speech. The hypocrisy is out of this world.

TikTok was almost banned in the US due to concerns over Chinese influence in US. Yet one individual, Elon Musk, holds the power to sway elections and influence policies across Europe and the world through Twitter. Why aren't there similar concerns?

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

They continue to tell this debunked lie 🤥 for a reason: so when they cut social security to pave the way for their tax cuts for the rich you think they had an actual reason to do it.

Posted by @rothschildmd.bsky.social on another platform: “The entire federal government now apparently reports to Elon Musk, who is not the president, doesn't run DOGE according to Trump administration court filings, has no authority to remove federal employees, and tweets all day.”

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Consequences—Trump and his Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 have forgotten others, domestically and internationally have voices. They can challenge and reject his versions of school yard bullying. Other nations/organizations are “punching back”. He has caused irreparable economic damage to the US.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

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.
