When the stupid reveals itself..once again.. We don’t do kings, no matter how hard you try, asshole 🖕🏻 #SheShed

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)

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

85.9 million registered voters skipped this election. For perspective, trump had 76.9 million votes. Maybe prolly shouldn’t have sat this one out. Indifference is our undoing.

STORY + DATA: The scale of Canadian efforts to boycott US goods is becoming clear. New border data shows crossborder traffic has utterly plummeted in the last month. Southbound traffic during the recent holiday weekend dropped by more than 40% from last year. fvcurrent.com/p/border-tra...

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is a coup.

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Historians Politely Remind Nation To Check What's Happened In Past Before Making Any Big Decisions theonion.com/historians-p...

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.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org files emergency lawsuit to halt DOGE from taking taxpayer data at the IRS. Visit Democracy Docket for full coverage. www.democracydocket.com

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

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.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Exactly 😡

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

This elephant pretends to eat guy's hat..🐘🧢😅

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

Reminder, as DOGE style program slashing appears in state houses and treasuries in all 50 states, the highest paid state job in most states is FOOTBALL COACH followed closely by BASKETBALL COACH at public universities.

In case you’re having a bad day, new polling shows Assistant President Poopy Pant’s approval rating and personal popularity are going down faster than Lauren Boebert’s hand at a kid’s musical. Happy #PresidentsDay indeed.

I repeat…

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.
