Trump, and by extension the American government, has sold out our ally and is now on the side of Putin’s despotism. This is what 77 million Americans voted for in pulling the lever for him. Trump’s fondness for Putin was no mystery. It’s a stain upon our country and a disgrace.

They're barely even putting up a fight now the Trump admin is straight-up assaulting press freedom and picking and choosing who gets to be in the briefing room based on how complimentary they are of the regime. Which is 1,000x worse than whatever "press access" grievances they had with Biden.

🚨BREAKING: Texas Measles Outbreak Hits 124—Fueled by Anti-Vaxxers Nearly all cases are in the unvaccinated. Eighteen hospitalized. Dozens of kids infected. A preventable disease is surging because RFK Jr. and his followers push anti-science lies. This is 2025. This shouldn’t be happening.

“I think the police exercise coercive violence to further social and political evils” is a belief you can have and “I think control of that violence should exclusively in the hands of my ideological enemies” is a position you can take but I am encouraging people to think about how those intersect

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Here's one of my favorite airport size comparisons. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport: 27 square miles. The entire Kingdom of Hyrule as laid out in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 23 square miles.

It's been an open secret for a long time that Medicare Advantage is one of the biggest sources of fraud against the federal government. Funny how DOGE doesn't seem to have touched that. On the contrary, Trump and his nominees want to expand this program. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Even if it was real, there’s literally nothing the “woke agenda” could do to our government that is half as harmful as conducting massive barely-coordinated purges of longtime federal employees working on critical matters of state

I think where Trump's at on this is: he knows he probably won't get away with it, but he also knows nothing seriously bad will happen to him if he tries either.

I've made this point before: if Democrats don't control either chamber of Congress, the only way they have any power or leverage at all is if a handful of Republicans are too scared to vote with their leadership, because their offices are getting swamped with angry calls.
