⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

This.

This is really something

Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

It’s almost as though billionaires don’t have the nation’s best interests at heart.

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

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

Democrats: broad based prosperity Republicans: broad based misery

😳

Ah yes, focusing on the issues that impact regular Americans.

🚨BREAKING: Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, was ousted after denying Elon Musk access to “sensitive files,” the Washington Post reports This. Is. Insane.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

To be clear: the United States Government deployed this family to a country with substandard healthcare with the promise that help would be on the way if they ever needed it. Now, Donald Trump twice denied this woman a potentially life-saving, embassy-requested medevac.

Listen up, you star-spangled dipshits… because while you were telling me to “cry harder” for the bazillionth time today cuz I have the nerve to care about kids with cancer… THEY “ACCIDENTALLY” FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO OVERSEE OUR NUCLEAR STOCKPILE. Wake the fuck up dumbfucks.

None of the broligarchs knows what they’re talking about. They’re just hot air, spewing what sounds smart to them but is actually a telltale sign of ignorance.

J.D. Vance's lecture in Europe basically convinced every country to quietly create a new secret group chat without the US.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

To everything, turn, turn, turn

The community note 🤌😘

Imagine being so pathologically reckless and instinctively contemptuous of public service that you accidentally fire nuclear scientists

Over 400,000 requests from military personnel, veterans, and families since CFPB was founded. They just nuked it because it hurt the bankers and lenders. They aren’t saving money. They are making it. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

"The Nazi Party and the American Confederacy had power, but they were illegitimate, and so were their vile laws. Eventually the deepest laws of humanity and reality told on them, and they collapsed. So it is, and so it must be, with the Republican Party." www.the-reframe.com/the-moon-is-...

Wait. Donald Trump fired 300 people who oversee our nuclear weapons program then had to bring them back because he didn’t know what they did? Can you imagine the screeching from MAGA if Biden did that? 25th that incompetent man already.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Spot on.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that she has rejected a request from Louisiana Governor Doug Landry to extradite a New York doctor who was previously indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on felony charges related to her prescribing abortion-related medication to a woman in Louisiana.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

Vance needs to go home and stay there

Who’s the deep state now? This is Saturday Night Massacre level shit—Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor and five other senior officials resigned Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

WSJ tops Page One with its piece about Amazon — “a company that prides itself on frugality” — bidding $40m for Melaina’s doc, “nearly three times the next-closest offer,” after dinner with Bezos. $AMZN

Maybe it’s just me but selling the world’s most advanced stealth fighter to a country absolutely certain to share the technology with Russia or China seems like a shockingly stupid and traitorous thing to do.

If Trump sells F-35s to India, the era of US air dominance is over. Full stop.

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

Just saw a post screenshotting this & saying they’d unfollowed me over it. Some Dems are responding well, but some aren’t and the base is clearly mad about it. There *will* be primary challenges, and just like AOC in 2018, a few of them will be successful. So … sorry for saying that out loud?

You dumbfucks said Biden wasn’t “really in charge” and then you handed Trump’s presidency to Elon fucking Musk?

“Hey guys…I know you said you were all about settled law before but can you just toss out this 90 year old ruling! It’s super getting in the way of our fascism. That would be great. Mmmm…kay…thanks!”
