@fetterman.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @schumer.senate.gov Why are these kids allowed to access to our government without passing a security clearance!!! Every service member has to pass a background check! apple.news/A7aldGTA1Tbu...

I give Leavitt 6 months and Rubio 1 year before they either quit of get fired… apnews.com/article/trum...

@meidastouch.com @nbcnews.com @reuters.com @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov How is this not getting any attention? gizmodo.com/elon-musks-e...

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

This is a call to war! He wants US Troops in Israel, likely a new base, and he knows this will cause Iran and other Muslim nations to retaliate! apnews.com/article/trum...

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

President Musk is all these things. She could say this about Trump as well…

And so it begins…

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are about as useful a knife in a drone fight.

I would bet he didn’t have to go through a single background check or fill out any forms to get his “top secret” clearance either! edition.cnn.com/2025/02/03/p...

Nothing shows how our elected officials are protecting our personal information from foreign adversaries like giving a unelected foreign billionaire access to every American’s personal information! All through a government agency that doesn’t actually exist!

Seems like Beyoncé winning album of the year, for a country album, is hitting some people’s white fragility really had right now!

Young men, between 19-24, with little to no government experience and they haven’t been given a security clearance! These BOYS are now the ones with access to all our personal information! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

These acts are illegal! We need to focus on Musk! Trump is Musk’s lackey, not vice versa. Trump may be a vile marionette, but Musk is the puppet master. NO ONE VOTED FOR MUSK TO BE IN CHARGE! www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Fuck this guy. Ask any nurse or LPN or ER doc or admin clerk or social worker if they work weekends. This disrespect to our federal workforce is disgusting. Especially from this piece of shit.

You forgot houses. The US receives 30% of its lumber from Canada. So, the interest rates are still high, add tariffs to the cost of a newly built house, and most Americans will never be able to own a home. What is the “American Dream” again?

Yep, Pizza will get expensive. You know what else is expensive? Paying the salaries of useless old Dems that the price of pizza is more important than saving the federal government from a fascist tech bro!

Don't know the difference between effect and affect and have the temerity to talk about unqualified hires

Does anyone else think Vivek Ramaswamy left/got kicked out of DOGE because even he knew this was illegal and would destroy our country? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

It will only be a matter of time before all US Government agencies will be required to use X to relay information. Musk bought Twitter/X for $44 billion and it now worth $12 billion.

This is why I have been spending more time on the Army and Fednews subreddit’s. You find out much more from the source, most of which is beginning to circulate in major news outlets.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

As any Freshman economics major will tell Donald, tariffs are imposed on the IMPORTING NATION—NOT the exporting nation. This means AMERICAN businesses will now pay 25% more for many essential goods and raw materials they import from abroad. (1/4)

The National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.

This is a national emergency:

We are fighting fire with an expired fire extinguisher. Maybe, stop shaking your fist at the fascist and do something about it!

HOLD UP. Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications? Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE? Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

Happy Black History Month! America may be facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story.   With resilience, grace, and unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is called Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!

Did they not become obscenely wealthy with regulations?
