House Republicans are preparing a budget package that calls for $2 trillion in cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That’s TRILLION. With a T.

Trump’s Housing Cuts = More Homelessness Trump is gutting HUD’s homelessness office by 84%, risking $3.6B in aid for shelter, mental health care, and housing. Experts warn this will force more onto the streets and delay funding for nonprofits nationwide. A crisis made worse by reckless cuts.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Seen today in Lower Manhattan...

This breathtaking view from a New York City apartment.

Fired, with no severance...

This IS THE BEST thing I have listend to. Its long, 25 minutes. I PROMISE worth every second. Please folks, listen and share! Please.

Gotta love the British press! 🇬🇧

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Trump says Ukraine 'should never have started it' in comments about war with Russia. (Fact Check: Russian invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022)

A Trump official from OMB just announced that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that “only the President and the Attorney General can speak for what the law is.”

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

President Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court to let him fire the head of an independent US agency that protects government whistleblowers, according to a person familiar with the filing. via @gregstohr.bsky.social @zoetillman.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Know what might slow down DOGE? If Democrats publicized a campaign encouraging federal workers to record their interactions with DOGE as potential evidence for future prosecution. Get names, audio (DC and Virginia only require one-party consent), take notes and print out emails.

Staggering sales drops, swastika-daubed EVs, companies culling fleet models, and fan-forum owners selling their cars—Elon Musk's alt-right antics are seriously impacting his electric car business.

The charges have not yet been dismissed. No one has agreed to dismiss them. (Some even quit: Justice Department Officials Resign in Protest Over ‘Quid Pro Quo’ nymag.com/intelligence... ) If they are dismissed without prejudice, they can be dismissed at any time. That leaves a lot of leverage.

The acronym MAGA can stand for so many things that make sense. What’s your favorite?

Did Musk and his hackers meddle with the 2024 presidential election?

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

Scholz hits back: ‘Free speech in Europe means following our laws,’ he says, rejecting JD Vance’s claims of suppression. Germany’s firewall against extremism remains intact.

Trump’s presidency is one giant pay-to-play scheme. Since taking office, Trump has made $80M, including $40M from Amazon for Melania’s doc—3x more than Disney’s bid. This came weeks after Bezos dined at Mar-a-Lago. Cash for influence? Looks that way.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Yesterday, whistleblowers revealed Patel was directing those dismissals.

Banger!

Subpoena that son of a bitch!

Thank you, Representative Pocan for REPRESENTING for us!!!

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."
