Hey red states...Elon thanks you:

The WH is going after Catholic and Lutheran charities. Please know that unless your religion uses the names of Jesus and God to support greed and hunger for power, then your religion is NOT the correct religion for Christian Nationalist.

Don't just ask how Musk/Trump actions serve their supposed purposes. Ask how they aid the attempt to seize power paulkrugman.substack.com/p/autogolpe

There are two immutable facts when it comes to Trump. 1. Every accusation is a confession 2. Every wild assertion is a distraction Gaz-a-Lago is a distraction from the coup underway within our federal government, led by Oligarch Musk.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

The $1.3 billion of increased Canadian border security Trudeau promised Trump today to get tariffs postponed? Trudeau already announced the spending back in December:

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. " They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory Trumpenomics

CNN & MSNBC sites have large font articles about Mexico agreeing to something already agreed to in 2019 but have yet to post an article about the Dems press conference at the USAID building.

The only reason the republican senators will approve Kash Patel is because they are under the mistaken assumption that he won't come after them.

Make no mistake...what Trump and his admin are saying is that regardless of your education, training and experience, unless you are a white, straight man, you aren't smart or qualified enough for any job a white, straight man wants.

Here is a list of the 2,600 programs under funding freezes as they are reviewed by the Trump Administration: (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

So...how long until Trump tells a fed court that rules against him to fuck off because SCOTUS told him he could do whatever he wants.

Democrats should not vote on a single Trump cabinet nominee until this federal assistance freeze is rescinded. Do not let up.

Trump says he ordered the military to go into CA last night to “turn on the water.” CA responds.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

"FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems." -Trump Wonder how those red states woohooing over CA not getting wildfire aid are feeling now.

Donald Trump just rolled back a decades old executive order that prevented employment discrimination in the federal government. Yes, we’re being serious. www.axios.com/2025/01/22/t...

Awkward gestures or Nazi salutes?

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

I see that Melania chose to wear her Hamburglar hat to honor the criminals in the nation--and next to her.

Right-wing and corporate media tomorrow: "I mean did Elon Musk do a Nazi salute? And if he did, so what? We have to be open-minded and embrace free speech...except if it involves promoting DEI and acknowledging climate change." Masks off, folks.

What's the over/under for how many Scaramucci's before JDV declares Article 25 removal?

Inauguration Day and MLK Day intersect:

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

For the next four years, ignore what they say and watch what they do. Messaging is their thing...good governance isn't.

Can we please stop blaming Democrats for "letting" Republicans do the horrible things Republicans do? That's just fucking stupid.

Donations to Biden's inaugural fund in 2021: Meta = $0 Tim Cook = $0 Sam Altman = $0 Google = $200,000 Amazon = $200,000 Donations to Trump's inaugural fund in 2025: Meta = $1,000,000 Tim Cook = $1,000,000 Sam Altman = $1,000,000 Google = $1,000,000 Amazon = $1,000,000 The oligarchy is here.

So the Trump economic plan is for the 56% of non-college voters to take over the low pay, back breaking jobs left by the deported immigrants while the MAGA tech bros give the high paid tech jobs that require a college degree to HB1 visa immigrants? That some how seems like just desserts.
