Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

And who they didn't like

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

🚨🚨🚨 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

I don’t think I can ever forgive the cowardly POSs that voted for this narcissistic, sociopathic fascist. I hope they all choke on their votes.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Instead of being sent to prison for his many crimes against the United States, the orange felon was given full power of the US govt and is now referring to himself as a King. I hate him with every fiber of my being and I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this tyrannical shit.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Attended a #TeslaTakedown protest in Silver Spring, MD this afternoon. Our group was small, eight people total, but they could sing!

People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

If you get a chance, watch/listen to @govpritzker.illinois.gov’s State of IL speech. So glad he’s my Gov. Trump envies him almost as much as he hates him because JB has more class and more money than Trump ever will.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

trump, by the numbers: 3 days since flood 2 days of golfing 11 laps in Daytona $5 million taxpayer dollars 14 dead in Kentucky 77 Truth Social posts ZERO posts about the Kentucky victims. NOT. ONE.

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

Money and markets, y'all. It's your superpower.

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

The DOGE guys didn’t just make one $8B mistake in their savings list — “they are getting it wrong with alarming consistency” They don’t seem to understand how these things are calculated. 🧵: x.com/electricfutu...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

THIS is not OK. The USA does not decide where Ukraine begins & ends — and no deal can be made WITHOUT UKRAINE AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE!!! www.cbsnews.com/news/us-russ...

Original snowflakes right here. Or incels? Or both.

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

I watched Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show and holy shit…. A master class in petty from start to finish. 🙌🏼 I thought it was great and I loved the red, white and blue theme with all the dancers. 👏🏼

The only reason the orange criminal keeps bringing up tariffs...its so he keeps getting the attention he desperately craves. There is no other reason! So let's all stop responding to the word tariff

They killed off Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it was too effective at protecting the public from unscrupulous, opportunistic conmen like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Let's go!

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
