Traitorous scumbags — every last one of them.

I don't think corporate media understands how angry America is. I rarely watch CNN or MSNBC anymore, but when I turned the former on today the mood, tone and structure was identical to 9 years ago—which means no one at the network has any idea whatsoever what's really happening in America right now.

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports The previous Starship also exploded, in January THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

BREAKING: Trump shuts off intelligence to Ukraine, cutting off data for drones, air attacks, and air defense This is a clear and direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 - in which US gave security guarantee to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and ships

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

FACT - Trump Republican tax cuts are ONLY for people making OVER $360,000 a year FACT - actual House Republican budget unveiled last week did NOT include removing taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security FACT - Republicans are planning to KILL the tax deduction for mortgages

FACT - every single Republican member of the House clapping for Trump right now has been ordered to STOP holding any Town Hall meetings in their districts They're hiding from you They know they're not doing a good job They've forgotten who they work for -- time to remind them

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Fun fact: An actual “doge” was an oligarchic ruler of medieval Venice — appointed FOR LIFE by a cabal of insiders, totally unaccountable to the people or anyone but a tiny group of fellow super-wealthy elites.

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

Trump Slashes VA Suicide Hotline in Workforce Purge—Veterans at Risk 🚨In this video, we review how Trump’s workforce purge gutted the VA Suicide Hotline, leaving veterans vulnerable. With 17+ suicides daily, cutting crisis services is deadly. Watch now. www.youtube.com/shorts/wgeVR...

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

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

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

DOGE = Damaging Our aGricultural Environment 😡😡 1/8

More:

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

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

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

Biden capped insulin at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden capped inhaler at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden stopped banks from hurting you with overdraft fees -- Republicans are now undoing it Trump, Musk, and the GOP are RAISING your costs

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes near $1 billion in new contracts for Musk in just 2 weeks: "This is nothing more than a money grab. He's not out there trying to save money for the American people, he's lining his pockets."

Measles is the MOST contagious disease. MORE contagious than flu or polio or even Ebola. It's more contagious than COVID. In a susceptible population, measles can infect, 90% of the population easily. RFK Jr. HHS Secretary will UNDERMINE the confidence of PROVEN vaccines! www.npr.org/sections/sho...

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”

SWAN: DOGE and SpaceX employees are now working directly at the FAA and DoD, agencies that have billions of dollars of contracts with Musk's companies or regulate them. How is that not a conflict of interest? TRUMP: Well I mean, I'm just hearing about it

Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency. It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism. Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic. The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

Said it in 2016 and will repeat it for the millionth time. Trump is a Russian owned piece of shit and has been owned by them for decades. His goal is to destroy America & this time w/o guardrails that’s exactly what he is doing.

He owned 11% and they fired him Even his quote-tweeted memes are lies

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.

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

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

Per this @theguardian.com article, if Tesla stock drops, it affects 1/3 of Musk's wealth. 1/3 is in SpaceX, which is totally enmeshed in the federal government. We need to find ways to drag down SpaceX.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
