Elmo's math doesn't math.🤔 Free Wapo read. #DOGE #Musk wapo.st/3DcnJcP

Trump & Musk are randomly firing people who: ➡️track bird flu & other disease outbreaks ➡️manage nuclear weapons ➡️conduct lifesaving cancer research ➡️fight wildfires ➡️ensure planes land safely ➡️& more. It doesn’t "cut waste." It creates inefficiency & costs MORE down the line.

it would be gauche to edit my own wikipedia page but I do hope someone updates it to include the berryman nationalpress.org/award-story/...

A view of San José, Costa Rica 🇨🇷 from our house in the foothills above the Central Valley today

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Trump fires 6,000 IRS workers. MAGA: "Yay!" MAGA (also): "Where's my tax refund??!!"

The truth 👇

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

Timeline Cleanser- A small river in Costa Rica, where my wife and I retired.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

We have four imperfect dogs - all rescues - and we love each of their idiosyncrasies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

President Trump’s monarchical claims, which are unprecedented in U.S. history, came a day after he signed an executive order giving himself greater power over independent regulatory agencies. www.democracynow.org/2025/2/20/he...

This is the guy rooting through our personal information.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

Facts....

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

She’s making a great point! youtube.com/shorts/1VDoe...

Fox Host Begs Trump to Save Friend Who Got Cut by DOGE newrepublic.com/post/191743/... via @newrepublic.com.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

In a 51-49 vote, the Senate confirmed incompetent & corrupt MAGAt Kash Patel to run the FBI. Criminals in both the U.S. and around the world are rejoicing, as there is now no major law enforcement agency remaining that hasn’t been neutralized by the GOP.

Wapo: The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, deleting a resource experts said improved public safety by helping prevent bad cops from jumping to new agencies & starting over with clean records.

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

All of Musk/Trump's actions only make sense if you assume that they are intentionally trying to weaken the United States.

Share if you agree!

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

Here’s a little secret: America isn’t $36 trillion in debt because working-class people have Social Security and Medicare. It’s because billionaires and corporations aren’t paying their fair share. End of story.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)
