Such open weakness and cowardice

My wife is on a call with the DEI council for our daughters elem school. She has autism and is semi-verbal. They are discussing how kids with special needs could introduce themselves to help other kids learn more about them. Hard to believe this is the sort of thing that infuriates Republicans

Seems petty but this brand of hypocrisy really incenses people, especially as companies call people back to the office, often without a better reason than they think they can make more profits www.kten.com/news/politic...

Firing FAA employees after a spike in air disasters, firing CDC employees during a rising pandemic, but at least the Trump admin is watching out for human traffickers www.newsweek.com/trump-admini...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

If we were an actual functioning democracy Congress would pass legislation requiring Musk to divest from any companies receiving government contracts, including SpaceX and Tesla, if he wants to continue to roleplay a forensic auditor.

Guys can we workshop something a little catchier than “oligarchs” and “autocrats”

Trump, Musk and the Republicans are literally deciding to let children die because of “woke”

The CFPB saves consumers (us regular Americans) around $5 billion a year from bank fees through their regulations on banks. It's the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — if Trump shuts them down, that $5,000,000,000 will be taken from people who need it and given to banks.

Trump somehow even made the Super Bowl worse

Snoop Dogg #standuptoallhate ? Didn’t he just perform at a Trump crypto event? I guess it’s really #standuptoallhateunlessiminonthescam

"Vance had a chance to defend his OWN family, and he opted to defend the Indian-hating bigot instead. Where are the balls on these Republican men? ... Elon wants his DOGE kid who hates Indians back and Vance does his bidding... Do they castrate these guys at the door of the RNC?"

The new Spokesman for the US State Department.

Imagine being JD Vance, such a weak man, he advocated to reinstate the DOGE kid who recently tweeted "Normalize Indian hate", when his own wife is the child of two Indian immigrants who moved to the US in the 80s. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Why are elected members of Congress, who actually pass funding for USAID, blocked from entering the building, but Elon Musk's nerd tweens are allowed unfettered access to systems that process over a trillion dollars of govt payments? www.youtube.com/watch?v=In1r...

In positive news my daughter’s Birdfy finally started attracting some finches and juncos after two months of wintery desolation
