Facts!

If you’re wondering what Elon Musk has been up to it’s not about saving Americans money. It’s about saving himself money. Musk has used his position leading DOGE to illegally evade oversight, derail investigations, and make litigation disappear whenever he chooses, on his terms and at his command.

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Sure the chicken will kill you but at least you won’t have to read about Black airmen!

Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with no meaningful process and against the wishes of her father.

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

The same shit, different assholes

This is really really scary and bad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

She’s the secretary of education. EDUCATION. Someone help us.

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

The Trump administration lies that it does not have the ability to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. Bullshit. The administration is PAYING the Salvadoran government to keep detainees at CECOT. Congress - or a Court - could order those payments to stop, immediately, right now.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

Absolutely brutal

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

The EPA will close a museum that tells the story of the agency’s history and mission.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

This is how you do it!

The Fifth Amendment says due process is due all persons, whether the number eight or eight million. And if there were a mass-violation exception to the Constitution, why have a constitutional at all?

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

Sanders: In our form a government, unless you are a coward, you don’t sue the media because they report on things you don’t like.

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

Shameful

Unbelievable. Let’s just go back to the dark ages and bloodletting. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Cutting the IRS is plain stupid. They bring in far more (mainly from wealthy) than they cost to operate. These are taxes folks lawfully owe. To offset what they lose anyone with coming sense knows what they’ll try to cut. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/rev...

To sum it up, the worst of us won. We are confronted every day by their never ending villainous behavior.

More like I’ll tell you this is public but in private I’ll tell you if you don’t do what Musk says your outta here. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Trump just said in front of a billion witnesses that DOGE is “headed by Elon Musk.”

There are some Trump administration lawyers who need to be disbarred.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid
