The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

Does anyone else think that Pete Hegseth has a larger gripe against the ability to think critically or rigorous academic training than Scott Walker? I did not think it was actually possible.

By the end of Greene's Tuesday town hall in Acworth, Ga., three people were arrested and two were hit with stun guns. Greene is one of many lawmakers confronted by angry constituents in recent weeks.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

A moment of clarity: #DonaldTrump does not know how to be a president. He knows how to be a (below average) CEO. He can only do ANYTHING when there is no opposition-even from his own. GOP Congress has abdicated 100%. This only works if resistance is allowed at a minor level.

So, since Musk now has access to your Social Security accounts, I might suggest downloading any reports on earnings and what you are owed so that, ya know, there is a record.

@democrats.org Need to step their game up,figure out a unifying message,or get out of the way for a true #Progessive movement.The old guard needs collaborate not simply play the same #Neoliberal game from the 1980s.The rules are not being followed by those who are dismantling the #USA. Why are you?

f you want to see how you dismantle a system, this is it.

When experts are replaced by worshippers without expertise in the job, the system falls.

Maybe that's the point.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

#DonaldTrump may be asking the US government taking partial control of #TikTok.

For those who were concerned about your data being scraped, an official US Govt platform will absolutely do that, plus be able to charge taxes to all content creators or businesses that use it.

The more you know.

#TheGoldenAge or #TheGildedAge in America is often used to describe the Age of the Robberbarrons, the Hursts, the Pulitzers, dramatic inequality, and the era that led to #TheGreatDepression. #DonaldTrump #SpeakerJohnson #elonmusk and the rest of them are ushering in the inevitable class war.
