Let’s be real: everyone in this administration already lied under oath during their confirmation hearings.

Not for nothing, but spent the day away from socials to watch my son and his team at the NASP state archery events. His 5th place finish in IBO 3D and 3rd place finish in Bullseye, along with being awarded a state academic archer recognition, is the perfect end to his season. So proud of that kid! 🏹

beloved, you're not broken. You're fucking overwhelmed and burnt out.

You're not a bad person because you don't feel the way you think you should feel given the state of everything.

You still care, you're just numb, traumatized and emotionally fried.
give yourself some grace.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am.

This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Americans Stand With Ukraine. The orange buffoon in the White House does not represent the US.
He is an embarrassment.
Zelensky has more courage and is a better leader than the 5x draft dodger.

why does the federal government not have a fiduciary duty to the American taxpayer to protect our investment of tax dollars—an investment we are not allowed to opt out of?

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix*

The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc…

They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

Got home about an hour ago after traveling for 12 hours. The one time I get a layover at ATL longer than an hour and my gates are not only in the same concourse, but they’re just a few gates down from each other. Why can’t that happen when I have an hour or less for my layover?

Guys, Muskrat finally figured out that he can be liable, personally, for the wrongful terminations. So now he's not responsible for DOGE. THAT, is the reason for the WH nonsense thst came out last night.

Trump hands Musk the state’s gears. DOGE slashes jobs, leaks data, pries into taxes. Power privatized, accountability gutted. Cost-cutting masks control. Each day, dictatorship creeps in. American democracy is under siege by a criminal mafia.

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

PSA: The reason Medicaid & food stamps are on the chopping block to pave the way for more GOP tax cuts for the rich is because poor people don’t have better lobbyists.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

The National PARK Service?

Holy shit.
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.
