J6 defendant Bigo Barnett, who put his feet up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, is upset that he’s being kicked out of CPAC since he is such a legendary MAGA hero who served his country on J6 for Trump.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

I’m just an analyst, and I have more medical knowledge than the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

That’s fucking terrifying

It’s important to note while we’re spitting acid at MAGA bigots’ hypocrisy that trumps cabinets are not “DEI hires”

They’re literally the opposite: crony or nepo hires

Cronyism and nepotism is the problem DEI is was created to solve

So let’s please not do the bigots’ work for them

Thanks! ❤️

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Trump, July 2024: We will drive prices down very fast.

Trump, August 2024: I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.

Trump, December 2024: I won an election based on that, we’re going to bring those prices way down.

Have prices gone down? Nope.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.

The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.
Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job

Just so we’re clear what just happened:

Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to.

They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research.

And then they failed to pass that bill too.

You want to talk about government efficiency?

We waste hundreds of billions a year on health care administrative expenses that make insurance CEOs and wealthy stockholders incredibly rich.

Expand Medicare to cover every American.
