So #Trump has been president for just four months and he's made the United States so poor we're having to accept $400 million in foreign aid from #Qatar?

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway

Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.

The rich are pushing for libertarian utopias.
Exempt from federal taxes and regulations, corporations inside these so-called "Freedom Cities" would, among other things, be able to conduct human medical experiments without interference from the federal government.

This is getting worse by the day. So far Republicans have censured one Democratic Member of Congress, threatened to remove numerous others from committees, opened law enforcement investigations against Members of Congress for exercising their 1st Amendment rights, and pulled 1/2
Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

More MAGA lies. I turned this hearing on plate and missed who this particular liar is, but he pulled out a chart claiming Chicago has a murder rate of 18.Something percent, claiming it was "percent." This. Is complete bullshit. First of all, murder rates are expressed 1/2

That's not suspicious at all. 🙄
Something odd here.

CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions."

The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has paused cyber offensive against Russia
The change comes amid President Trump's efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

You read this list and I think we may be overestimating "FBI becomes political retribution tool" and underestimating "FBI essentially ceases to exist, becomes one half muscle bar, one half COPS tv show reboot"

It’s also a load of bullshit, according to a USAID guy who actually ran Ebola response: bsky.app/profile/jere...
So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.

The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.

And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.
