Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

BREAKING: Department of Labor data shows that the Trump Organization has requested a record 184 foreign workers for 2025 across Mar-a-Lago, two golf clubs, and a Virginia winery.

F--king hypocrite!

3 things happening at once:

1. They are learning the ACA coverage they enjoyed was always OBAMACARE. The very insurance they voted to end.

2. They are learning they, rural whites, are the demographic MOST RELIANT on government aid.

3. They are learning it’s the GOP’s fault for the shutdown.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

🧵Guarantee it's the Epstein money trail that's spooking Trump more than the child rape.

As soon as Trump took office, he immediately blocked the 4-year congressional investigation into Epstein's assets.

He also immediately revoked access to all sensitive docs.

Amazing, thoughtful, & coordinated team protesting! This team spent some advance thought & prep but a good way to visually make a bigger impact; both if read & impact of the volume. And all signs can be reused alone or in small groups. I'm impressed!

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

New piece from @radiofreetom.bsky.social answers the question: What does “nothingburger” have to do with
“utterly embarrassing”
“not okay”
“more confused”
“lost in the halls of history”
“usual grievances, lies, and misrepresentation”
“obsessions”
&
“unhinged”

It’s….sobering and also a great read

Picture of Trump along with a text from Joe Walsh HE'S AN INSURRECTIONIST. HE'S A PSYCHOPATH. HE'S A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. HE'S AN AUTHORITARIAN. HE'S A CRIMINAL. HE'S A CON MAN. HE'S A FELON. HE'S AN IDIOT. HE'S BEEN A SEXUAL PREDATOR HIS WHOLE LIFE. AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S A PEDOPHILE TOO. WELL DONE AMERICA. WELL DONE.

Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.

At this point, these NASA employees fully understand that signing a letter like this means the Trump administration will likely fire them and even perhaps go after them personally

Yet rather than remain silent, they chose to speak up

They are heroes, one and all

NEW: Hundreds of NASA employees have filed a letter of formal dissent.

"We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire."
The Voyager Declaration Dear Interim Administrator Duffy, In light of your recent appointment as Interim NASA Administrator, we bring to your attention recent policies that have or threaten to waste public resources, compromise human safety, weaken national security, and undermine the core NASA mission. We, the signatories of this letter, dissent from these policies, and raise these concerns because we believe strongly in the importance of NASA's mission, which we are dedicated to uphold. Major programmatic shifts at NASA must be implemented strategically so that risks are managed carefully. Instead, the last six months have seen rapid and wasteful changes which have undermined our mission and caused catastrophic impacts on NASA's workforce. We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement, and efficient use of public resources. These cuts are arbitrary and have been enacted in defiance of congressional appropriations law The consequences for the agency and the country alike are dire. Our Shared Commitment to Dissentin� Opinions We share a commitment to dissenting views in accordance with NASA Policy Directive 1000.0C, NASA supports full and open discussion of issues of any nature (e.g., programmatic, institutional), including alternative and divergent views. Diverse views are to be fostered and respected in an environment of integrity and trust with no suppression or retribution. (NPD 1000.0C, Section 3.5.5) Employees across the agency have raised concerns about recent actions to NASA leadership, yet we remain pressured to implement harmful measures. We choose to write to you directly because: (I) as Interim Administrator, you are the final step in the chain of Technical Authority, and (2) the issues we raise are agency-wide, rather than project-specific. As defined in NASA Procedural Requirement 7120 5F, Formal Dissent is "a substantive disagreement with a decision or action that an indiv… • We dissent to changes to NASA's Technical Authority capacities that are driven by anything other than safety and mission assurance. The culture of organizational silence promoted at NASA over the last six months already represents a dangerous tum away from the lessons learned following the Columbia disaster. Changes to the system of Technical Authority, as suggested would be made in the June 25th NASA Town Hall, should be made only in the interests of improving safety, not in anticipation of future budget cuts. • We dissent to the closing out of missions for which Congress has appropriated funding because it represents a permanent loss of capability to the United States both in space and on Eatlh. Once operational spacecraft are decommissioned, they cannot be turned back on. Additionally, cancelling missions in development threatens to end the next generation of crucial observations. • We dissent to implementing indiscriminate cuts to NASA science and aeronautics research because this will leave the American people without the unique public good that NASA provides. Basic research in space science, aeronautics, and the stewardship of the Earth are inherently governmental functions that cannot and will not be taken up by the private sector. Furthermore, NASA has a nearly threefold return on investment in economic activity, and supports national security by ensuring the United States maintains its lead in science and technology. • We dissent to NASA's non-strategic staffing reductions because they will jeopardize NASA's core mission. Thousands of NASA civil servant employees have already been terminated, resigned or retired early, taking with them highly specialized, irreplaceable knowledge crucial to carrying out NASA's mission. • We dissent to canceling NASA participation in international missions because in doing so, NASA is abandoning America's allies. To date, 55 nations have signed on to the Artemis Accords, and withdrawing support from missions with our long-s… We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at the NIH and EPA who have released similar statements concerning the administration's actions at their respective agencies. We dedicate this letter to Gus Grissom, Ed White, Roger Chaffee, Dick Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Judith Resnik, Gregory Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe, Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark, and Ilan Ramon. Their legacies underpin every conversation about our shared commitment to safety and dissenting opinions at NASA.

One thing that is clear from these headlines is that the big news orgs don't have a vocabulary or strategy for how to report to readers when the President claims to do something he not only lacks authority to do but even the power to do. That's a very basic, foundational thing.
