Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

After tragedies like these, it’s typical for American presidents to address the grieving public. What’s not typical of presidents is to blame issues with, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration on disabled people and people of color.
Trump responds to Washington plane crash with racist, ableist diatribe
The president used the tragedy, which killed 67, to deliver a bigoted and self-promoting tirade about DEI.

Fanny Willis was removed from a case for a consensual romance with a coworker. Pete Hegseth is now SecDef despite both his mother and sister-in-law giving testimony that he is sexually abusive. Well thank God we’re free from the burden of unjustly preferential treatment based on gender and race now.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

My favorite part is how Vance looked around at the immigrant to his right and the daughter of immigrants to his left and was waiting for someone to agree that what was he was hearing was crazy and offensive.

Sadly, I’m sure they probably do.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Are Democratic leaders making cities more dangerous than Republicans? Trump + others have repeatedly made claims like this. New paper in Science Advances w/ @chriswarshaw.bsky.social, Dan Jones & Matt Harvey shows that, in short, the answer is no.
