They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances.

The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace.

At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight

For the people that is!

Kristi Noem standing in the El Salvador prison in front of individuals who're incarcerated is a new level of dehumanization and the kind of thing that will end up in a history book 50 years from now in a chapter on the U.S.'s shameful era of human rights violations in the 2020s.

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Both X and TSLA are crashing today. How is Musk handling both DOGE and X episode at the same time? From many accounts, he has X people working for DOGE - how do they split their time?

Yes. And elders losing their income and their healthcare. People with disabilities losing their means of survival.

Heartwarming to see Vermont’s message of resistance (JD) made world news, including Ukraine.
Seemingly small things can have big repercussions. Each person taking one step out of their comfort zone will be emboldened to take the next. babel.ua/en/news/1158...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:

They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.

These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.

Not bad in a couple of months time!

I am, as a State Rep., introducing this to the Vermont State Legislature. There are likely constitutional challenges. Credit to a friend for the suggestion.

Worth 15 minutes of your time.

“Trump is acting like a king because he’s too weak to govern like a president.”

This means we must focus on, badger, and exacerbate his weakness. Don’t believe that he has the strategic, lasting king-power he wants you to believe he has.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.
