The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.
“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.”
“John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

"I didn't know he would do this."
Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad.
Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

1. The DOGE website is garbage.
The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided.
And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract.
So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

So, wait, the plan is for Trump to crash the markets, destroy people's savings, push up prices with tariffs, crush economic growth, and then gut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security? While firing tens of thousands of federal workers? The concept of a plan is a depression?

The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model now estimates U.S. real GDP growth for Q1 at -2.8%, down even further from last week’s forecast of -1.5%.
Just a month ago, the estimate was about +4%.
