The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

What Leavitt says here is an *abject falsehood*
Her claim to having seen it first hand is quite something.
Even JD Vance backed off his initial claim. After being exposed, Vance pivoted from "convicted" to "an Immigration Judge ... determined" (in an immigration bond hearing).

I still can't believe immigration lawyers are strongly recommending that anyone who doesn't have US citizenship avoid international travel and the multiple cases this year that prompted that advice

We cannot support the state of hunting today.
Once, long ago, hunting was how people fed themselves.
today subsistence hunting has been largely replaced with thrill killing.
With only 4% of mammals being wildlife, it's time to give them a break and end the pretenses of hunting as conservation.

He's never worked a day in government.
Yet he gets to decide what is wasteful and what is fraud?
Is a program that provides lifesaving medications to our impoverished allies "wasteful"?
Is one that feeds starving kids "fraud"?
He decides. An unelected oligarch decides our values.

Excellent point from @davidcorn.bsky.social. As @governorwalz.mn.gov said in August, "I coached high school football long enough to know, and trust me on this: When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they're gonna use it." #Project2025
Never could imagine a movement led by Donald Trump would sell-out to corporate and financial interests, right? A complete shocker....Did you read Project 2025: "the next conservative president should order the immediate dissolution of the agency."

Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Superbowl ads airing tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." We may not have millions of dollars but between all of us, we do have a massive global network.

Save Foreign Aid
Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M: 🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year 🏈Bought enough emergency food aid products made in Rhode Island and Georgia to treat 800,000 severely malnourished children 🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50,000 people in Central America 🏈Protected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our world 🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Super Bowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID
