"This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

All staff were put on leave at the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. Congress created the entity in 1987 and, among other things, it helped drive down veterans homelessness.
Trump administration has gutted an agency that coordinates homelessness policy

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

Trump Pardoning Jan. 6 Insurrectionists Would Endorse Attacks on Democracy
Rewarding people who tried to ignite an insurrection turns the pardon power on its head.

Trump pardons roughly 1,500 criminal defendants charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack
The sweeping pardons would mark the beginning of the end of one of the largest investigations in FBI history.

If Hunter Biden had pooped out in the open in Nancy Pelosi’s office and then smeared it all over the walls after hitting a police officer with an American flag, Trump would’ve been the one to pardon him.

Oh sorry sometimes I assume you all have seen the same posts I’ve seen
The Economist now. This bullshit pearl-clutching. Literally a convicted felon just received a pardon he preemptively granted himself via his personal SCOTUS to reclaim the presidency and populate the government with crooks and psychos. We give even fewer fucks about Hunter’s choices than before.

VA disability is what keeps millioins of veterans out of poverty. His haircare costs are higher than most of them take home.
Pete Hegseth thinks that disabled veterans shouldn't apply for all of the benefits that they qualify for if injured in the line of service.

Vile man has zero leadership experience and has no business running the Department of Defense.

Remember when, the Trump Administration caved to Big Pharma and broke their promise to enable Medicare drug negotiations?

Do not forget it was President Biden and Democrats in Congress who actually got this done!

Can’t help shake the sinking feeling that what the universe has in store for us is Donald Trump overseeing another major pandemic response.
Bird flu has been discovered in a batch of raw milk sold in California store refrigerators, state regulators said Sunday. While there have been no reported illnesses in this most recent case, it comes just a few days after a child tested positive for bird flu for the first time in U.S. history.

The H5N1 virus was found in a sample of unpasteurized milk at a store, prompting a recall of one batch. Health agencies have warned against the growing dietary fad.

From Tristen Snell

In December 2017, Congress voted on a bill to combat human sex trafficking.

The bill passed the Senate unanimously.

The bill passed the House, 418 to 1.

The 1 "no" vote was Matt Gaetz.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

I don't know what the need is that keeps driving me to say this but I can't stop dwelling on this. 76.5 million people in the United States of America voted for a rapist criminal for President.

I did not vote for the rapist.

Elon Musk says Americans must suffer the "hardship" of $2 trillion in cuts to public spending, while he still gets tax cuts, government contracts, and corporate welfare.

No wonder I got a little angry talking about it. youtu.be/KXzkNKVLy9g?...
