The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory

Thread alert, don't stop at the first one!
Right now we’re witnessing the difference between authority and power.
Elon Musk does not have the legal authority to do any of the things he is doing. He is not authorized to shut down USAID. He is not authorized to take over OPM. He has no legal authority to access all our data and payments.

The infuriating libel against trans helicopter pilot Jo Ellis is really getting to me. It's so patently false, but the misinformation continues to spread. The ways cognitive biases have been exploited to radicalize people against marginalized and vulnerable populations is so sinister.

WATCH: Rep. Andy Ogles says he introduced a bill to let Trump annex Greenland because “we are the dominant predator”
Reagan’s GOP: 🇺🇸 = “shining city on a hill”
Today’s GOP: 🇺🇸 = “dominant predator”
Sounds about right.

Listen, the forecast is for a steady rain of shit with frequent bursts of crapstorms, so if you need to fill and set sandbags around your public awareness and are probably going to be needing to bail pretty much continuously just to keep unflooded, just know that we see you and you're fully legit.
