I get it. It takes some courage to accept your career is over, but come on. They enable & enable until they can’t take anymore & then they make 1 solitary vote or statement that gets them sacked. That’s not courage. That’s being fed up. Regardless, the GOP is full of fascist enablers & cowards.

*deep sigh*

Hegseth ended a contract with Anthropic because they refused to offer this. The AI company isn’t a hero, but because of even the slightest moral compass, they have been dominated from government contracts. Hegseth will find a company that WILL do this. That’s where we’re at.

I cannot with this smarmy, arrogant son of a b*tch!

Could be your mom, could be your sister, could be your ex-girlfriend, could be the women you work with. And if you don’t know 50 women that could vet you, then that might be part of your problem.

Swalell and Garcia. Let’s get some more out of leadership!

Somebody’s high on their own supply

We can’t allow this to continue. Call your reps. Protest. Volunteer with a local campaign, especially if you are in a purple to red district. Help get people registered to vote. We are not helpless. We have to take back the power. We have abdicated it for too long.

Bloomfield Hills, Old Dominion . . . and that was just yesterday. Mass shootings happen everywhere & single shootings are more common than we want to admit. We have an epidemic. Why are we spending $900 mill/day to kill Iranians? Isn’t there enough death in the world? #GunViolence #TrumpsWar #Iran

#TrumpWar #Iran

Trump wants to rebrand his war as an “excursion”. He’s killed thousands, raised prices, created an oil crisis & spent billions of tax payer dollars. And for what? So Netanyahu could create chaos in the hopes they’d be too busy to attack Israel? That’s not how we achieve any kind of peace. #TrumpWar

New episode is live! We sat down with congressional candidate Ethan Wechtaluk for one of the most honest and electric political convos we’ve had on the pod. Highly recommend giving it a listen. 🎧 YouTube: tinyurl.com/3byjr3m7 @ethanformd.com @jlaustin13.bsky.social

DOGE said it was cutting government waste. So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world. Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Can you imagine what we could spend that on instead? Because I can. #Healthcare #Childcare #FoodAssistance

Nothing is going to change except Trump will get his tiny little hands in all that oil money. More than 1300 people have died for this already. America wake up. We are the bad guys here! #Iran #TrumpWar
