The controversy dates back to October 2024, when Musk appeared at a Pennsylvania town hall and announced that America PAC would award $1 million every day until Election Day to a registered voter selected “randomly” from people who signed a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments. The pr

And right on cue, time to manipulate the equity markets before Monday trading opens. So surprising. This is but one of the totally corrupt ways the Trump family uses the White House to enrich themselves, fuck everyone else. Illegal in so many ways. That used to count for something.

Eliot A Cohen: "America’s strategic performance was nothing short of appalling—its alienation of allies…its failure to protect Gulf States, its rough handling of an ally that had fought alongside it… were all signs of ineptitude and even incompetence.”

This is a story of a life-changing breakthrough — and what Donald Trump’s attacks on science could now destroy. Read it now in the Breakdown from @citizencohn.bsky.social

"The worst aspect of our time is prejudice... In almost everything I've written, there is a thread of this - man's seemingly palpable need to dislike someone other than himself." -- Rod Serling, who died #OTD 1975

Dear Republicans: what are your expectations of FEMA going forward? 🚨 FEMA cut thousands of employees over the last 18 months. And plans to reduce the agency’s workforce by as much as 50% by October 2026. So when the next major disaster hits your town, what’s the plan?

The thing is the US government will tell you our freedom is the result of the sacrifices we made that other countries didn’t, such as universal healthcare. And let’s just all gesture wildly at all of this freedom we see. Nothing to gesture at? Yeah, me neither.

President Trump's new commemorative passport was meant to celebrate America's 250th anniversary—but one short phrase has conservatives questioning whether the message belongs on a U.S. passport at all. #Trump #Politics #BreakingNews

The comments from this administration have constantly rang Eugenicist alarm bells Both on race and disability- it’s chilling Find echoes in Epstein files, heritage foundation policy and Musk/Thiel interest too I have a special needs child and I worry for the vulnerable populations who will suffer

The Trump Administration has made clear that it wishes to purge America of some of its undesirables. But for those he can’t expel, he hopes to simply hide away.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social is what a politician should be.

Exactly. Was Jan 6th just a "tame" prelude to what may come after the November midterms? Something to think about. Trump and his minions are capable of anything. whowhatwhy.org/politics/ele...

Democratic socialists are not communists. Republicans denouncing communists this week cant always articulate the difference between socialism and communism, so here is a quick reference meme on Democratic Socialism

Republicans are out to steal your hard-earned Social Security money. You earned it, and they want it all. Keep your dirty hands off MY MONEY!!!🤬

I actually think this statement is a big deal. Because it tells you all you need to know. They believe, in their bones, in an imperial presidency where the executive rules absolutely and uses his power to destroy enemies and enrich himself.

Remembering when we had a kindhearted president who cared about everyone 🥹

Sen. Chris Murphy's (D-CT) floor speech on the Trump Administration's corruption has now received over a million views on YouTube He opens his remarks by saying Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. No argument from me.

electrifying to hear Justin Pearson in Hyde Park tonight w stupendous company of Brandon Johnson, Graciela Guzman, Delia Ramirez, and Chris Rabb, uniting the progressive axis from Chicago to Philly to Memphis! Tennessee’s disrepresentation of black people is appalling; donate to Pearson if u can

Trump threw America’s 250th birthday party and barely anyone came.

Now if we can just get the rest of the GOP senators, preferably those who are actually running for reelection, to make sure that they are interested in making it solvent for decades to come, we will be getting somewhere. #USDemocracy thehill.com/homenews/sen...

(WSJ) Yup, the One Big Beautiful (and racist, biased, strong away from common people) Bill that Trump and the GOP passed really benefited Millionaires and Billionaires at the expense of normal people who now cannot pay for healthcare. Trump and his bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Neutrality is not nearly as neutral as it appears.

The War Powers Resolution's half-century of failure leaves us with "a legal regime for war making that turns the original design on its head," hurrying us into war on one man's whim, then erecting barriers to action to any legislated reversal. [Gene Healy]
