It's going up to $40 billion. USAID's budget last year was $28 billion.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Republican is a synonym to hypocrite. This tweet is real. Kristi Noem, the Governor of South Dakota, posted this statement on her official X (formerly Twitter) account on February 6, 2024.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans' budget guts both programs. Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

$90 million. Trump fired thousands of Veterans to "save money," but wants taxpayers to pay $90 million for a military parade on his birthday. What a disgrace.

Trump defends the high price tag for his military parade: 'Peanuts compared to the value'
In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out — which he said he will pay for himself.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.
A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1
). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

Just know that when you are a real leader, the thing that you hate most to say when someone on your team screws up is “I don’t know anything about it.” Cause you should be all over it by now and announcing the steps you’ve taken to protect our military & to see that this can’t happen again.

In the history of Every Accusation Is a Confession, perhaps the best example is incoming FBI director Kash Patel promising to prosecute anyone who helped Joe Biden rig an election when he was part of a 2019 Trump plot to steal the 2020 US presidential election and poisoned the Pentagon pre-January 6
