The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

If you skipped voting, voted for Trump in protest, or urged not to vote for Kamala over Palestine—even though she called for ceasefires and backed a two-state solution—congrats. You may’ve signed Gaza’s death warrant. We warned you this would happen if Trump got a second term‼️

I really think it proves there was no real Deep State as right-wingers understood it. The CIA and FBI were acting in the interests of the American ruling class, always at the president's orders. Now the president is going to dismantle them to be more suited to Trump's particular style of fascism.

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area. From @gristnews.bsky.social via @climatedesk.org:
motherjones.com
Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms.
"It’s an attempt to tie water supply to a natural disaster, but those connections don’t exist in reality.”

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service”

Working for the government isn't about money. Dedicated civil servants often earn less than their private-sector counterparts. Imagine knowing you could rake in a fortune at a pharmaceutical giant, but instead, you choose to dedicate your life to research at NIH or environmental hazards at the EPA.

This is a good NPR piece on the lies on which Trump's tariff attack are based. 1) Far fewer deaths than Trump and @karolineleavitt claimed 2) Almost no Canadian involvement 3) Biden already made progress on reversing it Every tariff story should start by debunking lies www.npr.org/2025/02/02/n...

Trump used fentanyl to justify tariffs, but the crisis was already easing
The White House says fentanyl smuggled to the U.S. justifies tariffs against Canada, China and Mexico. But fentanyl deaths and smuggling have been dropping fast — and Canada plays almost no role.

In the US Constitution the President isn't mentioned once until Article 8. The first 7 are about how the People, Congress and the Senate have complete control. The President was never meant to be more than a figurehead, everything Trump does is a violation of the Constitution.
