Alabama is now in the ‘find out’ stage Mazda’s Huntsville, Alabama plant just hit pause thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Nothing says “great economy” like factories shutting down because the guy you overwhelmingly voted for doesn’t know shit about business. www.al.com/business/202...

Huntsville auto plant pauses production of SUV to counter Trump tariffs
The company did not say how long the suspension will last.

Shoutout to Adam Schiff for saying what Republicans won’t—Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires are moving forward, and working people are about to lose their healthcare. Next: make every House Republican vote on it. Let them show us who they really work for.

I see it a bit differently. The USA is what it has always been and was built from the beginning to be, but many generations of the people have fought to expand the protections and liberties promised in the Constitution (& Declaration of Independence.) It is our turn. #NQNQ247

Well..back in Jan 21/25 I bet a friend that the Orange F*cktard could tank the market by St. Patty's day and bankrupt by Thanksgiving..I was being fececious. Scarily this is unfolding right before our very eyes. Fox News is also responsible. IMPEACH while there's still time.

Holy $hit, now Trump/Musk are purging our nuclear weapons & cybersecurity agency. Still think this isn’t directed by Putin? Unlimited cyber attacks on our defense systems, electricity, water, subways, communications, etc. We are now so vulnerable. Haven’t you had enough yet!?!?!?

Am I missing the part where Big Balls is also the grandson of deceased KGB (double-triple-quadruple???) agent, Valery Martynov.. might this not be some motivation, to understand what actually happened to his grandfather?

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.”
	•	The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives.
	•	The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000.

Each point represents a federal agency:
	•	Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs.
	•	Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs.

Key Observations:
	•	Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates.
	•	Notable targeted agencies include:
	•	HHS (Health & Human Services)
	•	EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
	•	NIH (National Institutes of Health)
	•	CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)
	•	Dept. of Education
	•	USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)
	•	The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies.
	•	A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size.

Takeaway:

The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology.
