It’s not about right and wrong with them. It certainly isn’t about looting Its about control. Do as you are told. Don’t question them. And certainly don’t challenge them in protest. The wrongs don’t matter as long as there is compliance. Only when there is disobedience is there issue. Control.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

Vote NO on the SAVE Act!
The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

This is the type of National coverage I expected to see all over the TVs since this weekend. Much respect to @maddow.msnbc.com for having the courage to show it where others (MSM) have not. Coverage may need to be grassroots-up as well. Share and see you on the 19th! youtu.be/pr4YwdXtnnA?...

The lie du jour from Maga is that the protestors yesterday were paid and bussed in. Paying 3+ million people? The absurdity of it and how very few people would even be able to afford it. Such nonsense only actually occurs in Elon’s wettest of dreams.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Maybe instead of letting them fire people out of the government where, when, and to what extent THEY choose… maybe it’s time for us to stop reacting defensively amd give them what they want. Have ALL government workers go on strike. Perspectives will change real quick.

Inviting the president of Ukraine over for a public SHAKEDOWN. Every day I think I can’t be more disgusted and embarrassed by this administration, and every day they prove me wrong. Absolutely abhorrent.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This app is a haven for scammers and people confusing it for Bumble. Follow anyone back and get instantly messaged with: Hi sweetie what’s your name? Where are you from? Let’s go to Telegram so we can talk more and share pictures. At least change up the script from time to time y’all.

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.
Photo of Trump sitting behind the Oval Office desk, with Elon Musk fielding questions from reporters while his 4-year-old son stands beside him.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
