Chris Murphy: "We're gonna give Iran $14b to fund this war with the US? We're gonna give Russia billions to fund their war with Ukraine? We're literally putting money into the pockets of the nations we're fighting. We've never seen this level of incompetence in war-making in this country's history"

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this: The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization. David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:
Unproven Medical Advice
now
In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies.

Charles Kushner was convicted of making false statements to the FEC and pleaded guilty to tax evasion & witness tampering. And Trump pardoned him. Of course, I voted NO to advance Kushner’s nomination as AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE. We don't need any more Kushners in government.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Government watchdog groups say they will challenge the Trump administration’s decision to put the initiative under the Presidential Records Act, which shields its work from public disclosure.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

How much of our federal budget do you think goes to USAID? 10%? 25%? 40%? Don’t let Trump and Elon lie to you — it’s 0.71%. Foreign aid is a tiny portion of our spending that does good in the world, saves lives, and advances American interests. It must be protected.
