@hcrichardson.bsky.social The warrant and affidavit showing probably cause of a crime to justify Fulton county raid of 700 boxes of ballots must be made public. Congress must act to demand it. The results were triple checked
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

Call them out
They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
"Rationalist-optimists lack humility in the face of a planetary system."
Really loved this piece from @cathfraser.bsky.social & @noahjgordon.bsky.social taking aim at naive techno-optimist faith in negative-emissions technologies and laying bare our inevitable stranded asset problems.
Must-read.
In The Long Heat, Andreas Malm and Wim Carton take aim at what they call rationalist-optimists — people who naively believe that market solutions can fix the climate crisis.
But their sweeping critique runs the risk of abandoning all hope in the future.
We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th.
Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection.
Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault.
John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack.
They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.
When bad things happen during Democratic presidencies, MAGA blames the Democrats. And when bad things happen during Republican presidencies, MAGA blames the Democrats.
It’s the best of all worlds for shady politicians: All the power, none of the responsibility.
Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.
Why would Musk, who the Trump administration claims in court is not in charge of DOGE, tell a bunch of republican senators that he's in charge of DOGE? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
So don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings: but DOGE canceled the lease on the facility that processes and stores all the nuclear waste created by the US military. Sorry. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...
I don't care that the media didn't ask why he wasn't wearing a suit at the Whitehouse; I care that they didn't ask WTF he was doing at a cabinet meeting.
Operation paperclip along with Canadians from the Avro Arrow got America to the moon!
*sigh* back when Americas tax brackets made sense (Not that ours is much better), Americans and their government could reach amazing heights…
Now it’s just corporate welfare with vanity projects.
The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox
Deb Haaland, the former secretary of the Interior who was the first Native American to serve in a presidential cabinet, on Tuesday announced a bid for governor of New Mexico.
I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.
Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas.
So they’ve paid for a poll-tested rebrand to sell their scam.
Here’s how to debunk their “school choice” slogan in 60 seconds…
