I feel like society collectively forgets how crazy it is that the US military is lead by a former Fox News weekend host with no significant management experience who never held a high ranking military command!!!!!!!! A drunkard!

NO media 1000s are marching in DC to defend voting rights; 90 orgs signed on, Reuters sent photographers, but local media Bernie Sanders, AOC and Martin Luther King III attended Wa Post buried it A Black-led march is visible in DC only after somebody else reports it Repost the march they buried

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

Financial disclosures show that Susan Collins was taking checks from some of the men named in Epstein Files.

In case anyone forgot how incoherent this administration’s policies are… we just removed sanctions on a nation we’re actively at war with. Oh well, at least the cowards in the GOP will have to spend the weekend trying to explain how this won’t fund the war for Iran (it will).

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

He doesn’t care about you.

Let that sink in for a sec.

@thebulwark.com We can't ignore facts: A concentration camp is a facility where large numbers of people, often political prisoners or members of minority groups, are detained without legal process, typically under harsh conditions. Just because people cringe at the word doesn't make it false.

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

Make ICE glitter

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights. This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

16M Will Lose Health Insurance to Pay for Tax Cuts for the 1% #ABlueView🧵1/3 "CBO estimates that the combined effects of those policies ... would increase the number of people without health insurance by 16.0 million in 2034" tinyurl.com/mr474her #TrumpsBillWillKill #KillTheBill

Did you read the book about Joe’s decline? Big Bill: No because he’s not the president anymore and he did a good job when he was the president.

NOW YOU KNOW, THE REST OF THE STORY! #GraftInPlainSight

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

Seeing this chart just as Isee a quote from Musk saying fully autonomous self-driving will be ready this year.

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The same oligarchs who claim they hate government handouts are almost entirely reliant on government handouts themselves. Some would say it is hypocritical. But remember that hypocrisy is merely an expression of power.

Breaking: The HHS has identified more than 100 federal advisory committees that it has “scheduled to be terminated,” including panels that advise on infant and maternal mortality, organ transplants, blood products, sickle cell disease and cancer research per NBC News.

Whether in our water, on its bench, or in the White House, the Supreme Court is a big fan of raw sewage.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
