Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Proof that a large chunk (28%) of Republicans really are idiots. From today's NBC poll .. "Self-identified Republicans are among those who don’t appear to buy the president’s pledge, with 47% saying they don’t expect to receive the $5,000 payment Trump promised, while 28% do." #magats #idiots

Republicans just approved a budget blueprint that does far more than fund the war with Iran. Buried inside the $95 billion package is $10 billion to implement new nationwide voting restrictions demanded by Trump.

Mocking a kid to own the libs is certainly a choice: "A Republican mocked a (10-year-old) child over 'propaganda.' Ironic." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... Heck, at this point, the irony is probably doing cardio.

Fuck climate deniers. Fuck Trump. Fuck the oil industry. Fuck the American Petroleum Institute. Fuck anyone who keeps humanity from doing sensible things to keep us from destroying our environment.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

No comparison. When Biden so much as tripped, it was a week-long story. When Trump has no idea where he is and drifts off mid-event— media silence. This isn’t the first time. What’s up?!
