Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

“Conservatives love to cut funding and then point to struggling services as evidence of government failure. When they do this, they're executing ‘strategic defunding’ or ‘starve the beast’ governance. We should explicitly name this cycle and expose it.” - @george-lakoff.com

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I blame the people that are still in denial. Who say they don't read the news because it's too depressing. The people that feel privileged enough to remain blissfully unaware, but don't take the responsibility that comes with the privilege. If you are privileged, you have a civic duty to stand up.

Canada and Greenland, can you please pretend-join us, so that we can vote these Republican asses out, and reverse all this damage? We'll let you go back after with the highest hero's honor, and our gratitude forever.

I suppose it’s time to talk about this… and game out the potential consequences… if trump were to actually try to take Greenland by force. First and foremost, Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a NATO ally. So, this would mean a declaration of war against Denmark, and by proxy, against NATO. +

A little over 3 weeks. That’s how long Trump is giving transgender American service members to exit their careers. 3 weeks until their world will be turned upside down for being deemed unfit to serve the country simply for who they are. I can’t wait for his demise. www.advocate.com/news/trump-t...

By cutting funding for USAID Elon Musk and Donald Trump are probably condemning one million children to die of starvation 200,000 to be paralyzed because they’ll likely contract polio And up to 18 million cases of malaria per year Which could cause another 166,000 deaths Pure unadulterated evil

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention. When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.” This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If Elon Musk were to testify to Congress about the "waste, fraud, and abuse" he claims DOGE is finding, he'd be publicly shamed for claiming social security checks going to people 150 years old. He and his teen incel MAGA virgin hackers would be exposed as not only criminals, but as idiots.

DOGE’s mission to cut waste is allowing companies to cheat us without oversight from agencies like Consumer Protection, while any taxpayer savings are paying for pompous public appearances.

Since we’re on the topic of government waste, Donald Trump’s joyride around the Daytona 500 cost American taxpayers around $5,000,000. 🤡 Here’s the breakdown: Air Force One Costs: estimated $800,000 – $1,000,000. Presidential Motorcade & Transport: estimated $200,000 – $500,000

On his death bed he will find that even with all the money in the world, he turned out to be bankrupt. In his soul. In his heart. Even with all the kids he has, he will have none to hold his hand.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Very honorable. But equally scary. I read somewhere that this is how institutions become corrupt. Honest people leave. The ones that remain become more comfortable co-opting into the corruption. Yet, there is nothing else she could have done but resign. 👏👏
