Breaking news!!! I found the fraud and waste! Stop the presses… www.reuters.com/investigates...
Musk has the power to control the outcome of wars. He can cause death to innocents. He can pull the rug out from people fighting for their own country to survive. He can do the bidding if Putin. Do you think this is acceptable?
The Starlink system used by Ukraine’s military was suffering from low speeds limits early on Friday, despite President Trump saying that SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk had restored the service.
Trump isn’t the only one with no respect for laws or nature… Google cuts down a forest for their own desires too. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
#datacenters Proud of our county Supervisor Randall & Briskman for successfully stopping Amazon from building a mega data center in a pristine part of our county. Amazon purchased a 122-acre Science & Technology Campus from George Washington University in March, paying $427m for a mega data center.
Loudoun Chair Phyllis Randall: “Amazon has agreed to withdraw its proposed application…[for] data center development on [the GWU Science & Technology Campus site]”; "Amazon further commits to rezone the remainder of the land for mixed use and needed residential uses" bluevirginia.us/2026/10/loud...
Wow, wow, wow!!! Consumer protection laws being acknowledged against Zuck. $25 billion is a start. How long before Dear leader somehow cancels this ruling?
Breaking news: A New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay a $25 billion judgment over millions of violations of consumer protections laws. The state’s attorney general said this sends a message to other tech companies that his office will hold them accountable.
Here’s just one of the many laws he has violated per the Government Accountability office, evidently multiple times. This law says he can’t divert funds approved by Congress for something else, nor can he simply block funds approved.
He’s committing crimes every day. The GAO (Govt Accountability Office) concluded that Trump actions violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. the executive branch cannot simply refuse to spend $ Congress has appropriated. Examples - Head Start, FEMA, NIH grants, etc www.gao.gov/legal/approp...
Remember the 2020 false accusations by trump claiming Dominion Voting machines were rigged, amplified by Fox & OAN? Fox was sued & DV settled for $787m. Later DV was bought by a Republican. It’s not required the machines get recertified after a sale. Did your state? www.wired.com/story/scott-...
When you are sick, or poor, or lost your job to AI… the GOP not only doesn’t help, they are thrilled to kick you when you’re down. They don’t care. VOTE BLUE!
“One Big Beautiful Bill Act” cut roughly $1tn in federal spending from the healthcare industry,the biggest cut of federal health spending ever. Paired w GOP refusal to extend subsidies for ACA, cuts will result in 17 mill newly uninsured individuals through 2034. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s too depressing trying to follow the money. I’ve never seen such abuse of power before from any elected officials.
We built this scorecard for anyone following the money and looking for patterns of abuse that OMB is building as we head into FY 2027. Get the full scorecard: protdem.org/ombscorecard
I’m so tired of he and his cronies disrespecting those who lost their lives serving our country. VOTE them all out.
The State Department has now covered up the memorial to the 321 American diplomats who died serving their country abroad. I personally knew a number of those dead heroes who gave their all serving their country. Some were killed along with their families. Trump and Rubio have erased them.
Dear MAGA, Trump has taken credit for several policies, projects, & economic milestones that were actually initiated, funded, or legislated during Biden's presidency. 1- the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, a bill Trump opposed & repeatedly tried to derail was financed by Biden's $1.2 t bill ++

I never thought I’d be so grateful for attorneys- but here it is, THANK YOU, Democracy Defenders!

It’s been obvious for at least a decade that he will do anything Putin wants, so why won’t congress DO something to remove a traitorous President? By ‘Congress’ I mean the GOP majority. Democrats have tried twice. Destroying democracy isn’t what Presidents are supposed to do.
President Trump signed an executive order waiving a sweeping sanctions package against Russia in a move that was condemned by Ukraine. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) called the move “sucking up to Vladimir Putin.”
An immigrant is buying our elections… end Citizens United! One person, one vote.
Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has reclaimed his title as the single biggest known political donor at the federal level, dropping more than $280 million over the summer to boost Republican candidates in this year’s midterm elections. READ MORE: www.ms.now/news/elon-mu...
Another school shooting, it sickens me that the “adults in the room” fail to protect the children. By having to practice active shooter drills we are indoctrinating them to a world of senseless violence. We normalize violence & cause numerous stressors. everytownresearch.org/report/the-i...
Who bought Trump via his golden ballroom quid pro quo…? apple.news/AblrTEVS5ROW...
As we suspected, it’s the accusation & the ‘show’ not the existence of a crime. Now, let’s look at Musk & Melania ….
Exclusive: A 2019 review of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration records looked at many of the same issues being investigated now. That review found no issue with her naturalization, an official familiar with the earlier effort said.
The proposal would eliminate approximately 67% of Social Security's projected long-range funding shortfall. www.congress.gov/crs_external...
Remember Venezuela & their oil? it’s hard to keep up with the corruption! Trump donor, Singer bought Citgo, a subsidiary of Venezuela's state-run oil for $5.9b. It was a "bargain price," at the time because there was an embargo on Venezuela's oil exports. Then … www.alternet.org/maduro-trump/
It’s bad enough we stopped helping Ukraine, bad enough we bought sanctioned oil from Russia to help Putin fu d his invasion of Ukraine… now this? And did Musk ever say THANK YOU to the US taxpayers for his billions in government contracts?
USA directly acting against European interests. Siding with Russia against Ukraine. This is heading past diplomacy www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...
Musk received $38 billion in Contracts, tax credits & subsidies from the US government which helped make him the 1st trillionaire. If he did cause Ukraine a loss in Starlink services… then he is not only helping Putin he is spitting in the face of democracy. www.congress.gov/119/meeting/...
Great news for data centers! #datacenters Northern Virginia has 250 & more in the works, enough! But Quincy WA is glad to get them. Their town was dying - says ABC. So dear billionnaires - go to Quincy!! You’ve done enough damage here. www.cascadepbs.org/the-newsfeed...

Putin pumped out propaganda for yrs. Some big lies- 1. Pizza gate- Hillary ran a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza shop 2. Using AI on videos of Biden, Putin made him appear wandering, sleeping.. 3. Zelensky used billions of US aid to purchase 2 multi-million-$ luxury yachts Real Fake news.
Which President fought Netanyahu & stood up to for the Palestinians? Yes. This guy. Don’t you think BiBi would have added to the propaganda against Obama? abcnews.com/Politics/ins...

You’d have to be a special kind of stupid to bomb a school full of children and still expect to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
2 more years of this madness?
Arlington filed the suit in federal court on Thursday. It alleges that the National Park Service did only a cursory review of the project, which violates the National Environmental Policy Act’s mandates that federal agencies carefully study the impacts of major construction projects.
