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.

Gosh, it's not like consumers vote or anything

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Can I just say: As weary as you may feel, do not turn away from the degradation and desecrations, the violations and the violence. This is what the lawless Trump regime hopes--that our fatigue will make it easier for them to consolidate their power.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor. Have a weekend

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million. After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Sen. John Kennedy: "I see a lot of uncertainty, and I think to some extent it's intentional. If you listen to the president's aides, you don't have Einstein's cousin to figure out they were saying things that were inconsistent ... I think the administration for whatever reason is obfuscating."

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know. But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media. Asshole.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Let’s rebuild #Aviation Twitter on Bluesky! For a decade, I enjoyed the AvGeek banter with a huge engaged community over there. That place is now DEAD TO ME. I’m a Ferry Pilot, former Airline Capt, and for the last 25 years, I’ve been moving airliners around the world with my company #Nomadic

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.
