On her way to an emergency medical checkup, a 10-year old little girl recovering from brain cancer surgery and her family were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

This is the heartbreaking story of a mixed-status family. Four American-born children and their undocumented parents were…

Apart from showing how evil he is yesterday, Trump showed how he’s actually a badβ€”moronicβ€”dealmaker.

I mean, you’ve got some guy coming in to give you his country’s minerals. Wouldn’t you want to get him to sign first before berating him on global television?

Trump and Vance β€” elected by MAGA voters, and supported by spineless Republican members of Congress β€” are both shamelessly subservient to their Kremlin master.

Dear angry Republican voters who've showed up at GOP Town Halls to complain about the spending cuts, firings and chaos: Speaker Mike Johnson just told CNN's @kaitlancollins.bsky.social that you were 'paid democrat protestors'. They don't care about you. Remember this for the 2026 midterms

CFPB has recovered $21B for consumers

Now Musk-Trump have shuttered CFPB

Musk wants to open a Twitter financial platform and he doesn't want banking cops like CFPB monitoring him

What's that tell you?

Any financial platform Musk starts will probably be bad for consumers

I get that Trump & Elon are slashing federal jobs, but how are they deciding who gets laid off?

The Trump administration is firing hundreds of FAA probationary employeesβ€”the ones who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure. An area already stretched thin.

What could possibly go wrong?

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.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Washington Post backs out of β€˜Fire Elon Musk’ ad order The Washington Post this week backed out of a β€œFire Elon Musk” advertising order that was to run as a wrap on some of its Tuesday editions, according to the advocacy group Common Cause.Β  The group …

What a disgrace.

Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them.

*This* is how democracy dies.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul:

It's time.

You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor.

Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York.

REMOVE ADAMS NOW.

Sincerely,
A New Yorker

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

Serious question, because this is where we’re headed…

Who’s going to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable if he defies court rulings? Who’s going to stop him?

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
