In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

Elon Musk should be on trial.

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

In an extraordinary conference alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino in the Oval Office, in which the World Cup trophy took pride of place, Trump also said he would be prepared to launch "strikes" in 2026 World Cup co-hosts Mexico due to concerns about drug trafficking. Trump and Infantino were joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The event was principally called to announce the new FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System (FIFA Pass) but Trump press conferences inevitably end up in different places and this one also encompassed the Epstein files and U.S.-Venezuela relations.

Trump was asked about the new mayor-elect of Seattle, Katie Wilson, who is a democratic socialist. He was asked how closely he will be watching crime in the city. Trump said: "If we think - and I will have to speak to Gianni about this - the Mayor of L.A. is incompetent, everyone knows it...If we didn't go in early on, not only would you have had the fires but you would have had total insurrection in Los Angeles. If we didn't go in, (the police) said we could not have done it without the federal government.

"The governors and mayors are going to have to behave," he replied. "In California, you have a problem. You have high crime and a place that just suffered great fires...so here is the story, I love Los Angeles. If they want help during this, I would love to send in the National Guard or whoever is necessary. I want it to be great. I love Los Angeles. I love the place. "If we think there is going to be crime, if we are obstructed by the Governor (Gavin Newsom) - maybe he won't obstruct us - I would love for him to call and say we would like help. If there is even a hint of a problem, we want to get in there before a problem occurs. We want it totally safe for Gianni and FIFA. I would be honored to help California. We can be there in 24 hours and do a great job."

"We did a great job. If we think there is going to be a sign of any trouble, I would ask Gianni to move that to a different city. We have a lot of cities who would love to have it and would do it very safely. If we think there is a problem in Seattle, where there is a liberal, communist mayor... I watched her over the weekend, wow that is another 'beauty' we have got there. Gianni, can I say we will move the event to some place it will be appreciated and safe?" Infantino answered: "Safety and security is the number one security for a succesful World Cup. We can see people have trust in the United States because we have record-breaking ticket sales. Tickets are almost two million sold already. People know they will be coming here to experience a safe and secure World Cup. This of course is the responsibility of the government and obviously we will discuss, we are working together, we must ensure all fans coming from abroad can experience a celebration of coming together of the sport and with 100 percent safety."

There's so much going on here:

- Trump plans to launch strikes on World Cup co-host Mexico due to drug trafficking (???)

- And invade Seattle and LA if they don't "behave" (???)

- FIFA's Gianni Infantino then agrees Trump can take matches away from cities (???)

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

Also the external pressure of our former allies.

New York Times: Scott Perry Says Democrats ‘Hate the Military,’ Echoing Trump’s attacks. The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Whether it’s conservatives complaining about a redesign of Cracker Barrel’s across the country, or liberals complaining about President Trump bulldozing the East Wing of the White House, it’s clear both sides are engaged in a new political battleground over architecture and design

Fumigate it

I feel so nostalgic but I'm also excited for the new generations that get to do this.

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

I dunno. If you’re going to pass this along as news about news you should know it’s Indiana University. Not proud alum here

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

The GOP controls the government and is choosing to keep it shut down, and letting military families go without pay.

She's not a "foe." She is someone who honors the oath she took and does her job with integrity.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Swear her in.

ICE has fired tear gas and pepper balls at protesters outside their Broadview facility. They are terrorizing immigrants across Chicagoland. The time to resist is now. It will only get harder as authoritarianism tightens its grip. Please pay attention to this struggle.

Right, rather than try to shame Republicans for their complicity here, Democrats should simply state -- loudly and repeatedly -- that the Republican Party clearly shields pedophiles.

They'll howl about it, but all of their actions to this point leave no other conclusion.

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

This is how it’s done. Bravo! 👏🏽🔥

Dear Andrew Cuomo,

New Yorkers rejected you in the primary. And now you’re pressing them again to pick you?

No means no.

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.

But no City agency has posted it on this platform.

Please help spread the word.
