Of course.

Ah, but that tax has to be collected. A year ago the IRS stated that our nation's millionaires and billionaires have evaded over $150 billion in taxes. The IRS needs resources to audit them and collect, but president musk is busy cutting resources.

Why the hell are they trying to kill us? Wiped the CDC website, Musk's teenage goons have stolen our data, they are trying to abolish the department of education so they can indoctrinate everyone with their Christian Nationalist nonsense, it just goes on.

Christian bible study... coming soon to a public school near you. Assuming, of course, that we'll still have public schools.

"Not surprised. Disgusted."

~Captain "Sully" Sullivan on trump's response to the tragedy last night

And just to make sure they get all 900+ pages of their project 2025 agenda implemented, a resolution for you, served with a bit of putinesque sauce. Interesting how he worded this such that Obama couldn't run against him. Not that he'd want to, mind you.
Gosh, I did n*zi this coming.

They overhauled the site. The only things there now are things that specifically pertain to trump and his administration. Everything else is gone.

Do cult members ever wake up? How do we deprogram them?

We knew it would be bad. I can't imagine what this country will look like in 4 years. And I have friends and family who are ecstatic.

If you want to read the US Constitution, here's a link to it. I'm providing this link because the new administration removed the Constitution from the Whitehouse website. In fact, they removed everything that isn't related to trump.

Bezos put the kibosh on the editorial board's endorsement of Harris, killed Ann Telnaes' political cartoon, and today, Jennifer Rubin resigned.

45 has shown the way.

L.A. Fires Show the Reality of a World with 1.5°C of Warming The planet crosses an important temperature threshold while wildfires ravage southern California.

Nice to see Time magazine calling out the Trump lies and putting accountability where it belongs: on climate change driven by decades of fossil fuel false propaganda and political corruption.

Mark Zuckerberg says ending fact-checks will curb censorship. Fact-checkers say he's wrong. Fact-checking firms that teamed with Meta are refuting CEO Mark Zuckerberg's suggestion linking their work to censorship.

All the tech bros are bowing down to 45. I'll continue to call out BS and block hatred when I see it.

It's all he knows how to do. He knows how to keep himself in the spotlight and how to keep his cult members fired up (no pun intended). He is a malignant narcissist. It's only going to get worse.

Amazing how much power this one man has, and I'm not talking about Garland.

Meta’s new hate speech rules allow users to call LGBTQ people mentally ill Changes to its hate speech guidelines were among broader policy shifts Meta made to its moderation practices.

House passes bill that would allow Treasury to strip nonprofits of tax-exempt status H.R. 9495 would authorize the treasury secretary to designate nonprofits as supporters of terrorism and strip them of their tax-exempt status.

“Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader’s Plans for a New Trump Agenda Private videos reveal Trump adviser Russ Vought’s “shadow” plans for using the military on protesters, defunding the EPA and villainizing civil servants.

Many people I know believed 45 when he disavowed any knowledge of Project 2025. We knew better. 45 has nominated Russ Vought to head up the Office of Management and Budget.

He's as serious as a heart attack. He vowed revenge, and this is his form of revenge. Gorka has staunch anti-Islamic views and is known to have ties to Hungarian far-right Nazi groups. Fits right in with this despicable administration.
