Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Elections have consequences

In theory this nightmare could end today:

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

A look at the misleading and incorrect claims on DOGE's 'wall of receipts' Elon Musk claims his campaign to fire tens of thousands of federal workers and cancel government contracts is in the name of rooting out “fraud” and “waste.” A website claims they’ve saved billions by...

A look at the misleading and incorrect claims on DOGE’s ‘wall of receipts’

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY!

If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK!

Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore.

JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺

#24HourEconomicBlackout

We are the ones who will defeat this wannabe-king. It will be our actions and voices that end Trump’s reign.

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

Throughout its history, America has only survived because of profiles in courage. Whether it's political figures standing up for what's right, or young men laying down their lives in places like Normandy, Gettysburg, or Bunker Hill.

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.

How Elon Musk set off two weeks of chaos across Washington | CNN Politics Elon Musk and his allies have spent the last two weeks barreling full speed into multiple government agencies, causing confusion and chaos and raising questions about whether an unelected businessman ...

“The political team has unfettered access to everything the Office of the Chief Information Officer manages... Many of the appointees are software engineers who are making back-end changes w/out regard to federal norms and requirements. They are pulling statutorily required information off OPM.gov”

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Shame on Rubio and Trump for bullying a smaller nation like this. What is El Salvador getting in this "deal?" No tariffs?

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts.

Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

Make no mistake, America is under attack. Our rivals are gaining strength. Russian support for Trump is paying off exactly as they had planned. This is not merely a bonus associated with their election interference. It is phase 2 of the same operation.

This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.

What Elon is doing to the government and the country and everyone’s reaction to it this weekend reminds me of the xenomorph and the crew of the Nostromo as they slowly catch on to what’s happening on their ship.

Musk is straight up admitting to violating the law here. DOGE has no authority to do any of this.

On the frontline against bird flu, egg farmers fear they're losing the battle The tools the US used to contain previous bird flu outbreaks just aren't working this time, according to some agricultural experts. Some egg farmers have called for vaccinations for poultry.

#History - In 1937, Stalin instituted quotas for arrests from each region I the USSR. According to the schedule, 259,450 had to be arrested & sentenced to slave labor in camps; 72,950 had to be shot. It did not matter who they were; all that mattered was that each region fulfilled its quota.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

It’s spelled “Colombia”
