There are more kids with measles in Texas than there are Trans Athletes in the NCAA but you don’t hear MAGA out there talking about that now do you?

YouTube video by Senator Chris Murphy Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History

I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Elon Musk staffers are drawing six-figure government salaries funded by taxpayers.

Dumb is a charitable description. The things they overlooked in their own self interest place them in an entirely different category.

That said, if they see that they were bamboozled, welcome them back to reality.

March 6, 2025 This morning, Ted Hesson and Kristina Cooke of Reuters reported that the Trump administration is preparing to deport the 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and have temporary lega...

Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

Trump fired hundreds at NOAA, Weather Service. Here’s what that means for forecasts. Current and former agency officials and lawmakers said the cuts could have major impacts on Americans and the economy, compromising important functions.

"Jobs were also eliminated at the National Hurricane Center and Storm Prediction Center... and the tsunami warning centers in Alaska and Hawaii..."

“Russia Ukraine is not a proxy for whether you like Trump or not, Russia is our enemy, and paid the Taliban bounties to kill American soldiers”

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years.

Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine.

It’s a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, wearing a military vest, stands among a group of soldiers dressed in tactical gear. The soldiers are equipped with helmets, weapons, and various military gear, with some wearing blue armbands. The background shows an outdoor setting with debris and makeshift barriers.

Trying to imagine Trump in this “suit.”

Zelensky dresses the way he does to show solidarity with the soldiers fighting on his country’s frontline.

Trump dresses the way he does because he is a classless asshole.

Any questions?

Dear Ukraine and Zelensky,

Ignore @SpeakerJohnson he can’t find his spine and knows better, don’t resign.

Hiding from the public sounds like a great 2026 re-election strategy for Republicans

February 26, 2025 This morning, Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought and Office of Personnel Management acting director Charles Ezell sent a memo to the heads of departments and agencies.

I’d heard something like this so wrote with an emphasis on things only humans can do.

OPM has stated that a response is not necessary. However, if a response were required, here is their plan: Musk-directed emails to government employees, requesting details on their work over the past week, are expected to be fed into an AI system to assess job necessity.

Dear Europe,

Trump completely melts under pushback.

So push back.

This hits hard.

February 19, 2025 The past week has solidified a sea change in American—and global—history.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

Unfortunately, the trust, once broken, is extremely hard to regain.

Trust of prospective employees that taking a lower paying government job is worth it because it’s more secure.

Trust that the systems in place are going to hold and work as expected.

Trust that the word of the U.S. has value.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.

Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

When your country is based on a principle, violating that principle is breaking its most foundational essence, and therefore destroys what you were trying to save.
