Trump Spox Lashes Out Over Judges Blocking Trump In White House Driveway Rant Karoline Leavitt lashed out on the White House driveway over the record number of times judges have blocked Trump in just his first seven weeks in office.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days.

Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House.

It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

It took since 1887 to build up the greatest biomedical research apparatus in the world. It’ll take a few ignorant dickheads a few months to tear its heart out.

Tulsi Gabbard wanted a promoter of pro-Putin commentators to be her deputy But Daniel Davis' appointment was killed because of his criticisms of Israel.

NEW: Tulsi Gabbard tried to appoint a rightwing podcaster who regularly promotes pro-Putin commentators to one of the most important jobs in the US intelligence community. She's a problem.

Trump Doubles Down on Lie, Says Government Funded 'Transgender Surgery on Mice' Donald Trump claimed that the government has funded "transgender surgery on mice" without citing any evidence of such research.

Donald Trump perpetuated and expanded on a lie he told during his joint address to Congress where he claimed the Biden administration spent millions of dollars on scientific research to make mice transgender.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Reagan is a prime example of why saying "it's only 4/8 years" is bullshit. Reagan has been f*cking the country for over 40 years & from beyond the grave.

A group of Musk staffers attempted to take control of California’s water pumps during the devastating wildfires. Inspired by Trump, the mission involved direct pressure on federal officials and even a failed attempt to activate the pumps themselves.

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

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.

Thrust into unemployment, axed federal workers face relatives who celebrate their firing Scrambling to replace their health insurance and to find new work, some fired federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their job loss.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Failure is an option. Here's why some new space ventures go sideways Within the span of a few days, another SpaceX Starship broke up on re-entry, and two other space companies faced failures. This reflects a new "fail-fast, learn-fast" ethos of spacecraft development.

Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.

The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

“People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
