Wired reporting Moscow Musk has exposed US nuclear weapons secrets online to Russia/China/North Korea/Iran while firing EVERY US agent tasked with nuclear controls & safety.
People should prepare for foreign military attacks on US soil. America is at war with a foreign saboteur as President. 🇺🇸 🩸

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Elon Musk is failing to cut American spending DOGE has so far disrupted everything in government bar the deficit

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

These fake Christians wouldn’t know Jesus if he came down from heaven and died on a cross for them…

Mexico denied US military planes access to land Thursday, temporarily frustrating the Trump administration's plans to deport immigrants to the country. Two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s, carrying 80 people each, flew deportees out of the US. The third flight, slotted for Mexico, never took off.

Trump says that he will withhold disaster relief aid from California unless it agrees to change the state’s election laws

This is insane. Can you imagine if President Biden had conditioned aid to North Carolina and Florida after Hurricane Helene only if they changed their state abortion laws?

What the Hell Is Going on at NIH? Scientists sound the alarm about Trump’s unprecedented “Big Brother” research crackdown.

“It sounds like Big Brother,” one NIH researcher said.

According to reporting by Science and email memos reviewed by Mother Jones, upcoming meetings where studies are officially greenlit were suspended. That puts new funding for all sorts of research, from cancer to the opioid crisis, on hold.

Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have to vote no on dangerous cabinet picks if he’d done his damn job in 2021.

We're going to normalize Nazi rhetoric, symbols, slogans, conspiracies and eugenics within 2 weeks. I predicted this would happen by 2024 a few years ago, and I take no joy in being right about it.

Corporate media will sanewash it. You think I'm being hyperbolic but you're not paying attention.

What Trump promises to do on day one of his return to power Our reporters track the president-elect's sweeping list of Day One pledges.

From ending birthright citizenship to forcing openly trans people out of the military, here's what to expect from Donald Trump's first day back in office.
