Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress - demonstrably - approve of everything he’s doing
I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.
The SAVE plan, which allowed student loan borrowers to pay back their loans based on their income, is dead after the Trump administration refused to defend it in court.
Now, monthly payments will spike by as much as 400%.
Trump is making the affordability crisis worse by the day.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
This is the reality of what AI companies want for the future: where EVERYONE is unable to function without relying on them for "intelligence as a utility."
In order for them to sell this to us, they need to convince us our brains are never creative, interesting, able enough.
Turning the world over to madmen. That is what is happening. Madmen.
Billionaires’ % share of federal election spending in:
2008: 0.3%

If Iran has laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, it would be a catastrophe for the global economy.
It would take weeks or months of specialised work to demine the route.
Trump is utterly out of his depth. All of this was long predicted by open source analysis of how a war with Iran could unfold.
Wow.
Sen Murphy just now: Trump team briefed Capitol Hill that destroying Iran’s nuclear program is NOT one of their objectives.
So why ARE we at war? What the F are we doing there? Is Trump sick? Senile? Psychotic?
Really — what the hell is going on?
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.
“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.
We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?
BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!
K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?
B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up
Pete Hegseth's "Department of War" spent $7.4 million on lobster tails, more than $15 million on ribeye steaks, and hundreds of thousands on doughnuts...in September.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country
Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
The most important story from Sunday not related to the Iran war. It got resonance around the world, but inside the US, not so much. Front page of today's Miami Herald.
Everything’s fine
this is what happens when you elect someone based on the premise that he's such a successful businessman
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.
