Why would Trump say that releasing a list of pedophiles is an act of β€œhostility” against him? I can think of only one answer…

At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.

My 28th is tomorrow and we don’t do cards or presents either; we too view an experience like your beautiful sunrise beach visit to be a gift. Enjoy the day, and many happy returns!

Let it be known that the Trump regime is fine with you being ripped off or swindled by financial scammers.

It'll rip away health care from 16 MILLION Americans, just so Jeff Bezos can buy a third yacht.

I’ll double my NPR donation if reporters end the practice of talking with their mouths full to prove they tasted the dish they’re reporting on. You’re a highly respected radio organization; you don’t need to prove you tasted the food by pooling it in your mouth while praising it. #misophonia

This made me laugh out loud- a rare occurrence these days when looking at govt websites. I was looking up the status of a bill in Massachusetts (where cod is the state fish) and must have made a typo, because this screen popped up.

Social Security isn’t the third rail of American politics any more Team Trump seems to have concluded that Social Security is no longer the β€œthird rail of American politics” β€” that they can touch it and live to tell the tale. It will be up to voters to prove them …

So many signs I want to hold at the Hands Off rally; only two hands

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

About 75 supporters of National Parks here at Springfield Armory National Park, including Harry and Susie, who met at Sequoia National Park 61 years ago. #ResistanceRangers

Harry and Sudie met at Sequoia National Park 61 years ago and have been to about 30 National Parks since. They came to the Springfield Armory National Park today to show their support. Thank you Sudie and Harry! #resistancerangers

Fact check: that’s not why millions of people are β€œmad” at Elon.

Classic MAGA straw man.

The far right is afraid to debate because they can’t defend a deranged gazillionaire illegally dismantling important government functions without transparency or oversight.

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever.

USAID was audited three months ago.

Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

Russell Vought is on the cusp of confirmation to lead OMB, where he could gut the civil service and social safety net.

He's also the mastermind behind Project 2025, which Trump once disavowed but has so far followed to a tee during his second term.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸ’»

Republicans gear up for the coming battle over $5 trillion tax cut's costs Republicans are united on extending the 2017 tax cuts, but at odds on how to offset the cost.

Reminder that the estimated cost of extending the Trump tax cuts is at least $5 trillion β€” more than twice the amount DOGE originally stated it would cut in β€œwasteful” government spending.

Another counter propaganda meme. We need to flood the internet with these. Make your own, it’s fun! Or use mine… either way, this is our wedge right now and we need to hammer it home.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
