Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

Big loss in court for Kari Lake

Judge Royce Lamberth orders administration to restore millions of $$ in funds to Radio Free Europe

Judge: "When money has been appropriated by Congress.. Executive has no residual constitutional power to refuse to spend these appropriations"

All the elected officials afraid to speak out should hire one of those mean girl middle schoolers to run their in social media accounts. Entertaining and effective

Hey American scientists and researchers, Canada has great universities and research institutions. The Canadian government has funding available for cutting edge research.
GOC, lets become a scientific and research hub, and give these scientists a place to continue their groundbreaking work!

F around & find out

Only two weeks on the job, and Elon Musk is already the worst president America has ever had.

If only there were a vaccine to prevent this

A good read. Let’s get to work!

Getting a little tired of the power grab happening. Where are my elected officials? Effing DO something about this narcissistic, racist, wannabe dictator before it’s too damn late

Elon Musk is a terrible president!

Brought to you by the Nazi-in-Chief, Elon Musk.

Agree 💯

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach.

“Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.”

Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

Repeating for those in the back. Come the F on!

Didn’t he already remove funding? This F’ing guy. Ugh

Their smiles are creepy.

Tim Walz

We could’ve had Tim 😭

Republicans are cowards. They fall instep to the would-be dictator to avoid any virtual wrath he spews towards them. Their constituents will be harmed w/ the cuts while they continue to gain wealth in office. #democrats what’s the plan?

El Salvador Offers to Jail U.S. Criminals in Notorious Mega Prison Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised President Nayib Bukele’s “unprecedented, extraordinary” proposal to accept any convicted criminal deported by the United States.

This includes US citizens.
I’m not an attorney so I’m asking, is this legal?

Thank you, Senator! Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden demanded answers from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after reports surfaced that personnel affiliated with Elon Musk have sought access to a highly sensitive Treasury Department payment system.

@democrats-judiciary.house.gov what’s the plan?

LFG! Time to get to work!

Democrats, thank you for putting your trust in me. It's the honor of my life to serve as your next DNC Chair.

Now we’re going to pull ourselves together, work as one, and fight for the American people.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower
