Elon Musk can't be trusted with rockets, drugs, video games, social media, or even his own children. He damn sure can't be trusted with your data.

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.

The Education Department announced this afternoon it is cutting about half of its workers. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up
It wasn’t pretty.

She really hates to say it.

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.”

But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

I'd go with 100, unless you count the one guy who thinks he played for the Cleveland Browns

Thank you, Canada!

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

In this vein, the B & G people would also like me to point out that many of you who have excess U.S. currency to get rid of have been trying to kill two birds with one stone by using old billions as bathroom tissue. While creative, this approach has two drawbacks: 1) It clogs the plumbing, and 2) It constitutes defacement of U.S. currency, which is a federal crime. Stephenson, Neal. Snow Crash: A Novel (p. 325).

Another month or two, gas and milk will be ten dollars a gallon.

I believe y'all helped! So tough to do when it all seems futile

Honored to be selected as Vice Ranking Member of Oversight Committee(Democrats) with my friend Rep. Gerry Connolly.

We'll be checking Trump's power & shining a light on every attack on our rights and freedoms.

We didn't play in the 118th & we're not about to start now.

Buckle up, buttercup.

➡️ The middle 20% of Americans would see an average tax hike of $1,530 in 2026 alone.
➡️The richest 5% would get a tax break.
➡️ This would cost America $7.5 trillion.

Returning this man to power won’t end well.

Eisen seems like decent people, why would you insult him like that?

Republicans move to repeal law that saves older Americans billions in health care costs Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Scott Perry is cosponsoring a bill to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

U.S. Rep. Scott Perry and 15 other House Republicans have filed a bill to completely repeal the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, President Joe Biden’s health care and clean energy infrastructure law. Repeal of the law would significantly increase costs for millions of American consumers.

Mr. Free Speech

Liberals favor a WITT ("We're In This Together") cultural ethos.

Incoming #PutinMuskAdministration of crooks, liars, traitors, and sex predators prefer a YOYO ("You're own Your Own") culture.

YOYOs kiss up and punch down because they view truth, justice and freedom as commodities to be rationed.

Yeah, who could have predicted this?

I'm a little slow to catch up on things. Case in point: we just got Netflix yesterday!
Any suggestions for can't-miss?
I stopped looking through the treasure trove when Jeff Goldblum showed up playing himself in Kaos.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning:

— 13 justices
— 7 clerks per justice
— single 18-year term
— binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment
— full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.
