$200 million gold plated White House ballroom & $900 million airplane retrofit Trump bribe from the country of Qatar. $1.1 billion taken from the American people from public broadcasting in order to enrich Trump's lifestyle. This is the kind of thing our country revolted against in our founding.

In today’s “Wait A Damn Minute” we expose the truth about Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”:

Trump is pulling a reverse Robin Hood - he’s taking from the poor to give to the ultra-rich.

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts.

"We" are not letting Trump grift, the corrupt GOP is letting Trump grift.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. From Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Fantastic!

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

The worst form of addiction that this country now faces is the greed of the oligarchy.

Elbows up, Canada.

Have you seen this @adamkinzinger.bsky.social?

The U.S. is cutting research funding, the weather service, park rangers, Social Security Admin staff, lifesaving foreign aid, plus billions in Medicaid and food stamps. For what? To potentially buy crypto with taxpayer dollars and to give more tax cuts to the rich.

Hmmm 🤔

Wow…

At Least Now We Know the Truth It’s ugly, but necessary to face.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC

🔥 “Wake the hell up.”

Former RNC chair @michaelsteele.bsky.social goes in on Elon’s infiltration into the federal government, accessing everyone’s personal info

This is the most disgusting episode of unbridled greed and bigotry (all wrapped up in one) that I've ever seen in my life.

Thank you!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.
