Why is Trump the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl?

Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.

USDA freezes farmer funding for some programs, conservation contracts The U.S. Department of Agriculture has frozen some funding for farmers as it goes through a sweeping review, despite assurances from the Trump administration that programs helping farmers would not be affected in the government overhaul.

The Trump Administration is hurting American farmers.

By freezing USDA conservation grants for farms and ending USAID, which buys 10-20% of the whole export market, Trump is taking direct aim at our farms.

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.

Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk

is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth

Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company β€” and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia

THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID

Musk's "deferred resignation" contract is a TRAP.

Anyone who signs it WAIVES all rights to pursue legal action against the government -- including TO ENFORCE THE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT ITSELF.

So Musk and Trump can just break the contract, and there's nothing you can do.

Trump is doing by executive order what he is too weak to do by legislation.

He does not have the votes in Congress.

He wouldn't be able to get ANY of this passed if he tried.

He is the WEAKEST incoming president in 50 years.

Tell Congress: Don't defund our communities President Trump’s decision to block trillions in federal funding to critical services already approved by Congress is a reckless, cruel, unprecedented power grab that will impact every one of us.

Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country.

Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our communities.

Script from OPM memo

This memo from β€œOPM” to agency heads giving guidance on reclassifying career senior executive service (SES) employees as β€œgeneral” (i.e. easier to fire) calls SES members β€œapolitical technocrats”. The technobrats and their king are literally saying that fair and impartial leadership needs to go.

Brutal how many farmers convict moron bankrupt last time with his tariffs on other countries, this time he went right to the source with the USAID shutdown. OUR farmers supply the food aid. 2 billion dollars worth. He gets to bankrupt them and starve some brown kids to death. It’s a two-fer

Good morning!

1) We need at least one member of Congress to attempt to break through the police line at one of these agencies TODAY. Please push this with calls to your electeds, with in person meetings and on social media.
2) If an elected attempts to break the line, give me a heads up? Thank you!
