Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Five former defense secretaries denounced President Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, saying that the officers were β€œfired for purely partisan reasons” and urging Congress to hold hearings.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Too many of the President Trump’s nominees seem more interested in pushing the ultra-right’s extremist agenda than in fighting for working- and middle-class families.

Trump’s Inauguration Revealed Whom He Really Serves: the Billionaires and the Crypto Bros In front of Trump stood a handful of CEOs whose combined wealth topped $1.2 trillion. They and the crypto scammers are the true beneficiaries of Trump’s second term.

The combined net worth of Trump's small circle of inauguration attendees yesterday is over $1 trillion.

Remember that when Trump said "I am your voice," this is who he was talking to.

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm.

From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.
