It is our honor to serve you. America, you broke through— the media is finally picking up on what’s happening. We love you!! 🦬 💚 🇺🇸

Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.

I hope they all wasted money on hotels and travel, suckers 🤣

In a couple of days the dismantling of the American experiment will begin. No more guardrails.

Debating it won’t do anything until maybe midterms if we will have such a thing in 2026.

I’m not quite sure how we the people will fight this yet. But count me in.

That’s all.

I’m not in a very charitable mood with them either, to tell the truth.

Republicans Cut Child Cancer Research From Funding Bill After Musk's Meddling Republicans removed funding for child cancer research from a new version of a bill to fund the government after Elon Musk torpedoed the previous deal.

Very "pro-life" of them. Sure, let's not use our taxes for the people. Let's just focus on how to make the richer even rich, raise taxes for working people, & cut regulations so corporations can exploited people & further harm our climate 🙃 make it make sense.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

Funniest thing my husband said on our vacation last week: “Oh wow! My toothbrush has been to the Bahamas!”

Trump's floated idea to shutter FDIC would be political heavy lift, say analysts U.S. bank stocks were unfazed on Friday after a report that President-elect Donald Trump's team had floated the idea of shrinking or eliminating a top banking regulator, with analysts saying such a plan would not win the necessary political backing.

No one is even asking for these things! Wtf? 😩

A Coast Guard Commander Miscarried. She Nearly Died After Being Denied Care. U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal law, the military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save...

This is why "exceptions" don't work. God forbid you purposefully become pregnant just to lose you life because miscarry. Add the extraordinarily high mortality rates in the U.S. on top of that. It's scarier getting pregnant than it is to get your tubes removed.

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

This is the peace they said he would bring? "Governor" "state of Canada". Joking about annexing Canada and Mexico is far from peace. Buckle up babes, we have uncertain times ahead.

It's giving Russia 2.0

Big oil firms knew of dire effects of fossil fuels as early as 1950s, memos show Newly unearthed documents contain warning from head of Air Pollution Foundation, founded in 1953 by oil interests

Of course they knew. All companies who prioritize profit over people and the planet know. They just don’t care.

Vaccinated and still alive.

Anyone else?

We spend so much time judging others that we forget to see them.

90 million eligible voters didn't vote this election. Let that sink in.

The right thinks we are leaving MSNBC & CNN because we're coming to "their side" 😂😂😂 No babes, we're leaving because they're betraying us and they're in orange Mussolini's pocket 😉 We don't let people fear monger and brainwash us. We'd rather get reliable news, duh 💁‍♀️

Me watching CNN and MSNBC’s ratings plummet

These are human beings. Humans who hold our economy up! 44% of our farm workers are immigrants. They contribute 96 billion in taxes each year! They have a lower crime rate than an US born population! Do they know who "undocumented" immigrants are?
