The abandonment of Ukraine’s defense is in violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum-

An agreement and a promise from the United States established to defend Ukraine's territory.

In exchange, they relinquished their nuclear weapons.

Abandoning them is
abhorrent and in violation of the treaty.

Curious as to what the GOP in Michigan thinks about the cost to women and others whose names don’t match their birth certificate? Listen to Congressman Tim Walberg answer a direct question about the SAVE act.

Call your congressman today to share your outrage. And shame on Tim Walberg.

These free speech absolutists sure have a problem when the target of the speech is them and their rich buddies.

Here's an ad from @commoncause.bsky.social and @splcenter.org that the cowards at the @washingtonpost.com wouldn't run

Trump's Federal Buyout Program Closes After Judge Signs Off: Live Updates

The United States State Department is now planning to spend $400 million in taxpayer money to buy Tesla Cybertrucks.

💰 Cutting billions in programs for regular people while passing trillions in tax cuts for the rich while pretending to care about the debt.

Pay attention.

As we approach #America250, its important to remember:

it took 92 years to end slavery

it took women 144 years to win the vote

it took nearly 190 years for Black people to be guaranteed voting rights

it took nearly 240 years to legalize same-sex marriage

don't give up

our ancestors didn't

Nearly $7 million has been “apportioned” over the past week to cover DOGE-related expenses.

This is how the world views the US.

Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

Holy wow.
Not cool.
Never normalize this.
Watch 👀

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

THAT’S. NOT. THE. POINT !

The POINT is that CONGRESS appropriates the money. You think it’s being spent on the wrong things or that there is fraud YOU. TAKE. IT. UP. WITH. CONGRESS.

I’m surprised our members of Congress are so calm about being made redundant💁🏻

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Karoline Leavitt just confirmed DOGE engineers have “read-only” access in the treasury.

First of all, do you buy that? And secondly, “read-only” still means they can read—and collect—our Social Security numbers. They’re techies; even I could get around that.

This is how it’s done 🔥

Cut off Karoline Leavitt and fact-check in real time.

We heard what Trump said about sending troops to Gaza yesterday! @msnbc.com

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Musk’s USAID Shutdown: ‘This Is What the Beginning of Dictatorship Looks Like’ Plus: Don Jr. shoots the wrong ducks in Italy.

(10) The Republicans gleefully cheering on Musk—several of whom were thirsting for attention in these X threads—act as if they always disliked and doubted USAID. But many had records of praising USAID. Check out all the stuff our Joe Perticone dug up yesterday about Marco Rubio ❤️ing USAID.

A hand-drawn old school doge meme, it's quite good Text: fake agency, much illegal, very data breach, such treasury, unelected, very cool, wow

Favorite sign so far

@rokhanna.bsky.social says at the other site that he didn't abstain from the Musk vote. it was hastily called and he simply wasn't there. Elon is sad, apparently.

Head Start programs across the country are not able to access federal funds. Even before all of its field staff were recalled, it is clear that life-saving US AID programs were not operating, despite an order to exempt them from any spending freeze. A US AID worker was blunt: “At a minimum, 300 babies that wouldn’t have had HIV, now do.” Imagine those effects multiple and spread across the globe as the largest provider of food aid in the world is shuttered.

Things are starting to break. This isn't Silicon Valley magic. It is lawlessness and incompetence. People need to know what they are doing.

MIKE HONDA WOULD HAVE VOTED TO GET HIS ASS

Where do I get me one of those $2 aeroplane tix? Gonna pop up to San Francisco to see if egg prices are better there.

Complete and total gratuitous mayhem — and on top of every other savagery and stupidity involved there is no way that this kind of wasteful abandonment of investments and frantic evacuations are cost saving — it’s just vandalism and nobody voted for this shit.

Ayanna Pressley: "Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby."

The changes made by Elon's coders are focused on "creating new paths to block payments and possibly leave less visibility into what has been blocked."

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

Venezuelan Americans react to Trump’s decision to revoke deportation protections for Venezuelans in the U.S.,risking their deportation:

We feel betrayed. They lied to us. During the campaign Trump & Republicans told us they wouldn't touch legal immigrants

They have trashed valuable products your tax money paid for.
