Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

‘It’s a Heist’: Real Federal Auditors Are Horrified by DOGE WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trump’s A.G. Just Did Something So Corrupt She Should Be Fired Already Note to right-wing “media” and all you fantasists who believe them: This is what judicial sleaze actually looks like.

A serial liar with a mighty propaganda machine working overtime for him has convinced half the country that up is down, that honor is venality, and that integrity is just a ruse for suckers who believe all that garbage from our schoolbooks.

President Trump banning the Associated Press from an event over their usage of "Gulf of Mexico" instead of "Gulf of America" may seem more absurd than alarming, but Trump's attacks on the free press are no joke.

Slow down, you're saying the guy who sieg heiled at the inauguration and then campaigned for the German far-right AfD hired a racist who advocates for eugenics? That doesn't sound right. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Buckle up everyone this is going to be a LONG thread but if you are a current Fed you are going to want to bookmark it because it’s the roadmap for what’s coming. #SaveUSAID #SaveAmerica 1/

I'm not unsympathetic to students protesting America helping Israel commit genocide of Palestinians. They were right. I am also not sympathetic to those same students staying quiet in their dorms when Donald Trump is endorsing ethic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

Elon Musk's Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink's Contracts in Ukraine The agency was in the midst of a probe into the billionaire's equipment at the time of Musk's assault.
