Hate to break it to you guys, but Kristi Noem was not *fired.*

Instead, they β€œtransferred” her a β€œspecial new role” as β€œspecial envoy for The Shield of the Americas,” which is totally a β€œreal position” with β€œimportant responsibilities.”

It’s 100% not a made up nepo baby job πŸ˜‰

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Peter Thiel lied.

He did not just meet Jeffrey Epstein. He took his money. Epstein funneled 40 million dollars into Thiel's ventures and advised him on his taxes.

The man who owns JD Vance and founded Palantir was financially intertwined with a sex trafficker

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

Find them here: reps.fyi

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits.

Republicans are telling the American peopleβ€”there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks.

Just never any money for health care or families here at home.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

The Transgender female athletes advantage is a myth.
YouTube video by Kirsti Miller30 The Transgender female athletes advantage is a myth.

Since the IOC created a rule for trans athletes to compete in 2003, over 84,000 people have become Olympians. Out of those 84,000 a total of 2 have been trans women & one came dead last the other came 37th out of 42. Neither were from πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ or the πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Trump’s attack on Iran and the plot against your vote Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "Iran, Venezuela, China, Italy, Cuba and Germany are not the reason Trump lost in 2020 β€” he is. These countries do not justify an authoritarian takeover in 2026. No foreign threat or domestic circumstance grants him that power."

Judge blocks Trump admin from rescinding health grants to Democratic-led states The ruling temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants that had already been allocated to four Democratic-led states.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
