these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

WATCH: “This is a tragedy for the free world. But first and foremost a tragedy for the United States.”

This 8 minute speech by French Senator Claude Malhuret on Trump siding with Putin and what it means for the world is worth your time.

"The false narrative is that immigrants…are criminals or…cause…danger….That is…what is undermining safety in our communities. If you want to make us safe, pass gun reform, stop cutting Medicaid…cancer research…funds for veterans. That would make our city safe,” Wu said.

This is it, right here. 🔥

“I’m always curious what exactly conservatives mean when they say they love America because you hate most of the people who live here.”

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮

This morning I went to John Lewis Middle School to watch a class taught by Brian Greene. 4 days a week he teaches botany. On Fridays, he teaches the kids how to cook using plants they’ve grown in the school’s gardens.

Hit em where it hurts. Wait, us?

Yes

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Why It Matters

This investigation is an attempt to dismantle Biden-era climate initiatives under the pretense of financial oversight. By using law enforcement to target climate funding, the Trump administration is leveraging the legal system for political gain.

Meanwhile, a judge denied a request to seize the funds, but Citibank has frozen billions in grant money, preventing nonprofits from paying employees or continuing their projects.

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

After my mother telling me she was unable to purchase this book from any typical book selling site, after several failed attempts, i was able to purchase a copy of this book from Thriftbooks. PayPal credit refused to pay for this purchase as well. The fuck.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting.

Meanwhile:

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
