Screenshot of headline that reads βBillionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman is confirmed as new NASA chief.β
SpaceX denied my request to release how many millions of dollars Jared Isaacman paid for spaceflights. Now, the Senate has confirmed him as NASA Administrator. This is a reckless move that completely ignores his deep financial ties to Elon Musk.
WTF
The world must be set free.
That is in fact what this administration has done.
AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?
There's always a tweet.
Thou shalt not vote for monsters who evict your mothers.
We are not under invasion.
There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.
Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.
What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:
βBe kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.
But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.
That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
βThis is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. Youβve just got to call it what it is.β
The Trump administration, U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., ruled, does not "possess the lawful authority under the (Alien Enemies Act), and based on the Proclamation, to detain Venezuelan aliens, transfer them within the United States, or remove them from the country."
stealing like meme from my hellsite replies because lmao
100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists.
1362 Days to go...
Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
I don't understand why, after admitting that they made a mistake, that this continues. Bondi is certaining something else. Slandering this man... Why??
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prisonβaccused of no crime, with no trialβthey can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOCβs rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed β and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Because panicked account holders doing a bank run and withdrawing their cash isn't cruel enough for these villains.

Markets want certainty, stability, and predictability. Thatβs how businesses plan, hire, and grow. What they donβt want is an unstable narcissist playing economic roulette on social media.
Donβt be fooled, tariffs are still much higher on the world than before he was inaugurated.
